Phyworks has launched a highly integrated laser driver and limiting amplifier IC for small form factor optical modules operating between 125Mbit/s and 1.25Gbit/s.
The first device of its kind to be offered at US $1 in volume, the PHY1040 is also the first to support both VCSEL and continuous mode DFB and FP lasers for DDM and nonDDM applications Providing a more flexible design platform for Gigabit Ethernet, OC3 and OC-12 optical modules, the PHY1040 significantly reduces component cost, PCB size and design and manufacturing complexity
