SY84403BL
Ultra Small 3.3V 4.25Gbps CML Low-Power
Limiting Post Amplifier with TTL LOS
General Description
The SY84403BL is the industry’s smallest limiting post
amplifier ideal for compact copper and fiber optic
module applications. The device connects to typical
transimpedance amplifiers (TIAs). The linear signal
output from TIAs can contain significant amounts of
noise and may vary in amplitude over time. The
SY84403BL quantizes these signals and outputs
typically 800mV
PP
voltage-limited waveforms.
®
The SY84403BL comes in a tiny 10-pin 2x2 MLF
package, which is unparalleled in the industry. It offers
space savings of 55% or more over typical post amps.
It operates from a single +3.3V ±10% power supply,
over an industrial temperature range of –40°C to
+85°C. With its wide bandwidth and high gain, signals
with data rates up to 4.25Gbps and as small as
10mV
PP
can be amplified to drive devices with CML
inputs or AC-coupled PECL inputs.
The SY84403BL incorporates a loss-of-signal (LOS)
open-collector TTL output with internal 4.75kΩ pull-up
resistor. A programmable loss-of-signal level set pin
(LOSLVL) sets the sensitivity of the input amplitude
detection. LOS asserts high if the input amplitude falls
below the threshold set by LOSLVL and de-asserts
low otherwise. LOS can be fed back to the enable bar
(/EN) input to maintain output stability under a loss of
signal condition. /EN de-asserts the true output signal
without removing the input signal.

Notes:
1. Permanent device damage may occur if ratings in the absolute maximum ratings section are exceeded. This is a stress rating only and
functional operation is not implied for conditions other than those detailed in the operational sections of this data sheet. Exposure to absolute
maximum ratings conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
2. The data sheet limits are not guaranteed if the device is operated beyond the operating ratings.
3. Thermal performance assumes are of 4-layer PCB. Exposed pad must be soldered (or equivalent) to the device's most negative potential on
the PCB.
4. Excludes current of CML output stage. See “Detailed Description.”
5. Total device current with no output load.
6. If the load impedance is different, the output level will be changed. Amplifier is in limiting mode.

11. See “Typical Operating Characteristics” for a graph showing how to choose a particular R
LOSLVL
for a particular LOS assert and its associated
de-assert amplitude.
12. This specification defines electrical hysteresis as 20log(LOS De-assert/LOS Assert). The ratio between optical hysteresis and electrical
hysteresis is found to vary between 1.5 and 2 depending on the level of received optical power and ROSA characteristics. Based on that
ratio, the optical hysteresis corresponding to the electrical hysteresis range 2dB-4.5 dB shown in the AC characteristics table will be 0.5dB-
3dB Optical Hysteresis.
