PMC-Sierra Introduces Analog Front End Devices for GPON and EPON

PMC-Sierra introduced four new Analog Front End Devices (AFEs) for GPON and EPON FTTH equipment. The new Physical layer devices, which will compliment PMC-Sierra's line of networking SoCs for GPON and EPON systems, enable system OEMs to produce high-performance systems for IEEE802.3ah EPON, which is widely deployed in Asia, and ITU-T G.984 GPON, which is increasingly popular in North America.



The new GPON devices include the PAS7351 GPON Trans-Impedance Amplifier (TIA) and the PAS7361 GPON Limiting Amplifier (LIA), that together form a Gigabit PON Optical Line Terminal (OLT) burst receiver for use in ITU-T G.984 GPON transceivers.



The new EPON devices include the PAS5351 EPON Trans-Impedance Amplifier (TIA) and the PAS5361 EPON Limiting Amplifier (LIA). Together they form a Gigabit Ethernet PON Optical Line Terminal (OLT) burst receiver that exceeds the IEEE802.3ah Ethernet in the First Mile EPON transceiver standard.
