These transceivers are used as links connecting enterprises with a network provider Central Office (CO).
Key features of the GX6220 include:
Compatibility with the emerging 100GBASE-ER4 standard;
Low power consumption;
Small form factor;
DC coupling with adjustable voltage offset;
Low RMS jitter degradation;
Adjustable eye cross point;
Differential input/single ended output.
The GX6220’s low power consumption and small form factor enables easy integration in TOSA solutions and its 28Gb/s bandwidth enables the die to be used in 100G Ethernet applications using Forward Error Correction (FEC) encoding schemes.
“This device is a critical component for the transition to 100G, as it enables power efficient and cost effective systems to be delivered by our customers,” states Julie Tipton, vice president marketing at GigOptix. “Despite the down turn, leading analysts anticipate the 100G infrastructure to roll out in 2010. We are focused on supporting our customers to be well positioned for the recovery with competitive new products to meet the bandwidth challenge.”
