PALO ALTO, USA: GigOptix Inc., a leading supplier of high performance electronic and electro-optic components that enable next generation 40G and 100G optical networks, today announced the availability for sampling of its new GX62455, a quad channel 7.5Vpp Mach-Zenhder Modulator (MZM) driver designed for 100G DP-QPSK long haul optical transmitters.
GigOptix’ GX62455 is a high voltage output, 32Gb/s quad MZM driver in a compact form factor (25x32mm) GPPO module that includes integrated low and high frequency chokes and requires no external components for fast and easy application. The connectors on the GX62455 have been designed to be form factor compatible with industry leading 100G multiplexer and modulators for easier system integration.
Key features of the GX62455 include:
* Data rate up to 32Gb/s per lane for 100G DP-QPSK applications.
* Low RMS jitter.
* Adjustable single ended Vout to 7.5Vpp.
* Adjustable eye cross point.
* Wide range of Input Voltage levels.
* Typical power consumption: 6W@Vout=7.5Vpp.
“We are ramping production of our first generation 100G driver and have now extended our offering with the GX62455 to support the higher output voltage of 7.5V while maintaining industry leading power consumption within the market’s smallest footprint,” stated Padraig O’Mathuna, VP of GigOptix.
“This MZM driver in conjunction with our current 100G GX3222 Transimpedance Amplifier (TIA) offers customers a one-stop-shop for 100G DP-QPSK applications and we intend to further develop system ‘bundles’ consisting of a driver and a TIA with future modulators that are tailored for specific DWDM applications. We are very excited to provide a complete physical layer solution to enable our customers to not only achieve optimal system performance with the smallest size but also the lowest power with the most cost competitive solution available in the market.”
In a most recent report on 100G components, Ovum forecasted that the 100G DWDM lineside market would launch in 2010 and grow to over 16,000 units by 2015 with a CAGR of 140 percent.
