SY88073L
1G to 12.5G Limiting Post Amplifier with
Programmable Decision Threshold
Revision 1.0
General Description
The SY88073L limiting post amplifier is designed for use in
fiber-optic receivers for continuous mode, multi-rate
applications from 1Gbps to 12.5Gbps.
The SY88073L contains a high-bandwidth, high-sensitivity
input stage with user-programmable, wide-range SD
assert/LOS de-assert threshold levels, which enables
optimized system reach. Typically, 4dB of electrical
hysteresis is provided to minimize LOS or SD chattering
caused by noisy input signals. A logic level control pin is
provided to enable user selection of an open-collector,
TTL-compatible LOS or SD status indication signal with an
external 5kΩ to 10kΩ pull-up resistor.
The SY88073L provides faster SD assert and LOS deassert times (than typical continuous mode devices) over
the entire differential input voltage range of 10mVPP to
1800mVPP.
The SY88073L input stage also provides a user-adjustable
decision threshold circuit to optimize BER in noisy
applications such as WDM, where EDFA and Raman
amplifiers contribute uneven noise levels. By applying an
external control voltage, the decision threshold can
typically be adjusted from 30% to 70% from the nominal
50% threshold when the circuit is disabled.
The SY88073L provides integrated 50Ω input and output
impedances to optimize the high-speed signal paths and
reduce component count. The post amplifier outputs have
user-selectable polarity inversion control to simplify PCB
layout. A TTL-compatible JAM input is provided to enable
a SQUELCH function by feeding back the LOS or SD
signal. The JAM input disables only the post amplifier
output.
The SY88073L operates from a single +3.3V power
supply, over temperatures ranging from –40°C to +85°C.

consecutive identical bits in the application (typical values are in the range of 0.001µF to 0.1µF).
12. See “Typical Operating Characteristics” for a graph showing how to choose a particular RLOSLVL for a particular LOS assert and its associated deassert amplitude.
13. This specification defines electrical hysteresis as 20log (LOS de-assert/LOS assert). The ratio between optical hysteresis and electrical hysteresis is
found to vary between 1.5 and 2, depending on the level of received optical power and ROSA characteristics.

SY88073L
Functional Description
Signal Detect/Loss of Signal
The
SY88073L
generates
a
user-selectable
(SD/LOS_SEL pin) signal detect (SD) or loss of signal
(LOS) open-collector TTL output, as shown in Figure 4.
LOS is used to determine whether the input amplitude is
too small to be considered as a valid input. LOS asserts
high if the input amplitude falls below the threshold set by
SD/LOSLVL and de-asserts low otherwise. LOS can be
fed back to the JAM input to perform the SQUELCH
function and to maintain output stability under a LOS
condition. JAM de-asserts the true output signal low
without removing the input signals. Typically, 4dB LOS
hysteresis is provided to prevent chattering.
The SY88073L is a high-sensitivity, high-bandwidth
limiting post amplifier. It operates from a single +3.3V
power supply across the entire industrial temperature
range of –40°C to +85°C.
Signals with data rates from 1Gbps to 12.5Gbps and
amplitudes as small as 10mVPP are supported. Figure 1
shows the allowed input voltage swing.
900 (mV)
RXIN+
VIS (mV)
When SD/LOSLVL is used to select the SD output on the
SD/LOS pin, SD is asserted when the differential input
signal amplitude exceeds the level set by the
SD/LOSLVL resistor. The JAM operation is inverted when
SD is selected.

1800 (mVPP)

(RXIN-)
Signal Detect/Loss of Signal Level Setting
A programmable SD/LOS level set pin (SD/LOSLVL) sets
the threshold of the input amplitude detection.
Connecting an external resistor between VCC and
SD/LOSLVL sets the threshold voltage. This voltage
ranges from VCC to VCC − 1.3V. The external resistor
creates a voltage divider between VCC and VCC − 1.3V, as
shown in Figure 5.
VID (mVPP)
10 (mVPP)
Figure 1. VIS and VID Definition
The SY88073L has a selectable SD or LOS status output
signal that can be fed back to the JAM input to perform
the SQUELCH function for output stability if there is no
signal at the input. SD/LOSLVL sets the sensitivity of the
input amplitude detection.
Hysteresis
The SY88073L provides typically 4dB LOS electrical
hysteresis, which is defined as 20log (VINLOS_De-Assert ÷
VINLOS_Assert). Because the relationship of the voltage
output of the ROSA to optical power at its input is linear,
the optical hysteresis is typically half of the electrical
hysteresis reported in the datasheet. In practice, the ratio
between electrical and optical hysteresis is found to be
between 1.5 and 1.8. Thus, 4dB electrical hysteresis
corresponds to an optical hysteresis within the range of
2dB to 2.4dB.
In applications where the noise is not evenly distributed
between the high and the low levels of the signal, such as
links using EDFA amplifiers, the zero crossing point
(decision threshold) of the signal can be adjusted, using
the VTHN and VTHP pins to optimize the performance of
the link.
Input Amplifier/Buffer
Figure 2 shows a simplified schematic of the input stage.
The high sensitivity of the input amplifier allows signals
as small as 10mVPP to be detected and amplified. The
input amplifier allows input signals as large as 1800mVPP.
Input signals are amplified with a typical 44dB differential
voltage gain. The user will need to select the appropriate
AC coupling capacitor value for their application.
Signal Crossing Point Adjustment
To optimize the decision threshold level, and so the BER
of the optical link where the noise is unevenly distributed
between the high and the low levels, the SY88073L
provides two pins for output signal crossing point
adjustment (decision threshold) control.
Output Buffer
The SY88073L CML output buffer is designed to drive
50Ω impedance transmission lines and is internally
terminated with 50Ω to VCC. Figure 3 shows a simplified
schematic of the output stage. The user will need to
select the appropriate AC coupling capacitor value for
their application.
November 8, 2013
The output signal crossing can be adjusted by connecting
VTHN (pin 5) to VTH_REF (pin 6), and applying a DC
signal at VTHP (pin 16). By varying the DC signal at
VTHP from 0V to 2.5V while the input signal to the post
amplifier is less than 60mVPP, the crossing point of the
output signal changes from approximately 30% to 70%,
reaching 50% when VTHP = VTH_REF = 1.25V. If the
crossing point control function is not needed, VTHN and
VTHP must be connected to GND.
