R2860F

The R2860F 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 of R2860F 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.
