The MAX3970 is a compact, low-power transimpedance amplifier (TIA) optimized for use in 10Gbps optical receivers. The TIA provides transimpedance at 600V/A with 50Ω differential CML outputs. The MAX3970 has a typical input-referred noise of 1.1µA, and when coupled with a high-speed photodiode, achieves -18dBm sensitivity and +2mA input overload. A received-signal strength indicator (RSSI) simplifies optical assembly. The circuit operates from a single 3.3V supply over a junction temperature range from 0°C to +110°C.
