Optical Interconnect

VCSEL Drivers

GigOptix's VCSEL drivers offer the best value in the market for the implementation of optical interconnects for both datacom and consumer applications. 1x, 4x and 12x VCSEL drivers are available with transmission rates up to 120Gb/s aggregate and the world's lowest power dissipation. The robustness and ease of use of our drivers provide exceptional yield in the high volume cost sensitive applications.

Receiver Arrays

GigOptix’s provides a full portfolio of receiver amplifiers for 10G, 40G and 100G speeds for short reach datacenter applications. GigOptix TIAs enable high input sensitivity, high Transimpedance gain, low noise/jitter, low power consumption and high voltage output swings.

Interconnect Bundles

GigOptix has leveraged its extensive mixed signal experience in high volume parallel optics devices to combine advanced RF analog circuit techniques that reduce power consumption with integrated on-chip Analog-to-Digital Convertors (ADC) and Digital-to-Analog Convertors (DAC) to enable a fully digitally controlled TOSA and ROSA. Our integrated architecture significantly simplifies the design of an optical transceiver such as an SFP+ transceiver by eliminating all analog and RF circuits from the PCB. The elimination of RF analog interfaces improves performance and reduces both power consumption and EMI within the transceiver. In addition, the integrated architecture drives down costs while significantly reducing the Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) schedule. The introduction of the SMART ROSA and TOSA further reinforces GigOptix's position as the industry leader of high speed ICs and Multi-Chip-Modules (MCMs) by enabling customers a seamless and low cost deployment using the company's "plug and play" components.
