DESCRIPTION

The SA5217 is a 75MHz postamplifier system designed to accept low level high-speed signals. These signals are converted into a TTL level at the output. The SA5217 can be DC coupled with the previous transimpedance stage using SA5210, SA5211 or SA5212A transimpedance amplifiers.

FEATURES

• Postamp for the SA5211/5212A. SA5210 preamplifier family

• Wideband operation: typical 75MHz (150MBaud NRZ)

• Interstage filtering/equalization possible

• Single 5V supply

• Low signal flag

• Output disable

• Link status threshold and hysteresis programmable

• LED driver (normally ON with above threshold signal)

• Fully differential for excellent PSRR

• Auto-zero loop for DC offset cancellation

• 2kV ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD) protection

APPLICATIONS

• Fiber optics

• Communication links in Industrial and/or Telecom environment with high EMI/RFI

• Local Area Networks (LAN)

• Synchronous Optical Networks (SONET) STS-1

• RF limiter

• Good for 223 -1 pseudo random bit stream
