Product Description

SiGe Semiconductor offers a portfolio of optical

networking ICs for use in high-performance optical

transmitter and receiver functions, from 155 Mb/s up

to 12.5 Gb/s.

SiGe Semiconductor’s SE1030W is a fully integrated,

silicon bipolar transimpedance amplifier; providing

wideband, low noise preamplification of signal current

from a photodetector. It features differential outputs,

and

incorporates

an

automatic

gain

control

mechanism to increase dynamic range, allowing input

signals up to 2.6 mA peak. A decoupling capacitor on

the supply is the only external circuitry required. A

system block diagram is shown after the functional

description, on page 3.

bit error rate, achieved

using a detector with 0.5 pF capacitance and a

responsivity of 0.9 A/W, with an infinite extinction ratio

source.
