4Gbaud quad-channel linear modulator driver
M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc. (“MACOM”), has announced the MAOM-006428, the industry’s first 64Gbaud quad-channel linear Mach Zehnder modulator driver. This device will support data rates of 400 Gbps and beyond on a single wavelength for long haul communications using coherent technology. By increasing the data rate on a single wavelength, operators can increase capacity and […]
36-V op amps target industrial uses
The TSB572 and TSB611 single op amps are the first devices produced using ST’s new 40V-ready BiCMOS semiconductor process. This technology delivers superior GBW/Icc efficiency resulting in about five times lower supply current in relation to performance, compared with standard op amps. In addition, low input-offset voltages with temperature drift below 6µV/°C simplify system design, […]
