Transimpedance amplifier
Phyworks has launched a transimpedance amplifier that enables lower-cost PIN photodiodes in the receive path of customer premises' GPON applications to replace costly avalanche photodiodes (APDs).
With an intrinsic input referred noise level of just 85nA, the high-sensitivity PHY1096 transimpedance amplifier offers low-noise performance at 2.5Gbps and has been designed to meet GPON Class B+ requirements with sensitivity better than -30dBm when using a PIN photodiode.
The reduction in component cost, combined with the elimination of the high-voltage bias circuitry and lower yields associated with APDs, is expected to help increase FTTx GPON deployment.
The PHY1096 is based on a pure CMOS process that operates from a 3.3V power supply.
It integrates a transimpedance low-noise front-end amplifier, automatic gain control and a highly stable output stage.
An output is also provided that can be used to implement a signal-strength monitor circuit.
For ease of interfacing, this is designed to sink or source a current equal to the PIN photodiode current.
The PHY1096 is available in die form for mounting on a header to create a ROSA when combined with optics and a photodiode.
The operating temperature range is -40C to +85C.
The amplifier is priced at USD2.00 (GBP1.36) in volume.
