Input Amplifier/Buffer
input stage. The high-sensitivity of the input amplifier allows
signals as small as 5mVp-p to be detected and amplified.
The input amplifier allows input signals as large as 1800mVp-
p. Input signals are linearly amplified with a typically 28dB
differential voltage gain. Since it is a limiting amplifier, the
SY88953L outputs typically 800mV
waveforms for input signals that are greater than 32mVp-p.
Applications requiring the SY88953L to operate with high-
gain should have the upstream TIA placed as close as possible
to the SY88953L’s input pins to ensure the best performance
of the device.
Threshold Adjustment
an offset at either input using V
one of the inputs is required to be adjusted, depending on
the required direction of the pulse width adjustment. The
SY88953L implements current source based offset control
of the inputs. “Typical Operating Characteristics” shows the
offset applied to the input for a given V
feature is disabled by simply setting V
Output Buffer
50Ω lines. The output buffer requires appropriate termination
for proper operation. An external 50Ω resistor to V
each output pin provides this. Figure 3 shows a simplified
schematic of the output stage and includes an appropriate
termination method. Of course, driving a downstream device
that is internally terminated with 50Ω to V
need for external termination. As noted in the previous
section, the amplifier outputs typically 800mVp-p waveforms
across 25Ω total loads. The output buffer thus switches
typically 16mA tail-current.

resistors as shown in Figure 4. SD is used to determine that
the input amplitude is large enough to be considered a valid
input. SD asserts high if the input amplitude rises above the

removing the input signals. Typically 6dB SD hysteresis is
provided to prevent chattering.

hysteresis. By definition, a power ratio measured in dB is
10log(power ratio). Power is calculated as V
electrical signal. Hence the same ratio can be stated as
20log(voltage ratio). While in linear mode, the electrical
voltage input changes linearly with the optical power and
hence the ratios change linearly. Therefore, the optical
hysteresis in dB is half the electrical hysteresis in dB given
in the datasheet. The SY88953L provides typically 3dB SD
optical hysteresis. As the SY88953L is an electrical device,
this datasheet refers to hysteresis in electrical terms. With
6dB SD hysteresis, a voltage factor of two is required to
assert or deassert SD.
