R2860A

Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are absolute stress ratings only. Functional operation of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in excess of those given in the operational sections of the data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for extended periods can adversely affect device reliability.

The R2860A receiver module incorporates a highspeed planar PIN diode and a GaAs PHEMT preamplifier to provide exceptionally high performance. The unit provides high bandwidth and sensitivity to operate 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 highspeed 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.
