Mindspeed releases fiber optic solutions

Mindspeed Technologies Inc. has developed a range of end-to-end fiber optic solutions that include transimpedance amplifiers (TIAs) and other physical media devices (PMDs) for GPON, GEPON, XG-PON and 10G-EPON applications.

Among Mindspeed's offerings is the 1.25Gbit/s burst mode TIA for central-office-side optical line termination (OLT) equipment in Gigabit Ethernet PON (GEPON) applications. The M02038 TIA can be used with the company's M02052 burst mode post amplifier as a complete OLT module solution. Mindspeed also offers the M02028 high sensitivity continuous-mode 1.25Gbit/s TIA that can be used with the company's previously announced M02098 burst mode laser driver for subscriber-side optical networking unit (ONU) equipment.

Mindspeed will also feature an end-to-end demonstration of its 10 Gigabit Ethernet PON (10G-EPON) applications, including its M02138 burst mode TIA and M02172 modulator laser driver for OLT equipment, and its M02170 burst-mode laser driver for ONU equipment. Each chipset is complemented by Mindspeed's M02142 post-amplifier to create a complete solution on either side of the link.

Mindspeed's TIAs and other PMDs can be implemented in a small form factor or small form factor (SFF) or small form factor pluggable (SFP) optical transceiver, or with a bi-directional optical sub-assembly (BOSA) that can be mounted directly onto the board.
