Description
The R480-Type 2.5 Gbits/s lightwave receiver is
designed for use in SONET and synchronous digital
hierarchy (SDH) telecommunications applications up
to OC-48 and STM-16 data rates, and high-speed
data communications applications. The receiver con-
verts received optical signals in the range of 1.2
µm
to 1.6
µm
wavelength into differential CML data out-
puts. The receiver consists of either an InGaAs APD
or PIN photodetector (depending on model selected),
a transimpedance amplifier, and a limiting amplifier
that provides differential CML data output. A TTL
compatible link status flag signal indicates when
there is a loss of optical signal.
The receiver is manufactured in a low-profile, pig-
tailed, 24-pin plastic DIP package. It requires a sin-
gle, 5.0 V power supply. The APD version has the
added benefit of containing the high-voltage supply
internal to the receiver. This internal supply also pro-
vides the necessary temperature compensation for
the APD. An analog photodetector monitor provides a
voltage proportional to the optical input level voltage
(OILV).
Manufactured in a low-profile, 24-pin package, the R480-Type
receiver features either an avalanche or PIN photodetector, a
transimpedance amplifier, and a limiting amplifier IC.
