Description

The R2860A receiver module incorporates a high-

speed planar PIN diode and a GaAs PHEMT pream-

plifier to provide exceptionally high performance. The

unit provides high bandwidth and sensitivity to oper-

ate with long, dispersive fibers, plus wide dynamic

range for operation over a variety of loss budgets.

High transimpedance coupled with a nonquantizing

limiting buffer output provides high gain while limiting

the maximum output signal swing, thereby simplifying

the interface to subsequent stages.

Agere Systems Inc. offers several 1R and 2R high-

speed receiver components for 10 Gbits/s and

12.5 Gbits/s applications. APD and PIN versions are

available in a 6-pin hermetic package with coaxial

output. In addition, Agere Systems also offers a PIN

receiver with coplanar waveguide in a multisource

agreement form-factor or a smaller, space-sensitive

package. For more information about the complete

line of high-speed receiver products, please visit the
