Rev. 03 — 07 October 1998 1. Description The SA5211 is a 28 k transimpedance, wide-band, low noise amplifier with differential outputs, particularly suitable for signal recovery in fiber optic receivers. The part is ideally suited for many other RF applications as a general purpose gain block.
The maximum input current before output stage clipping occurs at typically 50 A. The SA5211 is a bipolar transimpedance amplifier which is current driven at the input and generates a differential voltage signal at the outputs.

15. Application information Package parasitics, particularly ground lead inductances and parasitic capacitances, can significantly degrade the frequency response. Since the SA5211 has differential outputs which can feed back signals to the input by parasitic package or board layout capacitances, both peaking and attenuating type frequency response shaping is possible.

100% functionality through this process. There is no post waffle pack testing performed on individual die. Since Philips Semiconductors has no control of third party procedures in the handling or packaging of die, Philips Semiconductors assumes no liability for device functionality or performance of the die or systems on any die sales.
Product specification; third version; supersedes second version SA5211_2 of 1998 Oct 07 (9397 750 04624). Modifications: The format of this specification has been redesigned to comply with Philips Semiconductors’ new presentation and information standard.
