Data Sheet High Sensitivity 10Gb/s surface mount coplanar APD preamp receiver AT10XGC The AT10XGC receiver consists of an avalanche photodiode, a low-noise preamplifier and a precision NTC thermistor in a hermetic coplanar packagewith a connectorized single-mode fiber pigtail. Differential outputs are provided to improve noise rejection for enhanced sensitivity. It has been optimised for use in 10Gb/s metro or long-haul applications, either as a discrete device or within a transponder, using NRZ modulation, with or without FEC, at data rates up to 10.709Gb/s. Features: * High sensitivity, -28.5dBm typical * Low capacitance high speed InGaAs APD photodetector * Supports FEC rates up to 10.709Gb/s * Best in class power consumption, only 300mW * Designed to exceed the environmental requirements of Telcordia GR-468-CORE * RoHS 5/6 compliant Applications: * Client or line side links * 300 pin LR transponder applications * Yellow fiber pigtail for MSA compliance 1 Data Sheet Operating Characteristics Case Temperature = 25C unless otherwise specified Parameter Typ Max Unit 231-1 PRBS BER<10-12 Voptimal = VM10 -28.5 -27.0 dBm Sensitivity penalty EOL over temperature [1] [2] 231-1 PRBS BER<10-12 Voptimal = VM10 T=0 to +85C 0.75 1.0 dB Deviation from linear phase DC - 6GHz -10 +10 VAPD=VM10 Small signal 8 Optical sensitivity BOL [1] [2] Symbol Measurement Conditions Sens High frequency -3dB corner fH Low frequency -3dB corner fL Transimpedance gain TZ Small signal VOUT 9 GHz 40 kHz 5.7 k Peak-to-peak 165 mV S22 DC to 6.0GHz -8 dB PSAT 2^23-1 PRBS VAPD=VM3 BER<10-12 -3 APD breakdown voltage Vbr T=25C IAPD=10mA 20 40 V APD breakdown voltage temperature coefficient TVbr 0.030 0.061 V/C Dark current Id 100 nA Amplifier bias current Icc 73 mA Input current for output limiting IIn lim Transimpedance amp supply voltage VTZA Thermistor resistance RTH [3] [4] [5] Maximum output voltage Return loss Optical overload [2] [6] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] 2.3 4.0 -1 At 90% of Vbr 55 Peak-to-peak T=25C Notes: 2 Min Optical Wavelength between 1525-1575nm.

Although implementation of a current limit is intuitive, it is not recommended as biasing below the specified M = 3 voltage in the presence of a high optical power has been shown to cause device damage. Class 2 ESD precautions must be observed when handling these devices.
