Driver and amplifier combo cuts opto
module costs
A novel integrated burst mode laser driver and limiting amplifier aims to reduce the cost of optical networking units for the highly competitive fibre to the premises market.
The PHY1078 integrated burst mode laser driver and limiting amplifier from Phyworks has been developed with an unprecedented level of integration, specifically to reduce costs in the design and manufacture of optical networking units for the highly competitive fibre to the premises (FTTP) market The PHY1078 combines both transmit and receive functions onto a single monolithic device; it also contains an internal controller with A/D and D/A conversion, removing the need for an expensive external microcontroller
