SAN JOSE, Calif., March 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Integrated
Device Technology, Inc. (IDT) (NASDAQ: IDTI) today introduces the
IDT® GX72170 25G linear driver for 5G transceiver applications.
The hottest topics in the optical transceiver market are 5G and
the role of fiber in 5G deployments. Even though wireless backhaul
is a combination of wireless/satellite and fiber, fiber will have a
much larger share in 5G wireless backhaul compared to 4G. Backhaul
upgrades are occurring globally as legacy copper-based sites are
converted to packet-based transport over fiber. The demand for 25G
and 50G wireless fronthaul transceivers in the next 5 years is
expected to have 45% CAGR or more, according to the latest
LightCounting report.
The IDT GX72170 is a broadband, low power consumption, single
channel amplifier die, which integrates a linear pre-amplifier and
a post-amplifier with AC-coupled 100W differential input and 50W
differential output interfaces, capable of driving a linear output
voltage of up to 3.0Vppd with 10dB variable gain control range. The
driver was designed to provide flat frequency response with 22GHz
3dB-bandwidth with gain flatness of ±0.5dB up to 10GHz and less
than 2dB peaking from 16GHz to 24GHz, and less than 3% total
harmonic distortion. The driver integrates the peak detector
and the temperature monitor.
"We are excited to see how our long technology experience in
high speed linear drivers for long haul and metro applications
extended the linear drivers to 5G applications. The 5G market is
fueled by the steady increase in data traffic and our goal is to
provide our customers with flexible solutions that can get them to
market quickly and within their cost requirements. The GX72170
driver is in production and we are happy to work with customers to
have the part integrated into their transceivers," said
Marco Cipriani, director of Telecom
Products for IDT's Optical Interconnects Division.
