Linear modulator driver targets 400G long haul applications
M/A-COM Technology Solutions has announced a wideband quad channel linear modulator driver with 46Gbaud capability to support 200G and 400G ultra-long haul applications. The MAOM-003418 enables system designers to address the growing demand for higher data rates and greater bandwidth in the long haul network.
The MAOM-003418 integrates four linear driver channels in a high performance package with differential surface mount inputs and single-ended GPPO outputs for direct connection to an OIF compliant LiNbO modulator. The MAOM-003418 is distinguished by its wide bandwidth, low power dissipation and excellent linearity which supports the implementation of higher order modulation schemes that enable 400G data rates.
Ray Moroney, Marketing Director, Optoelectronics, MACOM, commented: “MACOM’s technology leadership in modulator drivers for 100G has set a strong foundation for 400G innovation. The MAOM-003418’s performance attributes exemplify the hallmark benefits of our optical solution portfolio, which equips designers of optical communications systems to accelerate their time to market with advanced optical infrastructure spanning from 10 to 400G.”
