GigOptix to demonstrate 40G chipset in AOC for QSFP+ applications

GigOptix Inc of San Jose, CA, USA (a fabless supplier of analog semiconductor and optical components enabling high-speed end-to-end information streaming over optical fiber and wireless networks) is to showcase its 40Gb/s VCSEL driver and receiver array chipset for QSFP+ applications at the 14th China International Optoelectronic Expo (CIOE) at the Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center on 6 September.

In booth 6017/6018, GigOptix will provide a demonstration of its HXT/R5104 chipset, which is used in both 40GBASE-SR4 QSFP transceivers and 40GBASE-LR4 ROSAs (receiver optical sub-assemblies).

The HXT/R5 chipsets are designed to be fully compliant with the IEEE 40GBASE-LR4 standard, meeting the exacting receiver sensitivity and stressed-eye specifications in addition to the 40G QSFP+ form factor requirements. The individual VCSEL driver & receiver arrays are ultralow power, consuming less than 75mW/channel while fully implementing the driver and receive function of a 10km 40G link. The firm says that the design minimizes the number of components required to implement the 40G receiver resulting in a lower cost and smaller form factor.

In addition, GigOptix is also showcasing the following:

• LX8220: 40Gb/s DQPSK TFPS optical modulator with low drive voltage and small form factor, designed for long-haul and ultra-long-haul optical transponders;
• LX8240: 100Gb/s DP-QPSK TFPS optical modulator with ultra-small form factor and low driving voltage;
• GX62255: low-power, integrated dual-channel 32Gb/s driver designed for 40G DQPSK and 100G DP-QPSK long-haul optical transmitters;
• GX62472: a 4x32Gb/s Mach-Zehnder quad linear driver designed with integrated GPPO outputs for 100G and 400G DWDM metro and long-haul optical transmitters; and
• GX3222: a dual-channel linear transimpedance amplifier (TIA) designed for use in 100Gb/s DWDM optical receivers.
