GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ML6622 high-speed data quantizer (post-amplifier) is a low noise, wide-band, BiCMOS monolithic IC designed for high-speed signal recovery applications, such as FDDI, Fast Ethernet, and ATM. An internal DC restoration feedback loop nulls any offset voltage produced in the input stage. The limiting amplifier contributes to a high level of sensitivity and a minimum of duty cycle distortion.
