Description
This optical receiver is a 3.3V device which contains a
PIN photodiode and a low noise transimpedance
amplifier assembled in a TO-46 package. It is designed
for OC-3/STM-1 operation. Its optical system is
designed for single mode fiber as well as for multi
mode fiber with a core diameter up to 62.5m.
Reliability Assurance based on Telcordia GR-468-
CORE.

Application Guidelines
ESD Handling
The receiver is sensitive to electrostatic discharges. When handling the device, precaution for ESD sensitive
devices should be taken. These precautions include use of ESD protected work area with wrist straps, controlled
work benches, floors etc.
Power Supply Filter
Power Supply decoupling capacitors are recommended for optimal performance of the receiver. A filter is
recommended to minimise power supply noise. see Figure 7.

Data Outputs
Outputs, Data and Data, need to be AC-coupled according to Figure 8. The capacitor determines the low-frequency
cut-off for the system.
For improved sensitivity the optional filter capacitor C
F
should be chosen to constitute a 0.75*bit rate BW filter.
