PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The ADN2880 is a compact, high performance 3.3 V power
supply SiGe transimpedance amplifier (TIA) optimized for
small-form-factor pluggable (SFP) optical receivers, up to
3.2 Gbps SFF/SPF optical receivers, and meets OC48 SR/IR
sensitivity requirements. The ADN2880 is a single-chip
solution for detecting photodiode current with a differential
output voltage. The ADN2880 features low input referred
noise current of 400 nA enabling −24 dBm sensitivity; 2.1
GHz minimum BW enables up to 3.2 Gbps operation; +3.25
dBm nominal operation at 10 dB extinction ratio. RSSI
output signal proportional to average input current is
available for monitoring and alarm generation. To facilitate
assembly in small form factor packages such as a TO-46 or
TO-56 header, the ADN2880 integrates the photodiode filter
network on chip and features 20 kHz low frequency cutoff
without any external components. The ADN2880 chip area
is less than 1 mm2, operates with a 3.3 V power supply and is
available in die form.

Stresses above those listed under ‘Absolute Maximum Rating’
may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only and functional operation of the device at these or
any other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.
ESD CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on the
human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features
proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy
electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance
degradation or loss of functionality.
