GigOptix was selected to design the 45Gb/s amplifier because of its capability of offering high speed Rx amplifier designs that optimize higher sensitivity, lower power consumption, wide bandwidth, and output voltage.
There is nothing quite like the GX3440 available in today’s market and that makes this development partnership a big win for GigOptix, stated Andrea Betti-Berutto, chief technology officer of GigOptix. We met our commitment to turn this design around in record time and delivered new devices to meet a very tight market schedule. By working with a leader in this segment, we are optimistic about the potential of this product as the GX3440 is targeted for applications which are gaining a lot of traction in the market.
The new GX3440 amplifier is presently being sampled by the development partner and will be available to the open sampling later in the second quarter of 2009.
