Optical Modulator Drivers
Overview
Microsemi provides very high frequency RF ICs and packaged optical modulator driver amplifiers for high speed/high frequency 100G+ optical transceivers for long haul, metro, and datacenter applications.Microsemi is developing a new generation of surface mount drivers that provide industry leading signal to noise ratio in a compact package with competitive power dissipation. Many of our products offer the unique capability to be used in limiting and linear mode by simply changing the bias conditions and drive levels.
In addition, we offer features such as gain control and peak detection.
Our products target a range of form factors such as MSA, CFP/CFP2/CFP4, and QSFP28.
