2.5Gb/s Transimpedance Amplifier with Automatic Ga

Overview

Gennum's GN1032W is a fully integrated, silicon germanium transimpedance amplifier; providing wideband, low noise pre-amplification of signal current from a photodetector.
It features differential outputs, and incorporates an automatic gain control mechanism to increase dynamic range, allowing input signals up to 2.6 mA peak. A decoupling capacitor on the supply is the only external circuitry required.

Key Applications

SONET/SDH-based transmission systems, test equipment and modules
OC-48 fibre optic modules and line termination
ATM over SONET/SDH
