May 24, 2012 Press Release  -- Compact 59mm2 Size and Industry's Lowest Power Consumption (1W) for 8Vpp Output! Chelmsford, MA, 05/24/2012 - Hittite Microwave Corporation, the world class supplier of complete MMIC based solutions for communication & military markets, has released the industry’s lowest power and smallest form factor SMT packaged Optical Modulator Driver, which operates from DC to 30 GHz, and is designed for 40 Gbps and 100 Gbps Mach-Zehnder optical modulator driver applications.  The
HMC5850BG features high gain across a wide
frequency range, low power dissipation, very compact size, integrated peak detector function, fast rise/fall time
and integrated bias-tee inductor. The driver provides 8 Vp-p saturated output swing up to 32 Gbps and features
output swing cross point adjustment.  With a wide
supply operating range from +5V to +7V, the
HMC5850BG is an
environmentally friendly product consuming only 1 Watt of power. The
HMC5850BG provides Long
Haul system designers with scalable power dissipation for varying output drive requirements. The integrated peak
detector function enables monitoring and maintains a constant output swing from the modulator driver. Integrated
high speed bias-tee eliminates the requirement for external components. The
HMC5850BG can also
interface with the HMC981LP3E
active bias controller, enabling stability of performance over operating conditions.The HMC5850BG operates between the -40 °C to +85 °C temperature range, provides up to 32 dB of gain, and exhibits very low additive rms jitter of 230 fs and supports up to 32 Gbps operation. The output swing is adjustable from 5 Vp-p to 8 Vp-p. The HMC5850BG features RF I/Os that are internally matched to 50 Ohms, and are housed in 9.75mm x 6mm x 3.29 mm laminate substrate based BGA surface-mount package. The package comes with an ESD protection feature. Samples and evaluation PC boards for all SMT packaged products are available from stock and can be ordered via the company’s e-commerce site or via direct purchase order.

About RF Cafe
Copyright: 1996 - 2024 Web BSEE - KB3UON RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
