Core trio boosts SoC platform
Oki Electric has enhanced its uPLAT series of integrated platforms, which lower development times of SoC LSIs, with the introduction of three core products.
More power from laser modules for WDM systems
Oki Electric has developed a trio of high-power 1480nm pump laser diode modules for WDM (wavelength division multiplexing) optical transmission.
"10Gbit/s optical communication modules are becoming pluggable, which makes it easy to attach and remove them from the connector".
"Because of this trend, smaller and lower power consumption optical and electronic components are required by our customers", said Masayuki Tsuboi, President of Optical Components Company at Oki Electric.
"Responding to such needs and maximising Oki's advanced technologies, we succeeded in developing the world's smallest 10Gbit/s optical modulator".
Compared with conventional modules that operate on a power supply of -5.2V, Oki's newly developed KGL4195KD is a 10Gbit/s optical modulator driver IC that operates at +3.3V, giving customers a lower voltage drive and lower power consumption module.
While maintaining Oki's high-quality wave-type driver IC, Oki reduced power consumption by 35% compared with conventional ICs by optimising circuit design in the low voltage power supply.
Oki succeeded in developing a modulator consuming just 0.65W, the lowest power consumption in the world.
By using a 4 x 4mm small ceramic package, the footprint is also the world's smallest.
By using this product, users can produce smaller and lower power consumption 10Gbit/s pluggable modules such as for XFP, X2 and Xenpak.
Using Oki's advanced electronic device technologies in high-speed and high voltage processing and targeting the 10Gbit/s optical communication market that is expected to grow, Oki aims sales of 20 billion yen for this chip after the fiscal year ending March 2006.
