The only product to receive the top 5.0 rating, the MAOM-003404 is a high-performance quad-channel modulator driver IC for 100G metro applications. The device, which also received an Honorable Mention for technical merit, is designed to interface with surface-mount Mach Zehnder modulators requiring differential drive voltages, enabling the lowest power and smallest form factor transmit device for coherent CFP2 modules. The device has four fully differential driver channels integrated in a 14x8-mm surface-mount package. With a differential input voltage range of 300 mVppd to 600 MVppd, it can output up to 5 Vppd while dissipating 730 mW of power per channel. Additive jitter is less than 0.8 ps, and rise/fall times are less than 12.5 ps, which enables excellent OSNR performance in a 100G DP-QPSK application.
