NT23L50-PR

Overview

The NT23L50 is a high sensitivity Transimpedance Amplifier (TIA) designed for optical fiber transceiver applications. It operates at a data rate of 622Mbps and features an Automatic Gain Control (AGC) circuit to maintain signal integrity across varying input levels. The device provides a gain of 50kΩ with a bandwidth of 0.32GHz, powered by a single 3.3V supply. With a noise specification of 60nA, it is optimized for FTTH and Telecom Fiber environments.

Feature Summary

• Integrates Automatic Gain Control (AGC) functionality for stable operation in variable signal conditions
• Delivers high sensitivity performance suitable for long-reach or low-power optical links
• Utilizes CMOS technology for efficient power consumption and compact integration

Applications

• FTTH transceivers
• Telecom Fiber transceivers
• OC-12 systems
• BPON networks
