The MAX3272/MAX3272A 2.5Gbps limiting amplifiers
accept a wide range of input voltages and provide a
constant-level output voltage with controlled edge
speeds. Additional features include power detectors
with programmable loss-of-signal (LOS) indication, an
optional squelch function that mutes the data output signal
when the input voltage falls below a programmable
threshold, and an output polarity selector. These parts
exhibit excellent jitter performance and have low power
dissipation.
The MAX3272/MAX3272A feature current-mode logic
(CML) data outputs that are tolerant of inductive connectors,
and are available in a 4mm ? 4mm QFN package
or in die form (MAX3272 only). Along with the
MAX3271, the MAX3272/MAX3272A are ideal for lowpower,
compact optical receivers.
