+2.97V to +5.5V, 125Mbps to 200Mbps Limiting
Amplifier with Loss-of-Signal Detector
_______________________________________________________________________________________

Note 1: Between sensitivity and overload, the output amplitude is >95% of the fully limited amplitude and all AC specifications are met.
Note 2: Guaranteed by design and characterization.
Note 3: Noise is derived from BER measurement.
Note 4: The data input transition time is controlled by a 4th-order Bessel filter with f
-3dB
= 0.75
× data rate.
Note 5: PWD = [(width of wider pulse) - (width of narrower pulse)] / 2, measured with 155Mbps 0011 pattern.
Note 6: All LOS specifications are measured using a 155Mbps 2
23
- 1 PRBS pattern.
Note 7: The signal at the input is switched between two amplitudes, SIGNAL_ON and SIGNAL_OFF, as shown in Figure 1.
