SAN JOSE, Calif., March 4, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Integrated
Device Technology, Inc. (IDT) (NASDAQ: IDTI) today introduced its
new GX7847x 80G linear driver series, in die form, for next
generation coherent optical integrated modules.
The coherent market is continuously growing with an estimated
44% CAGR for worldwide ports, with 400G-plus capable hardware being
one of the key market growth drivers. According to the Cignal
AI 3Q18 optical application report technology roadmap, the upcoming
fifth generation coherent applications are predicted to support
800Gb/s to 1Tb/s plus bandwidth with 80 to 100Gbaud baud-rate.
The IDT® GX7847x series 80G linear drivers are 4-channel
integrated single die solutions that cover all optical modulator
technologies in the market. The GX78471, GX78472 and GX78474 are
optimized to provide the best performance for Lithium Niobate,
Indium Phosphide, and Silicon Photonics modulators,
respectively. These drivers are designed for 400G ZR, Metro, and
Data Center Interconnect (DCI) applications, are compliant with the
Optical Interconnect Forum (OIF) standard, and are used in highly
integrated optical sub-assembly modules such as the High Bandwidth
Coherent Driver Modulator (HB-CDM) and Integrated Coherent
Transmitter-Receiver Optical Sub-Assembly (IC-TROSA). The
HB-CDM and IC-TORSA using the GX7847x series have higher bandwidth
without any degradations in terms of output voltage swing,
linearity, power consumption and die size.
Integrated optical modules based on the GX7847x series will have
many advanced features, including:
- 60GHz bandwidth with frequency response tunability to optimize
the E/O response of the optical modules
- Large output voltage of 2Vppd for driving InP and 4Vppd for
Lithium Niobate and Silicon Photonics optical modulators
- Linearity of less than 1% of THD for 64QAM modulation
IDT has sampled customers with GX7847x series drivers and
production shipments are expected to begin before the end of
2019.
"IDT's new GX7847x driver series is another exciting addition to
the expanding portfolio of coherent solutions," said Dr.
Koichi Murata, marketing director,
telecom products, for IDT's optical interconnects division.
"Increasing the baud rate of coherent technology is always
challenging, but it is the most promising way to increasing the
transmission capacity of coherent systems. Our GX7847x series
drivers support solving the baud rate technical bottle neck for the
next generation, bandwidth-hungry coherent systems and
services."
