Transceiver is first for new MOST
specification
The MLX75605 transceiver combines a 650nm light source, a 150Mbit/s driver IC and a 150Mbit/s monolithic receiver IC.
Hot on the heels of the publication of the latest revision to the MOST Specification, Melexis has released details of a single-package 150Mbit/s fibre-optic transceiver for the newly introduced MOST150 physical layer According to Piet De Pauw, Manager of Melexis' Business Unit Optical Data Communication: "With the introduction of these innovative fibre transceivers, we are strengthening Melexis' leading position in optoelectronic ICs for automotive applications"

Melexis has developed a new programmable single chip CMOS LED driver for high-power (1W) LEDs.
PLL-based transmitters shrink into MLPs
A new range of low-power radio transmitter chips covering frequencies from 300 to 930MHz are the first devices of their type to be produced in the very tiny micro leadframe package.
"We are proud we are amongst the first to develop a 150Mbit/s MOST".
"In addition, by offering this fibre optic transceiver in a real SMD package, we are offering a solution, which reduces significantly the cost of ownership for our customers".
The MLX75605 transceiver combines a 650nm light source, a 150Mbit/s driver IC and a 150Mbit/s monolithic receiver IC.
The LED driver IC includes calibration circuitry for trimming the transmitter light output.
This maintains the light output within a narrow range over the entire -40 to +95C temperature range required for automotive infotainment networks.
The receiver combines a PIN photodiode, TIA and end amplifiers integrated on a single die, which enables best in class immunity against electromagnetic disturbances.
The MLX75605 is packaged using innovative technology developed specifically for automotive optoelectronic ICs.
The 24-pin SOIC package can be handled by conventional SMD pick and place machines and is fully compliant with lead-free reflow SMD soldering processes.
The monolithic receiver IC and the LED driver IC are also available in die form as the MLX75603 and MLX75604.
