Mindspeed Extends GPON and GEPON Leadership with Next-Generation Optical Networking Unit Burst-Mode Driver Solution
March 05 2012 - 5:10AM
Business Wire
Mindspeed Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:MSPD), a leading
supplier of semiconductor solutions for network infrastructure
applications, today announced the latest addition to its burst-made
laser drivers for optical networking units (ONUs) that deliver
fiber-to-the-x (FTTx) multi-play services via fiber-access networks
using Gigabit Ethernet passive optical network (GEPON) and Gigabit
PON (GPON) technology. The highly integrated solution features
power-saving sleep and current reduction modes and supports data
rates to 3.1Gbps in a small 4x4 mm package.
“The M02099 family of burst-mode laser driver chipsets builds on
the feature set of our widely deployed M02090 and M02098 drivers,
including lower power dual-closed-loop EyeMinder™ technology that
delivers real-time monitoring and compensation for laser aging and
temperature effects,” said Gary Shah, vice president of product
marketing, high performance analog (HPA) at Mindspeed. “As with its
predecessors, the M02099 chipset family can be used in traditional
modules and is also ideal for system designs that reduce
bill-of-materials (BOM) costs by mounting optical subassemblies
directly on the ONU board.”
Mindspeed will be demonstrating the M02099 chipset family and
its end-to-end GPON, GEPON, 10G-GPON/EPON solutions at The Optical
Fiber Communication Conference and Exposition and the National
Fiber Optic Engineers Conference (OFC/NFOEC 2012), March 6-8, 2012,
in booth #1761/1763 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
Technical Features
Mindspeed®’s M02099 family of chipsets features a programmable
burst-mode laser driver integrated with a continuous-mode limiting
amplifier. The M02100 driver also includes on-chip electrically
erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) for storing
calibration constants and performance settings, and can support
more than one million write cycles. In addition to operating
without external control, the devices also may operate under the
control of an external microcontroller or media access control
(MAC) device.
The M02099 chipset family delivers 3.1Gbps data rates for both
transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) operations with isolated power
pins and independent shutdown. The device offers integrated Tx
Signal Detect (TX-SD), Rogue ONU detection and robust Tx burst-mode
power monitoring. Its limiting amplifier can support better than
5mV input sensitivity at 3.1Gbps with selectable gain and bandwidth
settings.
Availability
The M02099 family of burst-mode ONU drivers is available now and
supplied in a 4x4 mm quad-flat no-leads (QFN) package. The chipsets
can be used in GPON and GEPON FTTx small form factor (SFF) or small
form factor pluggable (SFP) optical transceiver modules, or single
board ONU/ONT designs with bidirectional optical subassembly
(BOSA)-on-board optics.
