Microcosm - invalid (Microcosm Communications Ltd. ) : MC2044

Amplifier for Fiber Optics

The MC2044 is an integrated, high gain limiting amplifier intended for high speed fiberoptics based communications. Normally placed following the photodetector and transimpedance or pre-amplifier, the limiting amplifier provides the necessary gain to give ECL compatible logic outputs.The MC2044 also includes a programmable signal-leveldetector, allowing the user to set thresholds at which the logicoutputs are enabled.Features include

• Low-cost IC, available as die or in SO16 package.
• Fabricated in advanced sub-micron BiCMOS process.
• Very wide range of operation; suitable for e.g.100, 155, 266, 532, 622Mbps.
• Pin-compatible, superior replacement for SigneticsSA5224/5.
• Programmable input-signal level detect
• Fully differential
• Operates with standard +5Volt or ECL supplies.
• 3Volts operation option.
