PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The ADN2820 is a compact, high performance, 3.3 V power
supply SiGe transimpedance amplifier (TIA) optimized for
10 Gbps Metro-Access and Ethernet systems. It is a single chip
solution for detecting photodiode current with a differential
output voltage. The ADN2820 features low input referred noise
current and high output transimpedance gain, capable of
driving a typical CDR or transceiver directly. A POWMON
output is provided for input average power monitoring and
alarm generation. Low nominal output offset enables dc output
coupling to 3.3 V circuits. The OFFSET control input enables
output slice level adjustment for asymmetric input signals. The
ADN2820 operates with a 3.3 V power supply and is available in
die form.

ESD CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although
this product features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices
subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are
recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.
Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any
other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.

Average optical power monitor (OPM) measurement is a
recommended diagnostic feature in module multisource
specification agreements (MSAs) such as the 300-pin 10 Gb
transponder (MSA300) and 10 Gb form factor pluggable
module (XFP) specifications.
The ADN2820 enables the simple calculation of OPM using the
POWMON output, which is linearly proportional to the average
input current. When monitoring the POWMON output,
connect to a high impedance input; typical POWMON output
impedance is 1 kΩ. To disable the POWMON feature, leave the
pad floating (not bonded).

OUTPUT OFFSET ADJUST INPUT
Long reach optical links may suffer from unbalanced 1 and 0
signal shaping due to dispersion and/or optical or avalanche
amplification noise. The ADN2820 enables the user to adjust
the input-referred slice level by adjusting the output offset with
the ADN2820’s outputs dc-coupled.
With the OFFSET pad open (not bonded), the average output
voltage offset [OUT – OUTB] is internally balanced to be less
than ±5 mV. When externally driven by a voltage source, the
ADN2820 average output voltage offset [OUT – OUTB] is
linearly proportional to an applied OFFSET input voltage:
LOW FREQUENCY TRANSIMPEDANCE CUTOFF
CAPACITOR SELECTION
Digital encoding methods may generate long strings of 1s or 0s,
requiring the transimpedance amplifier pass band to extend to
1 MHz or below. To accommodate this requirement, the
ADN2820 has –3 dB low frequency transimpedance cutoff set
by external capacitor C
the typical –3 dB low frequency transimpedance cutoff can be
estimated by the equation
Because C
is not part of the 10 Gbps signal chain, it is not
LF
required to be a high frequency capacitor type. A ceramic
capacitor is recommended.
