Mindspeed demos fiber-optic component family

OFC/NFOEC 2010, NEWPORT BEACH, USA: Mindspeed Technologies Inc., a leading supplier of semiconductor solutions for network infrastructure applications, is demonstrating its broad family of fiber-optic components at OFC/NFOEC 2010.

Mindspeed’s M02098 programmable burst-mode laser driver includes an integrated limiting amplifier, analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and digital-to-analog converter (DAC), and joins the company’s growing family of physical media devices (PMDs) for a comprehensive range of xPON FTTx applications.

Like its highly popular predecessor, the M02090 device, the M02098 driver incorporates the company’s proven dual closed-loop Eye-Minder technology for real-time monitoring and compensation for laser aging and temperature effects to reduce production testing requirements and lower overall optical network terminal (ONT) system costs.

The M02098 driver can be implemented in a small form factor (SFF) or small form factor pluggable (SFP) optical transceiver, or with a bi-directional optical sub-assembly (BOSA) that can be mounted directly onto the ONT board to significantly reduce overall bill-of-material (BOM) costs in Gigabit PON (GPON), Gigabit Ethernet PON (GEPON) and other xPON applications. Mindspeed will be demonstrating the M02098 driver’s proven dual closed-loop configuration along with its latest high-performance transimpedance amplifier (TIA) at OFC/NFOEC 2010.

Mindspeed will be featuring its symmetric 10G-EPON optical network unit (ONU) and optical line terminal (OLT) chipset at OFC/NFOEC 2010, which includes the low-power M02170 direct-modulated laser (DML) driver, M02172 low-power electroabsorption modulated laser (EML) driver and M02142 multi-datarate post-amplifier, which are designed in small form factor pluggable (XFP) module reference design operating at 10Gbps in both the downstream and upstream directions in support of the latest 10G-EPON specifications.

Mindspeed will also highlight its Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI) optical PMD chipset, which fully supports the latest CPRI V4.1 2009-02-18 specification and is optimized for 4.915Gbps and 6.144Gbps operation with lower power consumption compared to traditional 10Gbps PMD chipsets.

The receiver solution includes the M02020 transimpedance amplifier (TIA) combined with the M02049 limiting amplifier, optimized for 4.915 Gigabits/second (Gbps) or the M02129 TIA, combined with the M02142 limiting amplifier for 6.144Gbps. The limiting amplifiers each feature selectable bandwidth for optimal receiver sensitivity across CPRI rates.

On the transmit side, Mindspeed’s CPRI optical PMD solutions include up to 6.2Gbps M02061 laser driver for long-wave laser diodes and the M02069 driver for short-wave vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs).
