Other Parts Discussed in Thread: THS4551, TLV3541
Hello,
do you have a recommendation for a coax amplifier at MPO0/MPO1?
Thank you very much,
Simon

Hello Collin,
I am looking for a coax output at the Ports MPO0/MPO1. They can be used as SPDIF outputs, but I want to use them as coax outputs - so I will need an amplifier.
Do you have any recommendations for this purpose?
Best regards,
Simon
Hi Simon,
If you want to transmit the signal differentially then you may consider a fully-differential amplifier like the THS4551 to do the singled-ended to differential conversion and provide the power gain you need.
If you plan to transmit single-ended then you might consider a device like the TLV3541 which offers rail-to-rail inputs and outputs and a drive current of +/-100mA.
There are many amplifiers that would likely suit your needs fine but I think these two offer a good starting point and we have TINA/pSpice models available for them so you can verify your circuit performance before building a pcb. Hope this helps!
Best,
Zak
