MACOM Technology Solutions: MAOM-003401, 28 Gbps EA Modulator Driver IC

June 19, 2014

The MAOM-003401 is a high-performance quad-channel electro-absorption modulator driver IC for 100 Gigabit Ethernet (4x25 Gbps) applications that received an Honorable Mention for its technical merit. This IC is available in packaged form. The MAOM-003401 is driven with a differential (each port) input signal that can range from 350 mVpp to 600 mVpp to provide an output that can be controlled from 1.0 Vpp to 1.6 Vpp for each channel. In addition, this driver IC has low typical power consumption of 200 mW at 1.5 Vpp output, low RMS jitter, and a typical rise and fall time of 12.5 ps. The driver has separate integrated high frequency coils for biasing the EML.
