The LG1602 is a gallium arsenide (GaAs) decision circuit. It features a sensitive broadband input amplifier and a D-type flip-flop that retimes and regenerates an input data stream that is weakened by noise, jitter, and intersymbol interference. The LG1602 has complementary 50 output buffers. dc feedback ensures input threshold control for input levels as low as 25 mV, when using dc balanced input data. The LG1602 is available in a hermetically sealed 16-lead glass-metal surface-mount package.
