Vitesse ICs improve the capability of fiber (New Devices)
Camarillo, CA. Vitesse has introduced 10 products (see ), including laser drivers, limiting amplifiers and TIAs for transceivers and transponders used in OC-48 SONET/SDH DWDM systems operating at up to 3.125 Gbit/s, as well as Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel. "The designers of communications equipment need to optimize a fiber s capability by having a longer module reach, excess margin on the data eye opening and a low dispersion penalty," said Vitesse s Ray Milano. "These new devices provide this and more in low-cost packages [or die form], that are guaranteed to run at today s higher required temperatures." www.vitesse.com
