Key Features
- Metro MSA compatible
- Wide drive range (3 to 10 V)
- Single-ended input / output
- Low power dissipation (1.1 W at Vo = 6V)
- Very low rail ripple
- 25 ps edge rates (20/80)
- Small form factor: 11.4 x 8.9 x 2 mm (0.450 x 0.350 x 0.080 in)
Qorvo's TGA4953-SL is part of a series of surface mount modulator drivers suitable for a variety of driver applications and is compatible with Metro MSA standards.
The TGA4953-SL consists of two high performance wideband amplifiers combined with off chip circuitry assembled in a surface mount package. A single TGA4953-SL placed between the MUX and Optical Modulator provides OEMs with a board level modulator driver surface mount solution.
The TGA4953-SL provides Metro and Long Haul designers with system critical features such as: low power dissipation (1.1 W at Vo = 6 V), very low rail ripple, high voltage drive capability at 5V bias (6 V amplitude adjustable to 3 V), low output jitter (1 ps rms typical) and low input drive sensitivity (250 mV at Vo = 6V).
The TGA4953-SL requires external DC blocks, a low frequency choke and control circuitry. The part is RoHS compliant. Evaluation boards are available upon request.
Typical Applications
- IRZ and Duobinary Applications
- Mach-Zehnder Modulator Drivers
- Metro and Long Haul Optical Networks
