Data Sheet
2.5Gb/s High Sensitivity coplanar APD
preamp receiver
AT3SGCC
The AT3SGCC is an optical receiver offering optimum
sensitivity and overload performance for OC-48 optical
transport systems. The hermetic packaged fiber pigtailed
receiver contains an avalanche photodiode, an AGC low noise
pre-amp and a precision thermistor.
The RF coplanar data outputs from the package provide
differential noise rejection for improved sensitivity. The product
has been optimized for use in metro applications, either as a
discrete device or within a transceiver, using NRZ modulation,
with or without FEC, at data rates up to 2.7Gb/s.
The combination of a high performance avalanche
photodiode, (APD), low noise AGC pre-amp and RF coplanar
package provides unmatched performance for maximising
transmission distance. The AGC low noise pre-amp is well
suited to dynamic threshold level decision circuitry often used
to maximise overall receiver chain performance.
Features:
• High sensitivity, -35.0dBm typical
• Wide dynamic range performance to -3dBm
• MSA coplanar receiver package
• Differential data outputs
• +3.3V operation
• RoHS 5/6 compliant
Applications:
• OC-48 DWDM optical transport systems
• OC-48 DWDM metro and long haul systems
• STM-16 SDH or OC-48 SONET systems
