Description

The ZL60105 and ZL60106 together make a very high

speed transmitter/receiver pair for parallel fiber

applications.

The ZL60105 transmitter module converts parallel

electrical input signals via a laser driver and a VCSEL

array into parallel optical output signals at a wavelength

of 850 nm.

The ZL60106 receiver module converts parallel optical

input signals via a PIN photodiode array and a

transimpedance and limiting amplifier into electrical

output signals.

The modules are pluggable each fitted with an industry-

ease of assembly on the host board and enables

provisioning of bandwidth on demand.
