Key Featrues

Pin Compatibility with Mindspeed MC2045-2/MC2045-2Y: This feature ensures seamless integration with existing systems designed for Mindspeed MC2045-2 and MC2045-2Y postamplifiers, reducing redesign efforts and improving compatibility in applications like optical receivers and data quantizers.
500µV Input Sensitivity (BER = 10⁻¹²): The amplifier's high sensitivity allows it to detect and amplify extremely weak signals accurately, enhancing performance in low-signal environments such as long-distance optical communication or high-speed data transmission.
Programmable Loss-of-Signal (LOS) Threshold: This feature enables users to customize the LOS detection level, ensuring reliable signal monitoring and improved system stability in varying operating conditions, such as FTTx or SONET receivers.
Single +3.3V or +5.0V Power Supply: The ability to operate on either 3.3V or 5.0V power supplies provides flexibility in system design, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including Fast Ethernet and FDDI receivers.
Output Disable Function and Automatic Squelch: These features allow the amplifier to disable its output when no valid signal is detected, reducing noise and power consumption in idle states, which is particularly beneficial for energy-efficient systems and portable devices.
