5 / 10 page Detailed Description and Applications Information Figure 1 is a functional diagram of the MAX3971 limit- ing amplifier.The signal path consists of an input buffer followed by a gain stage and output amplifier. A feed- back loop provides offset correction by driving the average value of the differential output to zero. Gain Stage and Offset Correction The limiting amplifier provides approximately 50dB gain. This large gain makes the amplifier susceptible to small DC offsets, which cause deterministic jitter. A low-frequency loop is integrated into the limiting amplifier to reduce output offset, typically to less than 2mV. The external capacitor CZ is required to set the low-fre- quency cutoff for the offset correction loop and for sta- bility. The time constant of the loop is set by the product of an equivalent 20k Ω on-chip resistor and the value of the off-chip capacitor, CZ. For stable opera- tion, the minimum value of CZ is 0.01µF. To minimize pattern-dependent jitter, CZ should be as large as pos- sible. For 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications, the typical value of CZ is 0.1µF. Keep CZ as close to the package as possible. CML Input Circuit The input buffer is designed to accept CML input sig- nals such as the output from the MAX3970 transimped- ance amplifier. An equivalent circuit for the input is shown in Figure 2. DC-coupling the inputs is not recom- mended because doing so prevents the part’s offset correction circuitry from working properly. Thus, AC- coupling capacitors are required on the input. CML Output Circuit An equivalent circuit for the output network is shown in Figure 3. It consists of two 50 Ω resistors connected to VCC driven by the collectors of an output differential transistor pair (Q1 and Q2). The differential output sig- nals are clamped by transistors Q3 and Q4 when the DISABLE input is high. Disable Function A logic signal can be applied to the DISABLE pin to squelch the output signal. When the output is disabled, an offset is added to the output, preventing the follow- ing stage from oscillating (if DC-coupled). +3.3V, 10.3Gbps Limiting Amplifier _______________________________________________________________________________________ 5 MAX3971 CZ- CZ+ LOWPASS FILTER CZ OFFSET CORRECTION AMP INPUT AMPLIFIER GAIN 50dB OUTPUT AMPLIFIER OUT+ OUT- IN+ GNDIN+ GNDIN- IN- DISABLE Figure 1.
