The LG1628AXA is capable of handling input currents from 3 µAavg to 4 mAavg (patent pending). Amplifier operation is from a single –5.2 V power supply. The targeted transmission system is SONET OC-48 and SDH STM-16. OVERLOAD CONTROL 5-5329(F) Figure 1.

These are absolute stress ratings only. Functional operation of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in excess of those given in the operational sections of the data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for extended periods can adversely affect device reliability. Table 3.

Lucent Technologies Microelectronics Group employs a human-body model (HBM) and a charged-device model (CDM) for ESD-susceptibility testing and protection design evaluation. No industry-wide standard has been adopted for the CDM. However, a standard HBM (resistance = 1500 Ω, capacitance = 100 pF) is widely used and, therefore, can be used for comparison purposes. The HBM ESD threshold presented here was obtained by using these circuit parameters. Table 5.

Operational amplifiers OP1 and OP2 should have the following characteristics (suggested op amps are the LMC6082IM or OP291GS, both are available as dual op amps in an 8-pin SOIC package): a.Single 5 V supply operation. d.High-level output to within 2 V of the positive rail. b. Maximum input offset voltage of 1 mV. e.Gain bandwidth product ≥1.8 MHz. c. Low-level output includes negative rail. f. Large signal voltage gain ≥100 V/mV. 2. An on-chip 75 kΩ resistor to the negative supply is provided for biasing the voltage reference. Approximately 100 µA of current will be drawn. (Suggested bandgap reference is the LM4040BIM–2.5, available in an SOT-23 package.) 3. Node IN+ is nominally at –3.3 Vdc. APD supply voltage +Vdet should be adjusted appropriately. 4. RINLIN may be necessary to achieve stability depending on the physical arrangement of the APD and its associated electrical parasitics (series inductance and other resonances). The amplifier will be stable with a 0.5 pF detector capacitance in series with a 0.5 nH inductor, but packaged detectors usually do not behave so ideally at frequencies above a few gigahertz. A parallel RL network consisting of a 200 Ω resistor and a 6 nH inductor is provided on HIC and may be optionally used with a slight noise penalty. Good isolation from output to input is also essential for amplifier stability. 5. A low-pass filter is provided on the LG1628AXA HIC to reduce higher-frequency noise contributions (Butterworth N = 2, Zo = 50 and fc = 4.25 GHz, LOUT = 2.65 nH, COUT = 0.5 pF). Figure 4.
