PT-10E
Product Bulletin (Preliminary) • January 2003
• Differential-output PIN/TIA receiver
• High data rate, up to 10.7 Gb/s
• High sensitivity, -20 dBm
• 1200–1650 nm wavelength range
• Compact butterfly package
• Dual coplanar output
The PT-10E is a -20 dBm sensitivity
receiver module for OC-192 / STM-64
transmission system receive applications
up to 10.7 Gb/s. It couples a high
responsivity (1 A/W), back-illuminated
PIN photodiode, usable from 1200 nm to
1650 nm, with an internal transimpedance
gain stage of 1600 V/A. This combination
produces a receiver with a 8.5 GHz band-
width and conversion gain of 1500 V/W.
The differential-output module is available
with a coplanar waveguide package with
single-mode fiber input. The receiver
meets Telcordia GR-468 qualification
standards.
