2650A/B Broadband Photodiode
Features
Data Sheet, Rev. 1
April 2001
Description
The 2650A/B provides the proven high performance
of our photodiode technology in a very practical,
cost-effective package. The 2650-series features
high linearity and low capacitance over a
1 GHz bandwidth. These broadband photodiodes are
housed in a small, environmentally rugged coaxial
package.
The 2650A/B broadband photodetector is designed
to provide the performance and flexibility needed to
meet the expanding applications of two-way communications networks. This photodiode is used today in
forward- and return-path applications, including AMVSB CATV, QAM 64/256, PON, FTTC, and FTTH
receivers.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
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.
