The devices come in separate 12-channel transmitter and receiver modules, and plug into a 10-by-10 BGA socket mounted on the motherboard. The transmitter is based on a VCSEL array with monitor feedback, while the receiver has a GaAs PIN photodetector array.
Both modules measure 54-by-18-by-8.4mm and operate from a 3.3V supply, drawing 250mA and dissipating <1W. They have an MT-based MPO/MTP receptacle optical interface to ensure connection to a standard 12-fiber based ribbon cable.
The ParaLink-P modules are functionally-compatible with Infineon AG's PAROLI optical interconnect devices. |
