Gennum's GN1055 is a fully integrated silicon germanium (SiGe) BiCMOS transimpedance amplifier, providing wideband, low noise pre-amplication of a current from a PIN photodiode or APD. It features differential outputs. A decoupling capacitor on the supply is the only external component required.

• Single +3.3 V power supply
• Power dissipation = 145 mW (typical)
• Transimpedance gain = 4 kΩ into 100Ω load (diff)
• Upper Bandwidth (-3dB) = 12GHz
• Operates at OC-192 / STM-64 up to 11.3 Gb/s NRZ rates
• RSSI (Receive Signal Strength Indicator)
• User adjustable Input Slicing Level.
• Can be used with APD
• Minimal external components; supply decoupling only
• Operating junction temperature range = -40° to +125°C

• SONET/SDH-based transmission systems, test equipment and modules
• OC-192 fibre optic modules and line termination
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Fibre Channel
• Serial data systems up to 11.3 Gb/s
