Description

The 2609C is a packaged impedance-matched photodiode module with internal gain designed for use in optical broadband receivers in fiber-optic networks. The patented impedance-match technology results in improved gain-bandwidth product compared to external circuits due to control of parasitics between the photodiode and the impedance-matching circuit.

Features

— >0.85 A/W at 1310 nm

— 0.95 A/W at 1550 nm

■ Internal current gain, 6 dB (typ.)

■ 75 Ω impedance-matched

Applications

■ Extended bandwidth, broadband CATV receivers
