Features

General Description

The VSC7810 integrated Photodetector/Transimpedance Amplifier provides a highly integrated solution
for converting light from a fiber optic communications channel into a differential output voltage. The benefits
of V itesse S emiconduct or’ s Galliu m Arsenide H-GaAs pr ocess are f ully ut ilized t o provid e very high bandwi dth
and low noise in a product with a large optically active area for easy alignment. The sensitivity, duty cycle dis­tortion and jitter meet or exceed all Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet application requirements. Par ts are
available in either die form, flat-windowed packages or in ball-l ens packag es.

By using a metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) photodetector with a monolithic integrated transimpedance
amplifier , the input capacitance is lowered which allows for a la rger optically active area than in discrete photo­detectors. Integration also allows superior tracking over process, temperature and voltage between the photode­tector and the amplifier, resulting in higher performance. This part can easily be used in developing Fibre
Channel Electro-Optic Receivers which exhibit very high performance and ease of use.

Notes on Measurement Conditions and Applications

Note 1: Noise Measurement Method

The VSC7810 is specified to operate in the following two ranges of temperature: (a) “normal” from 0°C
(ambient) to 70°C (case) and (b) “Extended” from 0°C (ambient) to 90°C (case). In the extended range, the
operating parameters are specified in Table 6.

Table 6: Specifications Under Extended Temperature Range of Operation

Note 2: Noise Measurement Method

The noise voltage, Vn, at t he o utput i s ref err ed back to the noise power at the input t hroug h t he responsivity
R (with R in volts/watts)

The bit error rate can be expressed as:

where ,

For a , the parameter Q = 7.

The sensitivity(s) at a bit error rate of is calculated as follows:

where the NEP is in units of milliwatts and S is in dBm, respectively.
