Traditional ROSA architecture, which typically includes four or five discrete components, is vulnerable to wide performance variations across a number of parameters. This negatively impacts the manufacturing yield of the transceiver module. Building on its innovative technology practices, Gennum has leveraged its world-class Transimpedance Amplifier (TIA) design expertise and wafer scale processing to develop the Rchip, a die stack implementation of an optical receiver.

With the new Rchip architecture, Gennum is able to optimize the complete receiver at the silicon level. The result is a ROSA with exceptional performance that is insensitive to assembly variability and is guaranteed by design. The consistent high performance of each Gennum ROSA allows module manufacturers to enjoy larger performance margins in their designs and thus, benefit from maximal manufacturing yields.
