Kits accelerate fibre-optic module design
A new range of reference design kits aims to simplify the implementation of 1-4Gbit/s SFP fibre optic modules for Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel and Sonet/SDH applications.
Driver receiver ICs cut laser modules down to size
New monolithic laser and VCSEL driver/receivers from Phyworks replace two devices in a standard SFF/SFP optical module.
Phyworks reduces design effort costs by providing a fully integrated and supported solution.
The PHY1092 is optimised for Gigabit Ethernet and FTTx ONU applications up to 1.25Gbit/s, with a typical sensitivity of -29dBm at 1310nm.
The PHY1093 functions optimally for applications up to 3Gbit/s, making it ideal for Sonet multirate modules up to OC48.
It features an input sensitivity of -25dBm at 2.488Gbit/s and an input overload of 3mA peak-peak.
The PHY1094 is designed for applications from 1 to 4.25Gbit/s, making it ideal for multirate SFP modules for 1x, 2x, 4x Fibre Channel applications.
It has a bandwidth of 3.2GHz and a typical sensitivity of -21dBm at 850nm.
Each of the TIAs combines a high-sensitivity input stage with an output AGC amplifier to give a wide useable dynamic range, for DWDM or electronic dispersion compensation applications.
They are designed to interface with Phyworks' integrated PHY1070 and PHY1075 155Mbit/s-4Gbit/s driver/receiver products, which are in volume production.
Volume pricing is as low as $0.50 for the PHY1092, $0.60 for the PHY1093 and $0.70 for the PHY1094.
Samples of the entire family are available now, with volume production scheduled for April 2005.
According to Phyworks CEO, Stephen King: "Being able to offer the entire chipset enables us to improve overall system performance and deliver to our customers significant cost benefits, while at the same time offering the added convenience of working with just one expert supplier".
"ROSA manufacturers using our TIAs will be able to take advantage of our experience and systems expertise in the optical market".
