DESCRIPTION

The AZ100EP16FE is a Silicon–Germanium (SiGe) differential VCSEL driver with variable output swing or limiting post amplifier. The 100EP16FE is optimized for OC-12,OC-24, OC-48, Ethernet, Sonnet, Fiber Channel or related applications at data rates up to 2.5Gbps. An input controls the amplitude of the Q/Q¯ outputs, which allows compensation for differing VCSEL characteristics.

FEATURES

• Silicon-Germanium for High Speed Operation

• <100ps Typical Rise/Fall Times

• Optimized for 0.622 to 2.5Gbps Fiber Applications

• Available in a 3x3mm MLP Package
