10/11.3 Gb/s Transimpedance Amplifier with Automat

Overview
 

Gennum's GN1057 is a fully integrated silicon germanium (SiGe) BiCMOS transimpedance amplifier, providing wideband low noise pre-amplification of a current signal from a PIN photodiode or APD.
It features differential outputs and incorporates automatic gain control (AGC) to improve linear dynamic range. A decoupling capacitor on the supply is the only external component required.

Key Applications

ITU/IEEE-based transmission systems, test equipment and modules including 10GBASE-LRM
OC-192 fibre optic modules and line termination
10 Gigabit Ethernet
Fibre Channel
Serial data systems up to 11.3 Gb/s
