The VSC7959 is a single supply limiting amplifier with Loss of Signal (LOS) detect for SONET/SDH and
Fibre Channel applications up to 3.125Gb/s. The VSC7959 provides a constant output signal swing for a wide
range of input voltages a nd h as Current -Mode Logic ( CML) outp uts. Th e VSC796 1 pro vides the same funct ionality as the VSC7959 with positive emitter-coupled logic (PECL) outputs. Key features of the VSC7959 are its
RMS power detectors for programmable LOS detection, optional output squelch, adjustable output levels,
excellent jitter performance, and fast edge rates. The VSC7959 is available in die form or in a TSSOP-16 package.
NOTES: (1) Deterministic jitter measured peak-to-peak with K28.5 pattern. (2) Random jitter measured with minimum input.
