Integrated Device Technology (IDT) introduced its new GX7847x 80G linear driver series, in die form, for next generation coherent optical integrated modules.
IDT said its GX7847x series 80G linear drivers are 4-channel integrated single die solutions that cover all optical modulator technologies in the market. The GX78471, GX78472 and GX78474 are optimized to provide the best performance for Lithium Niobate, Indium Phosphide, and Silicon Photonics modulators, respectively.
The drivers are designed for 400G ZR, Metro, and Data Center Interconnect (DCI) applications, are compliant with the Optical Interconnect Forum (OIF) standard, and are used in highly integrated optical sub-assembly modules such as the High Bandwidth Coherent Driver Modulator (HB-CDM) and Integrated Coherent Transmitter-Receiver Optical Sub-Assembly (IC-TROSA). The HB-CDM and IC-TORSA using the GX7847x series have higher bandwidth without any degradations in terms of output voltage swing, linearity, power consumption and die size.
