Start with the news release
Linear launches low voltage hot swap controller from
Linear Technology Corp, which we summarised at the time by saying "Linear Technology has introduced the LTC4224, a compact, low voltage hot swap controller for protecting boards and backplanes that use two 1V to 6V voltage supplies.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release FTTx helps drive transmission module market from
CIR: "The market for telecomms and datacomms transmission modules is predicted to reach US $13.4 billion by 2012.".
In March 2007, we covered the news from Finisar Corp
- take a look at 10 million optical transceivers shipped in a year
which says: "Finisar shipped 10 million optical transceivers/transponders shipped in calendar year 2006, up nearly 30% over the previous year.".
Take a look also at the news release from Finisar Corp, Finisar and Infineon thrash out revised deal,
as well as Transceivers bring copper up to speed from Analogix Semiconductor,
and Standardised transceivers speed convergence from Bookham.
