General Description
HmC914lp4e is a limiting amplifier designed to support data transmission rates up to 12.5 gbps. the amplifier can operate over a wide range of input voltage levels and provides constant-level differential output swing. HmC914lp4e features a loss of signal (lOs) indicator output where the input signal amplitude threshold level can be adjusted using the lOstH pin. HmC914lp4e also features an output level control pin, VaC, which allows for loss compensation or for output signal level optimization. Differential output signal swing can be adjusted up to 750 mVp-p. an integrated DC offset compensation is also provided on chip. the HmC914lp4e provides an analog rssi output voltage which is proportional to input signal amplitude. all single-ended input signals are terminated with 50 ohms to +3.3V on-chip, and may be either aC or DC coupled. the outputs of the HmC914lp4e may be operated either differentially or single-ended. the HmC914lp4e operates from a single +3.3V DC supply and is available in a plastic roHs compliant 4x4 mm smt package.

Application Information
Loss of Signal and Setting the Input Signal Threshold
the HmC914lp4e features an input signal level monitoring over a broad range. en external resistor is used at lOstH pin to program the input signal amplitude threshold for generating the lOs output indicator. When this pin is kept floating lOstH level is set internally to single-ended 63 mVp-p. lOs is an open collector output suitable for wired-Or connection for parallel alarm signals; it requires an external pull-up resistor, rlOs. if the input signal level drops below the asserted threshold level then, lOs output DC voltage goes low. it goes high only when the input level exceeds the upper hysteresis threshold level. When lOstH pin is floating then the de-assert level will be single-ended 110 mVp-p. if this function is not required, the lOs output can be left floating.
6
limiting amplifiers - smt
if input threshold value is desired to be higher than 63 mVp-p then an external rtH resistor should be connected between lOstH pin and VCC. Desired threshold value can be obtained by changing the value of the resistor rtH as shown in the figures below.

Automatic Output Disable
the HmC914lp4e has two different disable features; one is manual and other is automatic. DisaBle pin provides manual control over the output. DisaBle pin is a CmOs input and active “low”. there is an integrated pull-up resistor to VCC at this input. if logic low is applied to this input, differential data outputs Qp / Qn are forced to VCC ensuring that no signal. if this input is left floating or logic high is applied then data outputs are enabled. Disable supply current when DisaBle=0 is 32ma. automatic disable mode is activated by aODWnenB CmOs input. this input is active “low”. to activate the automatic output disable mode logic “0” should be applied. When it is activated and if the input signal is below than the programmed loss threshold, differential outputs automatically goes to VCC and disabled. Outputs start toggling for normal operation when the input signal returns to its desired swing level. Disable supply current when aODWnenB =0 is 40ma.
