Gigabit Ethernet/Fibre Channel transimpedance amplifier TZA3043
FEATURES
• Wide dynamic range, typically 2.5 µA to 1.5 mA
• Differential transimpedance of 14 kΩ
• Wide bandwidth of 950 MHz
• Differential outputs
• On-chip AGC (Automatic Gain Control)
• No external components required
• Single supply voltage from 3.0 to 5.5 V
• Bias voltage for PIN diode
• Pin compatible with TZA3023 and SA5223.
APPLICATIONS
• Digital fibre optic receiver in medium and long haul
optical telecommunications transmission systems or in
high speed data networks
• Wideband RF gain block.
DESCRIPTION
The TZA3043 is a high speed transimpedance amplifier
with AGC designed to be used in Gigabit Ethernet/Fibre
Channel optical links. It amplifies the current generated by
a photo detector (PIN diode or avalanche photodiode) and
converts it to a differential output voltage.
