The MAX3910 is a 10.7Gbps transimpedance amplifier designed for SONET OC-192/SDH STM-64, DWDM, and 10Gbps systems employing optical amplifiers. Operating from a single +5V or -5.2V supply, it converts a photodiode current into a measurable differential voltage. This product has a linear gain for an input current up to 950AP-P and a soft-limiting feature that provides an increasing output swing for an input current up to the 3.5mAP-P overload. An offset adjust circuit and output-level monitors allow system threshold adjustments. Additional features include back-terminated 50 outputs and an integrated 200 filter resistor to bias the photodiode.
