SY88343DL
3.3V, 3.2Gbps CML Limiting Post Amplifier
with High-Gain TTL Loss-of-Signal
General Description
Features
The SY88343DL low-power, high-sensitivity, limiting,
post amplifier is designed for use in fiber-optic receivers.
The device connects to typical transimpedance
amplifiers (TIAs). The linear signal output from TIAs can
contain significant amounts of noise and may vary in
amplitude over time. The SY88343DL quantizes these
signals and outputs CML level waveforms.
The SY88343DL operates from a single +3.3V power
o
o
supply, over temperatures ranging from –40 C to +85 C.
With its wide bandwidth, high gain, and signals with data
rates up to 3.2Gbps and as small as 5mVPP can be
amplified to drive devices with CML inputs or ACcoupled CML/PECL inputs.
The SY88343DL generates a high-gain loss-of-signal
(LOS) open-collector TTL output. This function has a
high-gain input stage for increased LOS sensitivity. A
programmable loss-of-signal level set pin (LOSLVL) sets
the sensitivity of the input amplitude detection. LOS
asserts high if the input amplitude falls below the
threshold set by LOSLVL and de-asserts low otherwise.
The enable bar input (/EN) de-asserts the true output
signal without removing the input signal. The LOS
output can be fed back to the /EN input to maintain
output stability under a loss-of-signal condition.
Typically, 3.5dB LOS hysteresis is provided to prevent
chattering.

Notes:
1. Permanent device damage may occur if absolute maximum ratings are exceeded. This is a stress rating only and functional
operation is not implied at conditions other than those detailed in the operational sections of this data sheet. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
2. The data sheet limits are not guaranteed if the device is operated beyond the operating ratings.
3. Package thermal resistance assumes exposed pad is soldered (or equivalent) to the device’s most negative potential (GND)
on the PCB. ΨJB uses 4-layer (θJA) in still-air-number, unless otherwise stated.

7. 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 upon the level of received optical power and ROSA
characteristics. Based on that ratio, the optical hysteresis corresponding to the electrical hysteresis range 2dB-4.5dB, shown in
the AC characteristics table, will be 1dB-3dB Optical Hysteresis.

its associated de-assert amplitude.

SY88343DL
Functional Block Diagram
Detailed Description
Loss-of-signal
The SY88343DL generates a chatter-free LOS opencollector TTL output with an internal 4.75k
Ω pull -up
resistor, as shown in Figure 4. LOS is used to
determine that the input amplitude is large enough to
be considered a valid input. LOS asserts high if the
input amplitude falls below the threshold set by
LOSLVL and de-asserts low otherwise. LOS can be fed
back to the enable bar (/EN) input to maintain output
stability under a loss of signal condition. /EN deasserts the true output signal without removing the
input signals. Typically, 3.5dB LOS hysteresis is
provided to prevent chattering.
Loss-of-signal Level Set
A programmable LOS level set pin (LOSLVL) sets the
threshold of the input amplitude detection. Connecting
an external resistor between VCC and LOSLVL sets the
voltage at LOSLVL. This voltage ranges from VCC to
VREF. The external resistor creates a voltage divider
between VCC and VREF, as shown, in Figure 5.
Hysteresis
The SY88343DL typically provides 3.5dB LOS
electrical hysteresis. By definition, a power ratio
measured in dB is 10log (power ratio). Power is
2
calculated as V IN/R for an electrical signal. Hence,
the same ratio can be stated as 20log (voltage ratio).
While in linear mode, the electrical voltage input
changes linearly with the optical power and therefore,
the ratios change linearly. Thus, the optical hysteresis
in dB is half the electrical hysteresis in dB given in the
data sheet. Since the SY88343DL is an electrical
device, this data sheet refers to hysteresis in electrical
terms. With 3.5dB LOS hysteresis, a voltage factor of
1.5 is required to assert or de-assert LOS.
The SY88343DL high-sensitivity limiting post amplifier
operates from a single +3.3V power supply, over
o
o
temperatures from –40 C to +85 C. Signals with data
rates up to 3.2Gbps and as small as 5mVPP can be
amplified. Figure 1 shows the allowed input voltage
swing. The SY88343DL generates a LOS output.
LOSLVL sets the sensitivity of the input amplitude
detection.
Input Amplifier/Buffer
Figure 2 shows a simplified schematic of the
SY88343DL’s input stage. The high-sensitivity of the
input amplifier allows signals as small as 5mVPP to be
detected and amplified. The input amplifier also allows
input signals as large as 1800mVPP. Input signals are
linearly amplified with a typical 38dB differential
voltage gain. Since it is a limiting amplifier, the
SY88343DL outputs typically 800mVPP voltage-limited
waveforms for input signals that are greater than
12mVPP. Applications requiring the SY88343DL to
operate with high-gain should have the upstream TIA
placed as close as possible to the SY88343DL’s input
pins to ensure the best performance of the device.
Output Buffer
The SY88343DL’s CML output buffer is designed to
drive 50Ω lines. The output buffer requires appropriate
termination for proper operation. An external
Ω 50
resistor to VCC for each output pin provides this. Figure
3 shows a simplified schematic of the output stage.
