Macom is in volume production of a transimpedance amplifier for GPON ONU equipment.
Macom’s M02027 enables GPON receivers to use lower cost PIN photodiodes while offering performance margin in the GPON BOSA-on-board environment, the company says.
The device is claimed to deliver ultra high sensitivity with PIN photodiodes and wide dynamic operating range while offering a ‘best-in-class’ power dissipation.
The M02027 is targeted toward GPON ONU, SONET, CPRI basestation and SFF/SFP module applications. It supports data rates between 100Mbps and 3.125Gbps with wire bonding flexibility and a single supply of 3.3V.
It has an output data polarity invert function and output average photodiode current for photo-alignment and receiver signal strength indicator (RSSI) average power monitoring.
“The new GPON ONU TIA offers superior optical sensitivity and overload performance with low cost PIN photodiode at best in class power dissipation,” said Angus Lai, Director of Product Marketing, High-Performance Analog at Macom.
“We believe the M02027 offers a competitive cost-performance ratio and enables our customers to tackle fast growing GPON deployments.”
