Ommic has added two new products to its family of optical interfacing circuits working up to 10.7Gbit/s.

Ommic has added two new products to its family of optical interfacing circuits working up to 10.7Gbit/s These products offer improved overall performance and are well suited to the ever more demanding specifications required by 10Gbit/s optical systems

The CGY2115 is available as a bare die (CGY2115UH) or in a small profile QFN16 plastic package (CGY2115HV) and is designed to drive an electro-absorption modulator (EAM) at speeds up to 10.7Gbit/s.

The bare die version has a rise time of 19ps and a fall time of 14ps and the packaged device has excellent rise time and fall times of 27 and 24ps, respectively.

The devices have on chip biasing networks, voltage offset controls and crosspoint controls to enable easy interfacing to the EAM.

The circuit operates from a single -5.2V supply and delivers up to 3V peak-peak voltage swing and a 1V bias offset to the EAM.

The CGY2116UH is a very high performance transimpedance amplifier (TIA) for 10.7Gbit/s and completes Ommic's family of interface products for fibre-optic communications.

It combines an exceptional sensitivity of -22dBm with on chip AGC to provide a high input overload of better than 2.5mA.

This new product has a bandwidth of 9.5GHz, a high differential transimpedance gain of 74dBW and a group delay of less than +/-25ps up to 10GHz.

The power consumption is typically 400mW from a single +5V supply.

Both devices are fabricated using Ommic's space qualified 180nm enhancement-depletion mode PHEMT technology.

Samples and datasheets are available on request.
