NT24L73-MSOP

Overview

The NT24L73 is a 1.25Gbps CMOS limiting amplifier featuring CML data outputs and signal status indicators, housed in an MSOP package. It operates on a 3.3V supply with a gain of 46dB and a bandwidth of 0.938GHz. The device exhibits a noise figure of 300uV and is designed for OC-3, OC-12, and Gigabit Ethernet applications.

Feature Summary

• CMOS architecture providing low power consumption
• CML data outputs for high-speed signaling compatibility
• Integrated signal status monitoring capability

Applications

• OC-3 optical fiber applications
• OC-12 optical fiber applications
• Gigabit Ethernet systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm package type and compliance status. Ensure the component matches the required MSOP footprint and pinout configuration for your design. Confirm that the 3.3V supply voltage aligns with your system requirements before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1.25Gbps limiting amplifier with CML outputs is required. Consider its 46dB gain and 300uV noise figure for signal integrity needs. Verify compatibility with OC-3/OC-12 standards and Gigabit Ethernet protocols during the design phase.
