Data Sheet

1

The AT10GC receiver consists of an avalanche photodiode,

a low-noise preamplifier and a precision NTC thermistor in a

hermetic coplanar package with a connectorized single-mode

fiber pigtail. Differential outputs are provided to improve noise

rejection for enhanced sensitivity. It has been optimised for

use in 10Gb/s metro applications, either as a discrete device

or within a transponder, using NRZ modulation, with or

without FEC, at data rates up to 10.709Gb/s.

Features:

• Sensitivity, -26.5dBm typical

• Low capacitance high speed InGaAs

APD photodetector

• Supports FEC rates up to 10.709Gb/s

• Designed to exceed the environmental requirements

of Telcordia GR-468-CORE

• RoHS 5/6 compliant

Applications:

• Client or line side links

• 300 pin LR transponder applications
