Description
The ZL60105 and ZL60106 together make a very high
speed transmitter/receiver pair for parallel fiber
applications.
The transmitter module converts parallel electrical input
signals via a laser driver and a VCSEL array into
parallel optical output signals at a wavelength of
850nm.
The receiver module converts parallel optical input
signals via a PIN photodiode array and a
transimpedance and limiting amplifier into electrical
output signals.
The modules are pluggable each fitted with an industry-
standard MegArray
BGA connector. This provides
ease of assembly on the host board and enables
provisioning of bandwidth on demand.
