DESCRIPTION
The SY88943V limiting post amplifier with its high gain
and wide bandwidth is ideal for use as a post amplifier in
fiber-optic receivers with data rates up to 2.5Gbps.
Signals as small as 5mVp-p can be amplified to drive
devices with PECL inputs. The SY88943V generates a
chatter-free Signal Detect (SD) open collector TTL output.
The SY88943V incorporates a programmable level detect
function to identify when the input signal has been lost.
The SD output will change from logic “HIGH” to logic “LOW”
when input signal is smaller than the swing set by SD
This information can be fed back to the EN input of the
device to maintain stability under loss of signal condition.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
General
The SY88943V is an integrated limiting amplifier intended
for high-frequency fiber-optic applications. The circuit
connects to typical transimpedance amplifiers found within
a fiber-optics link. The linear signal output from a
transimpedance amplifier can contain significant amounts
of noise, and may vary in amplitude over time. The
SY88943V limiting amplifier quantizes the signal and outputs
a voltage-limited waveform.
The EN pin allows the user to disable the output signal
without removing the input signal.

DESIGN PROCEDURE
SY88943V
Output Termination
The SY88943V outputs must be terminated with a 50Ω
load to VCC–2V (or Thevenin equivalent).
Layout and PCB Design
Since the SY88943V is a high-frequency component,
performance can be largely determined by the board layout
and design. A common problem with high-gain amplifiers is
the feedback from the large swing outputs to the input via
the power supply.

The SY88943V ground pin should be connected to the
circuit board ground. Use multiple PCB vias close to the
part to connect to ground. Avoid long, inductive runs which
can degrade performance.
