The MAX3654 analog transimpedance amplifier (TIA) is designed for CATV applications in fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) networks. This high-linearity amplifier is intended for 47MHz to 870MHz subcarrier multiplexed (SCM) signals in passive optical networks (PON). A gain-control input supports AGC operation with optical inputs having -6dBm to +2dBm average power. With 62dB maximum gain at 47MHz and 18dB gain control range, the minimum RF output level is 14dBmV/channel at -6dBm optical input. A compact 4mm x 4mm package includes all of the active RF circuitry required to convert analog PIN photocurrent to a 75 CATV output.
