Philips Semiconductors Product specification
Optical receiver module BGE67BO
FEATURES
• Excellent linearity
• Extremely low noise
• Excellent flatness
• Standard CATV outline
• Rugged construction
• Gold metallization ensures excellent reliability.
APPLICATIONS
• Reverse receiver amplifiers in two-way CATV systems
in the 5 to 300 MHz frequency range.
DESCRIPTION
Hybrid high dynamic range optical receiver amplifier
module in a SOT115U package operating at a voltage
supply of 24 V (DC). The module contains a monomode
optical input suitable for wavelengths from
1290 to 1600 nm, a terminal to monitor the pin diode
current and an electrical output with an impedance of
75 Ω.
