ANADIGICS Expands OC-192 Product Portfolio
March 19, 2001
|
ANADIGICS, a leading supplier of wireless and broadband communications solutions, has announced a new multi-feature transimpedance amplifier (TIA). The second in a series of InGaP (indium gallium phosphide) HBT (heterojunction bipolar transistor) TIAs, the ATA7602 has been designed to deliver the high performance demanded by SONET OC-192 (10Gb/s) and DWDM fiber networks. The ATA7602 is similar to its predecessor (ATA7601) in that it provides high bandwidth, low group delay, low noise performance, and low power consumption for high speed, broadband fiber optic systems. The new device delivers industry-leading group delay below 50ps, features extended optical overload performance up to 0dBm and provides a differential transimpedance of more than 2 k to achieve -19 dBm sensitivity. Most importantly, the -5.2VDC TIA offers a DC offset feature that enables external management of the duty cycle on both output pins. "The ATA7602 is the second in a series of five planned products that leverages a common RF platform. This new product utilizes our leading InGaP HBT process and was specifically designed with manufacturability in mind," noted Tom Lagatta, Vice President and General Manager of Fiber Communications Products at ANADIGICS. "This technique of "featurizing" a high performance RF engine gives us the ability to rapidly create a family of targeted OC-192 products, shortening time-to-market for our customers." The new TIA is manufactured to a 1 mm x 1 mm specification using 6" InGaP HBT technology, making it especially suitable for DWDM and 10Gb/s applications. InGap HBT processing has enabled ANADIGICS to develop a part with minimal power dissipation that provides many benefits including very high reliability, resistance to temperature influences, and a high degree of performance uniformity. The ATA7602 is priced at $200 in quantities of 1,000 units. Samples will be available May 21, 2001. For additional information please contact ANADIGICS by phone (908) 668-5000 or fax (908) 668-5132.
