Optoelectronics And Transmission Features Come On One Chip

Combining a 2.5-Gb/s optical transponder with firm's multi-protocol SONET/SDH termination IC, this optical networking terminator is the second generation of networking modules to follow the introduction of the TransLight transponder. This 3.3V optical networking terminator has lasers and receivers that can be configured to meet wavelengths and power output for long-haul and short-haul applications. The module consists of the firm's BiCMOS SONET jitter-compliant clocking devices, the TTRN012G5 clock multiplexer and synthesizer, and the TRCV012G5 integrated demultiplexer, clock recovery and limiting amplifier. With the integrated TDAT042G5 multi-protocol framing and data termination device, the optical networking terminator is said to be the first module to provide an integrated solution spanning the packet- or cell-data-enhanced Utopia 3 interface through the optical fiber connectors. Price is $2000 to $5000 each/1000 with 350-pin electrical interface.
