FEATURES
• 2.7Gb/s APD Receiver module in an industry
standard mini-DIL package is available in gull-wing
or through-hole configuration
• High Sensitivity: -34 dBm (typ.)
• Differential Electrical Output
• Integral Thermistor and GaAs IC Preamp
• Wide operating temperature range: -40 to +85°C
APPLICATIONS
This APD detector preamp is intended to function as an
optical receiver in long haul SONET, SDH, and DWDM systems
operating up to 2.7Gb/s. The device operates in both the 1,310 and
1,550nm wavelength windows. The nominal 10KΩ integral thermistor allows
accurate monitoring of the APD temperature and facilitates the design of the
APD bias control circuits. The detector preamplifier has a differential electrical output.
DESCRIPTION
The FRM5W232BS incorporates a 30 micron InGaAs Avalanche Photodiode (APD)
detector, a GaAs IC transimpedance preamplifier, and a thermistor in a mini-DIL type
package. The APD is processed with modern MOVPE techniques resulting in reliable
performance over a wide range of operating conditions. The lens coupling system
and the single mode fiber are assembled using Nd: YAG welding techniques. The BS
package is designed for a surface mount PC board assembly, and the BS-A is designed
for through-hole mount assembly.
