Description
SiGe Semiconductor offers a portfolio of optical networking ICs for use in high-performance optical transmitter and receiver functions, from 155 Mb/s up to 12.5 Gb/s.
Features
- single-ended or differential outputs, selectable by wire bond options, and incorporates an automatic gain control mechanism to increase dynamic range, allowing input signals up to 2.6 mA peak. For differential outputs, a decoupling capacitor on the supply is the only external circuitry required. Noise performance is optimized for 155 Mb/s operation, with a calculated rms noise based -10 sensitivity of.
- 41 dBm for 10 bit error rate, achieved using a detector with 0.5 pF capacitance and a.
