7 / 13 page Detailed Description Figure 1 is a functional diagram of the MAX3861 auto- matic gain-control amplifier. The MAX3861 is divided into three sections: main signal path, input signal detection, and output signal detection. Main Signal Path The main signal path consists of variable gain ampli- fiers with CML output levels and an offset cancellation loop. This configuration allows for overall gains ranging from -9.5dB to 43.5dB. Offset-Cancellation Loop The offset-cancellation loop partially reduces additional offset at the input. In communications systems using NRZ data with a 50% duty cycle, pulse-width distortion present in the signal or generated by the transimped- ance amplifier appears as input offset and is partially removed by the offset cancellation loop. An external capacitor is required between CZ+ and CZ- to com- pensate the offset cancellation loop and determine the lower 3dB frequency of the signal path. Input Signal Detection and SD Circuitry The input signal detection circuitry consists of variable gain amplifiers and threshold voltages. Input signal detection information is compared to an internal refer- ence and creates the RSSI voltage and an internal ref- erence signal. The signal detect (SD) circuitry indicates when the input signal is below the programmed thresh- old by comparing a voltage proportional to the RSSI signal with internally generated control voltages. The SD threshold is set by a control voltage developed across the external TH resistor (RTH). Two control volt- ages, VASSERT and VDEASSERT, define the signal detect assert and deassert levels. To prevent SD chat- ter in the region of the programmed threshold, 2.8dB to 6.3dB of hysteresis is built into the SD assert/deassert function and thus, once asserted, SD is not deasserted until sufficient gain is retained. When input signal detection (SD and RSSI) is not required, tie EN to a TTL low to power-down this circuitry. Output Signal Monitor and Amplitude Control Output amplitude typically can be adjusted from 400mVP-P to 920mVP-P by applying a control voltage (0V to 2.0V) to the SC pin. See Output Signal Amplitude vs. SC Pin Voltage in the Typical Operating Characteristics. Connect the VREF pin (2.0V) to the SC pin for maximum output amplitude. The output signal monitor pin provides a DC voltage that is linearly pro- portional to the output signal. Design Procedure Program the SD Threshold The SD threshold is programmed by an external resis- tor, RTH, between the range of 2mVP-P to 100mVP-P. The circuit is designed to have approximately 4.5dB of hysteresis over the full range. See Signal Detect Threshold vs. RTH graph in the Typical Operating Characteristics for proper sizing. 2.7Gbps Post Amp with Automatic Gain Control _______________________________________________________________________________________ 7 VCC MAIN SIGNAL PATH CONTROL BLOCK AND OUTPUT SIGNAL DETECT CZ+ CZ- OUT+ OUT- OSM SC VREF SD CG+ CG- SD CIRCUITRY GND RTH TH EN CD- RSSI CD+ IN- IN+ MAX3861 Figure 1.
