New WideFiber(TM) GaAs Driver Amplifier Enhances Increased Data Transmission Rates to Greater Than 13 Gb/s Along With an Improved Eye Diagram
Santa Clara, CA. Celeritek, Inc. (Nasdaq: CLTK) announced today the availability of a new driver amplifier for external fiber optic modulators targeting higher bandwidth applications and data rates greater than 13Gb/s. Celeritek s new model CMM3030-BD wideband GaAs driver amplifier complements the Company s previously announced model CMM3020-BD.
"The new CMM3030-BD driver amplifier compliments our previous offering, the CMM3020, with enhanced bandwidth capabilities. It demonstrates the execution of our fiber optic product road map and leverages our proven high frequency expertise. We continue to drive our technology and product developments to be where the demand for high-speed data is headed and are on track for a 40Gb/s capability in early 2001," said Bill Hoppin, Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
"The WideFiber(TM) product line, which now includes both the CMM3020 and the CMM3030, continues to be well received. We now have secured 7 strategic design wins, from leading manufacturers in the fiber optics field and we are excited that they have chosen Celeritek products" added Richard Chou, Manager of GaAs products.
The CMM3030-BD optical driver amplifier gives fiber optic system designers a unique combination of wideband frequency coverage along with an improved eye diagram, flat response, and very low internal jitter. It is a precision PHEMT GaAs MMIC, medium power, +23dBm amplifier. It operates from 30KHz to 30GHz with a linear 10dB gain response. Low internal jitter makes it especially well suited for high-speed digital data applications. Typical output voltage is 7.5V peak-to-peak. It is an excellent choice as a driver amplifier for Lithium Niobate external optical modulators in order to achieve a high extinction ratio. Targeted for high-speed applications, beyond OC-192, the bit rate can be as high as 13Gb/s. The bias voltage can be adjusted to reduce the output voltage as needed.
Samples of CMM3030-BD are available in gel pak packages. Celeritek s complete in-house manufacturing capability guarantees quality and reliability in each step of the production process. Volume quantities are priced at $220.00 per unit.
Celeritek designs and develops products using MESFET, pHEMT and HBT GaAs processes tailored to support high capacity broadband wireless and fiber applications.
