GigOptix started mass production of single channel 40G/100G optical network drive

Last Thursday, GigOptix announced its high-speed optical network application network drive products, GX6255 start of production. The product is used as a surface mount technology, and the maximum output voltage of 8Vpp single end MZM ( Mach-Zehnder Modulator ) regulating drive, the drive for the communications industry standard 40G RZ-DQPSK and 100G DP-QPSK optical transceiver module. GigOptix in 2010 December launch of this product. The GX6255 driver using surface mount technology ( SMT ), has the advantages of small volume, low power consumption. When the working speed is 32Gb/s, the output voltage peak at 8Vpp. The GX6255 driver for amplifying wave division multiplexing optical transceiver module and its light MZM modulator between the data signal, when the output voltage peak value is 7.5Vpp, its power consumption is only about 1.6 watts. " We are glad to GX6255 production begins, " GigOptix optical product line general manager and vice president said. With the arrival of " cloud computing, data migration to the network, coupled with the intelligent mobile phone and computer 's massive popularity, we see the terminal network users on the network bandwidth demand increasing. We drive products combined with the generalized dual channel 40G and 100G coherent system of transconductance amplifying receiver and 40Gb/s RZ-DQPSK system received signal amplifier for communication principle, GigOptix company so as to provide the market today network the widest bandwidth of 40G and 100G network solutions.
