The ADN2892 is a high gain, limiting amplifier optimized for
use in Fibre Channel and GbE optical receivers. The ADN2892
accepts input levels of up to 2.0 V p-p differential and has 3 mV
p-p differential input sensitivity. The ADN2892 provides the
receiver functions of quantization and loss of signal (LOS)
detection.
The ADN2892 has an on-chip selectable filter to reduce the BW
of the limamp to 1.5GHz in order to filter out the relaxation
oscillation of legacy 1Gb/s Fiber Channel transmitters with CD
lasers. The reduced BW will also allow for more optical Rx
sensitivity margin at the lower data rates such as 1xFC and
1GbE in multi-rate modules.
The limiting amplifier also measures average received power
based on a direct measurement of the photodiode current with
better than 1 dB of accuracy over the entire input range of the
receiver. This eliminates the need for external average Rx power
detection circuitry in SFF-8472 compliant optical transceivers.
The ADN2892 limiting amplifier operates from a single 3.3 V
supply, has low power dissipation, and is available in a spacesaving 3 × 3 mm 16-lead lead frame chip scale package
(LFCSP).

ADN2892 Preliminary Technical Data
THEORY OF OPERATION
LIMAMP
Input Buffer
The limiting amplifier has differential inputs (PIN/NIN), with
an internal 50 Ω termination. The ROSA (receive optical subassembly) is typically ac-coupled to the ADN2892 inputs
(although dc coupling is possible).
There is an on-chip, input offset compensation loop with a
30kHz low-frequency cutoff.
CML Output Buffer
The ADN2892 provides CML outputs, OUTP/OUTN. The
outputs are internally terminated with 50 Ω to V
The outputs can be kept at a static voltage by driving the
SQUELCH pin to a logic high. The SQUELCH pin can be
driven directly by the LOS pin, which automatically disables the
LIMAMP outputs in situations with no data input.
.
CC
BANDWIDTH SELECT
The ADN2892 has an on-chip selectable 4th order BesselThomson filter in order to support 1x/2x/4x Fiber Channel
transceivers utilizing rate select. Setting the BW_SEL pin to
logic 0 selects the on-chip filter which reduces the BW of the
limamp to ~1.5GHz. This is sufficient to filter out the relaxation
oscillation from legacy 1Gb/s Fiber Channel transmitters using
CD lasers while still providing enough BW to be backwards
compatible with 1x/2x FC multi-rate SFP modules that don't
use the rate select function.
Setting the BW_SEL pin to a logic 1 sets the bandwidth of the
ADN2892 to the full BW of ~4.25GHz. This rate select protocol
is compliant with SFF-8079 Rev 1.0
LOSS OF SIGNAL (LOS) DETECTOR
The receiver front-end LOS detector circuit indicates when the
input signal level has fallen below a user-adjustable threshold.
The threshold is set by a resistor connected between the
THRADJ pin and V
threshold, the LOS output will assert to a logic 1. There is
hysteresis built into the LOS circuit to prevent chattering at the
LOS output. The LOS hysteresis is typically 5dB.
The LOS output is an open-drain output that needs to be
externally pulled up with a 4.7kΩ-10kΩ resistor. The LOS
output active high by default which is compliant with the SFP
and GBIC MSAs. There is an LOS_INV input which, when set
to a logic 1, inverts the LOS output so that it is active low. This
is in order to support the SFF MSA.
. When the input level drops below this
EE
RECEIVED SIGNAL STRENGTH INDICATOR (RSSI)
The ADN2892 has an on-chip RSSI circuit that automatically
detects the average received power, based on a direct measurement of the PIN photodiode’s current. The photodiode bias is
supplied by the ADN2892, which allows a very accurate, onchip, average power measurement based on the amount of
current supplied to the photodiode. The output of the RSSI is a
current that is directly proportional to the average amount of
PIN photodiode current. Placing a resistor between the
RSSI_OUT pin and GND converts the current to a GND
referenced voltage. This function eliminates the need for
external RSSI circuitry in SFF-8472 compliant optical receivers.
SQUELCH MODE
Driving the SQUELCH input to a logic high disables the
limiting amplifier outputs. The SQUELCH input can be
connected to the LOS output to keep the limiting amplifier
outputs at a static voltage level anytime the input level to the
limiting amplifier drops below the programmed LOS threshold.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
PCB DESIGN GUIDELINES
Proper RF PCB design techniques must be used for optimal
performance.
Power Supply Connections and Ground Planes
Use of one low impedance ground plane is recommended. The
VEE pins should be soldered directly to the ground plane to
reduce series inductance. If the ground plane is an internal
plane and connections to the ground plane are made through
vias, multiple vias can be used in parallel to reduce the series
inductance, especially on Pin 9, which is the ground return for
the output buffers. The exposed pad should be connected to the
GND plane using filled vias so that solder does not leak through
the vias during reflow. Using filled vias under the package

greatly enhances the reliability of the connectivity of the
exposed pad to the GND plane during reflow.
Use of a 10 µF electrolytic capacitor between VCC and VEE is
recommended at the location where the 3.3 V supply enters the
PCB. When using 0.1 µF and 1 nF ceramic chip capacitors, they
should be placed between the IC power supply VCC and VEE,
as close as possible to the ADN2892 VCC pins.
If connections to the supply and ground are made through vias,
the use of multiple vias in parallel helps to reduce series
inductance, especially on Pin 12, which supplies power to the
high speed OUTP/ OUTN output buffers. Refer to the
schematic in Figure 8 for recommended connections.

ADN2892 Preliminary Technical Data
PCB Layout
Figure 9 shows a recommended PC board layout. Use of 50 Ω
transmission lines is required for all high frequency input and
output signals to minimize reflections: PIN, NIN, OUTP and
OUTN. It is also necessary for the PIN/NIN input traces to be
matched in length, and OUTP/OUTN output traces to be
matched in length to avoid skew between the differential traces.
C1, C2, C3, and C4 are ac coupling capacitors in series with the
high speed I/O. It is recommended that components be used
such that the pad for the capacitor is the same width as the
transmission line to minimize the mismatch in the 50 Ω
transmission line at the capacitor's pads. It is recommended that
the transmission lines not change layers through vias, if
possible. For supply decoupling, the 1nF decoupling capacitor
should be placed on the same layer as the ADN2892 as close as
possible to the VCC pin. The 0.1uF capacitor can be placed on
the bottom of the PCB directly underneath the 1nF decoupling
capacitor. All high speed CML outputs are back-terminated on

chip with 50 Ω resistors connected between the output pin and
VCC. The high speed inputs, PIN and NIN, are internally
terminated with 50 Ω to an internal reference voltage.
As with any high speed mixed-signal design, take care to keep
all high speed digital traces away from sensitive analog nodes.
Soldering Guidelines for Chip Scale Package
The lands on the 16 LFCSP are rectangular. The printed circuit
board pad for these should be 0.1 mm longer than the package
land length and 0.05 mm wider than the package land width.
The land should be centered on the pad. This ensures that the
solder joint size is maximized. The bottom of the chip scale
package has a central exposed pad. The pad on the printed
circuit board should be at least as large as this exposed pad. The
user must connect the exposed pad to VEE using filled vias so
that solder does not leak through the vias during reflow. This
ensures a solid connection from the exposed pad to VEE.
