The Si4300 is billed as the industry's first monolithic CMOS power amplifier (PA) for GSM cellular applications.
MCU incorporates high-resolution conversion
The C8051F350 is precision mixed-signal microcontroller that integrates an eight-channel, 24bit ADC with a high-speed 8051-compatible CPU.
"Photonic Bridges is leveraging the latest advances in semiconductor technology to deliver innovative, cost-effective solutions for the metro optical market", said Pang Ran, Product Director at Photonic Bridges.
"Silicon Laboratories' transceiver and clock solutions offer market-leading jitter performance and integration, enabling us to improve system performance, reduce production costs and achieve a faster time to market for our MetroWave product family".
"Silicon Laboratories' investment in jitter management has resulted in a unique portfolio of ultra-low-jitter clock and transceiver ICs that simplify the design of high-speed optical networking equipment", said Brad Fluke, Vice President of Silicon Laboratories.
"This performance advantage helps our customers, like Photonic Bridges, exceed the demanding requirements of today's optical networks".
The Si5100 is the industry's only OC-48/STM-16 transceiver incorporating a jitter-attenuating clock multiplier unit with selectable loop filter bandwidths.
This feature enables the industry's best jitter performance without requiring expensive external jitter reduction circuitry.
Combined with the small size, low power and temperature stability of all Silicon Laboratories' transceiver products, the Si5100 is an optimal solution for high-speed networking applications.
To further simplify its system design, Photonic Bridges also chose the Si5310 as a small, reduced cost Sonet/SDH clock multiplier.
