Stresses beyond those listed under "Absolute Maximum Ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

The MAX3262 limiting amplifier with its high gain and wide bandwidth is ideal for use as a post amplifier in fiber-optic receivers with data rates up to 1Gbps. The amplifier's gain can be adjusted between 33dB and 48dB. At maximum gain, signals as small as 6mVp-p can be amplified to drive devices with PECL inputs.

The MAX3262 has complementary loss-of-signal outputs for interfacing with open-fiber-control (OFC) circuitry.These outputs can be programmed to assert with input levels between 9mVp-p and 48mVp-p. LOS hysteresis for any programmed level is nominally 3.0dB, preserving a balance between noise immunity and dynamic range.
