iT3018 Datasheet (Iterra) - 12.5 Gb/s high-gain receive limiter amplifier

iT3018, 12.5 Gb/s high-gain receive limiter amplifier

The iT3018 is a limiting amplifier for use as a post amplifier in OC-192 and STM-64 optical receivers.

Differential signals as small as +/-6 mVpp can be amplified to 2.2 Vpp differential.

The device includes offset correction and output voltage control.

Both AC and DC coupling are allowed at both in
