Micrel Launches New Low-Power Limiting Post Amplifier for SFP Transceivers
SAN JOSE, Calif., June 25 // -- Micrel Inc., (NASDAQ:MCRL), an industry leader in analog, high bandwidth communications and Ethernet IC solutions, today launched the SY88973BL, a low-power limiting post amplifier that is designed for use in fiber optic receivers; specifically, it is ideal for 1.25Gbps and 2.5Gbps Gigabit Ethernet, 1.062Mbps and 2.125Gbps Fibre Channel, Gigabit interface converter (GBIC), Small Form Factor (SFF) and SFP transceivers, parallel 10G Ethernet, high-gain line drivers and line receivers in both the Telecom/datacom and Optical transceiver markets. The SY88973BL is another product in Micrel's wide and diverse family of post amplifiers. It is currently available in volume quantities and is priced at $3.31 for 1K quantities. A free evaluation board is also available.
"Micrel's post amplifier family has received wide customer acceptance in part because the entire line offers universally interchangeable parts," said Thomas S. Wong, vice president high bandwidth products, Micrel. "Like the rest of the post amp family, our new device is also easy to use in a wide variety of applications and data rates and meets the industry's most stringent jitter requirements."
The SY88973BL incorporates a loss-of-signal (LOS), open-collector TTL output with an external 4.75k micron to 10k micron pull-up resistor. This IC offers multi-rate capability from 622 Mbps up to 3.2Gbps operation. It also features internal 50 micron data input and low-noise 50 micron CML data output. The SY88973BL has chatter-free OC-TTL LOS output with programmable LOS sensitivity using a single external resistor. Available in a tiny 3mm x 3mm 16-pin MLF(R) package, the device operates from a single +3.3V plus or minus 10% power supply, over an industrial temperature range of -40 degrees C to +85 degrees C.
