The MAX3645EEE+T is a +2.97V to +5.5V, 125Mbps to 200Mbps limiting amplifier with loss of signal detector in 16 pin QSOP package. The limiting amplifier functions as a data quantizer and is pin compatible with the Mindspeed MC2045-2 and MC2045-2Y post amplifiers. The amplifier accepts a wide range of input voltages and provides constant-level positive emitter-coupled logic (PECL) output voltages with controlled edge speeds. The MAX3645 features an integrated power detector with complementary PECL loss of signal (LOS) outputs that indicate when the input power level drops below a programmable threshold. An optional squelch function holds the data outputs at static levels during a LOS condition.
