DESCRIPTION
The SY88993AV limiting post amplifier with its high and
wide bandwidth is ideal for use as a post amplifier in fiberoptic receivers with data rates up to 3.2Gbps. Signals as
small as 4mVp-p can be amplified to drive devices with
CML inputs or AC coupled PECL inputs. The SY88993AV
generates a chatter-free Loss of Signal (LOS) open collector
TTL output.
The SY88993AV incorporates a programmble level detect
function to identify when the input signal has been lost.
This information can be fed back to the /EN input of the
device to maintain stability under loss of signal conditions.
Using LOS

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
General
The SY88993AV 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
SY88993AV 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.

1. Permanent device damage may occur if ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS are exceeded. This is a stress rating only and functional operation is not implied
at conditions other than those detailed in the operational sections of this data sheet. Exposure to ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATlNG conditions for extended
