Low Power, Quad Channel 28Gbps EML Driver

The MAOM-003401 is a high performance Quad Channel electro-absorption modulator driver IC for 100GigE (25Gbps x4) application. This IC is available in packaged form. The MAOM-003401 is driven with differential (each port) input signal that can range from 350mVpp to 600mVpp to provide an output that can be controlled from 1.0Vpp to 1.6Vpp for each channel. In addition, this driver IC has low typical power consumption of 200mW at 1.5Vpp output, low RMS jitter and a typical rise and fall time of 12.5ps. The driver has separate integrated high frequency coils for biasing the EML.
