HXR8212-QUAL

Overview

The HXR8212-QUAL is a high-performance trans-impedance limiting amplifier array designed for parallel optical links in telecom and datacom applications. It integrates four optical channels, each featuring a transimpedance preamplifier, a limiting post-amplifier, and a versatile CML output stage. The device operates at 28 Gbps with a receiver sensitivity of 60 mApp for a 10^-12 BER and an overload capability exceeding 2.4 mApp. Power consumption is specified at 141 mW per channel under low-power settings. Constructed using SiGe technology, it functions as a 3.3V component suitable for high-capacity, high-availability optical interconnects.
