M/A-COM Technology Solutions Announces New Transimpedance Amplifiers For 100G Applications

M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc. (M/A-COM Tech), a leading supplier of high performance analog semiconductor solutions, introduced recently at the ECOC Exhibition, Amsterdam,  two new transimpedance amplifiers (TIAs) for 100GbE ROSA and 100G DP-QPSK applications.

The MATA-002902 is a 28Gbps Dual Chanel Limiting TIA, ideal for 100G Ethernet ROSA (28 Gbps x 4) receivers. This amplifier operates from a +3.3V power supply and has a typical bandwidth of 21 GHz. Available as a die, it features automatic DC offset compensation while the input current ranges from 0.05mApp to 2.5mApp.

The MATA-038032A is a Dual Channel Differential Linear TIA with AGC for 100G DP-QPSK (32 Gbps x4) receivers. Each channel has differential input and output. The MATA-038032A offers both manual and automatic gain control modes; in manual mode the gain can be controlled from 200Ω to 5.0KΩ differential via an external pin. In automatic mode, the gain is automatically adjusted to provide a constant output voltage. The TIA provides a linear amplification for current levels from 0.1mApp to 2mApp differential and has adjustable bandwidth between 17 and 25 GHz.

"These two new products extend our portfolio of transimpedance amplifiers. M/A-COM Tech’s goal is to have market leading products for all 100G receiver applications,” said Ray Moroney, Business Development Manager

Production quantities and samples of the MATA-002902  and MATA-038032A are available from stock.
