General Description
The MAX3866 combined transimpedance preamplifier and limiting postamplifier is intended for application in SDH/SONET systems operating at 2.488Gbps. It operates from a single +3.3V or +5V supply and provides a differential output signal. The differential outputs are each 50Ω reverse terminated (100Ω differential termination) for low-noise and high-speed signal performance.

FEATUREs
♦ Input Sensitivities Better than -22dBm (7.8µAp-p)
♦ Overdrive Capability Better than +1.4dBm (2.5mAp-p)
♦ Single +3.3V or +5V Supply
♦ 165mW Power Dissipation (at 3.3V)
♦ 1.8GHz Analog Input Bandwidth
♦ Programmable Loss-of-Power Indicator
♦ 100Ω Differential Output
