100 Gb Ethernet (4 x 25 Gb/s) Quad PIN-TIA Optical Receiver

Description:

The DSC-R801 is a four-element “Quad” PIN + Transimpedance + Limiting amplifier ideally suited for digital applications such as 100 Gb Ethernet (LR & ER). The high responsivity of Discovery’s photodiode at both 1310nm and 1550nm results in a high single-ended conversion gain of 550 V/W and a high sensitivity of -12 dBm. The R801 also offers a high optical overload of +4 dBm and a very low power dissipation of 200 mW per channel. The R801 is initially available with GPPO RF output connectors, however SMT and differential outputs shall also be available.

Salient Features:

• Integrated optical module with four PIN-TIA channels
• High responsivity at 1310nm, 1550nm & L-band
• High single-ended conversion gain of 550 V/W
• Sensitivity of -12 dBm at 25.8 Gb/s
• Overload of +4 dBm at 25.8 Gb/s
• Very low power dissipation of 200 mW per channel
• AC-coupled GPPO-style RF outputs

Applications:

• 100 Gb/s Ethernet (LR & ER)
• Digital applications up to 30 Gb/s baud rate

Available Models:

• DSC-R801 - 100 Gb Ethernet (4 x 25 Gb/s) Quad PIN-TIA Optical Receiver
