Data Sheet 10Gb/s surface mount coplanar APD preamp receiver for low OSNR applications AT10GC The AT10GC receiver consists of an avalanche photodiode, a low-noise preamplifier and a precision NTC thermistor in a hermetic coplanar package with a connectorized single-mode fiber pigtail. Differential outputs are provided to improve noise rejection for enhanced sensitivity. It has been optimised for use in 10Gb/s metro applications, either as a discrete device or within a transponder, using NRZ modulation, with or without FEC, at data rates up to 10.709Gb/s. Features: • Sensitivity, -26.5dBm typical • Low capacitance high speed InGaAs APD photodetector • Supports FEC rates up to 10.709Gb/s • Designed to exceed the environmental requirements of Telcordia GR-468-CORE • RoHS 5/6 compliant Applications: • Client or line side links • 300 pin LR transponder applications 1 Data Sheet Operating Characteristics Case Temperature = 25°C unless otherwise specified Parameter Typ Max Unit 231-1 PRBS BER<10-12 Voptimal = VM10 -26.5 -24.5 dBm Sensitivity penalty EOL over temperature [1] [2] 231-1 PRBS BER<10-12 Voptimal = VM10 T=-40 to +85°C 0.75 1.0 dB Deviation from linear phase DC - 6GHz -10 +10 ° VAPD=VM10 Small signal 7 Optical sensitivity BOL [1] [2] Symbol Measurement Conditions Sens GHz High frequency -3dB corner fH Low frequency -3dB corner fL Transimpedance gain [3] [4] [5] TZ Small signal Maximum output voltage VOUT Peak-to-peak S22 DC to 8.0GHz PSAT 231-1 PRBS VAPD=VM3 BER<10-12 -3 APD breakdown voltage Vbr IAPD=10µA 20 40 V APD breakdown voltage temperature coefficient TVbr 0.030 0.061 V/°C Dark current Id 100 nA Amplifier bias current Iee 90 mA Input current for output limiting IIn lim Transimpedance amp supply voltage Thermistor resistance Return loss Optical overload [2] [6] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] 1.1 40 kHz 1.4 2.5 kΩ 500 700 mV -8 dB -1 At 90% of Vbr 75 Peak-to-peak dBm 1000 uA Vee -5.2 V RTH 10 kΩ Notes: 2 Min Optical Wavelength between 1525-1575nm.
