Product Description
SiGe Semiconductor offers a portfolio of optical networking ICs for use in high-performance optical transmitter and receiver functions, from 155 Mb/s up to 12.5 Gb/s.

Features
◾ Single +5 V power supply
◾ Power dissipation = 430 mW (typ)
◾ Input noise current = 1.4 mA rms when used with a 0.2 pF detector
◾ Transimpedance gain = 1.2 kW into a 50 W load (differential)
◾ Input current overload = 2.3 mA pk (+1.1 dBm for 0.9 A/W responsivity - meets 10 Gigabit Ethernet specification)
◾ Wide linear dynamic range of 17 dB (typ)
◾ 50 W single-ended or 100 W differential wire bond selectable outputs
◾ Bandwidth (-3 dB) = 9.8 GHz
◾ Operates at OC-192 / STM-64 up to 10.7 Gb/s NRZ rates
◾ Power supply rejection for both single ended and differential modes of operation
◾ Optimized for PIN photodetectors
◾ Minimal external components, supply decoupling only
◾ Operating junction temperature range = -40°C to +100°C
◾ Equivalent to Nortel Networks AE99

Applications
◾ SONET/SDH-based transmission systems, test equipment and modules
◾ OC-192 fibre optic modules and line termination
◾ 10 Gigabit Ethernet
◾ Fibre Channel
◾ Serial data systems up to 10.7 Gb/s
