Modulator Drivers enable next generation of coherent modules for 100, 200 and 400G
LOWELL, Mass. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — March 10, 2014 — M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc. (“MACOM”), a leading supplier of high performance RF, microwave, and millimeter wave products, today announced the newest addition to its portfolio of modulator drivers for line side applications at 100G and beyond.

The MAOM-003406 and MAOM-003408 are quad channel 32 Gbps modulator drivers in small form factor surface mount packages. The parts are designed to operate with the latest surface mount lithium niobate optical modulators thus enabling the next generation of OIF transponders in the 4”x5” form factor. These new products expand on MACOM’s existing portfolio of single and dual channel surface mount drivers and quad-channel GPPO modules which are shipping in volume in first generation 100G systems.
The MAOM-003406 is a limiting driver which can deliver up to 7.2Vpp output voltage. The MAOM-003408 is a linear driver with up to 6Vpp linear output voltage. Both parts have differential inputs to minimize cross-talk and to optimize the interface to the DAC on linear systems. The single-ended outputs are designed to interface directly to the modulator inputs with minimal parasitics. The drivers are each integrated in 13x19mm surface mount packages and are pin compatible to enable a common board design across system platforms.
“We are very excited to introduce these highly integrated surface mount solutions for next generation long haul systems” said Ray Moroney, MACOM’s Product Line Manager for Optoelectronics. “MACOM can now claim the broadest portfolio of modulator drivers for coherent applications with solutions for all data rates, modulator types and module form factors”.
Samples of MAOM-003406 and MAOM-003408 are available today and are being demonstrated at OFC 2014 in San Francisco this week. Please visit booth 2203 at OFC and www.macom.com for more information.
