BPRV2125A
Product Description
The balanced photoreceiver module BPRV2125A is a differential front-end for 43 Gbit/s DPSK-applications featuring high differential gain of typically 3000 V/W and is available as AC- or DC-coupled version. The photoreceiver contains two waveguide-integrated pin-photodiodes (PD) on a single chip and a limiting amplifier (LA) within one small form factor SMD-package. The limiting amplifier provides a differential output voltage swing of typ. 600 mV. The receiver is suited for DPSK and DQPSK applications at 40G and 100G with rates between 20 and 56 GBaud. The DC output voltage can be monitored for OUTN and OUTP independently. For each amplifier path a threshold control at a linear amplification stage should be applied to ensure an optimized differential output signal. An excellent electrical and optical phase propagation is achieved by a total skew of lower than 5 ps between the balanced signal paths.
