30 kHz To 20 GHz GaAs MMIC Optical Modulator Driver Amplifier
Click here to download the datasheet in pdf format.
The CMM3020-BD is a precision GaAs MMIC, medium power amplifier and is part of Celeritek's family of WideFiber™ products.
The CMM3020-BD optical driver amplifier gives fiber optic system designers a unique combination of wideband frequency coverage, along with a flat response and very low internal jitter. It is a precision Ion/Implanted GaAs RF IC medium power amplifier with +23 dBm @ P1dB (Typ). It operates from 30 kHz to 20 GHz with a 10 dB linear gain. Low internal jitter makes it especially well suited for high speed digital data applications. Typical output voltage is 7.5 V peak-to-peak.
It is an excellent choice for driving Lithium Niobate external optical modulators, where a high extinction ratio is necessary. Targeted for OC-192 and other high speed applications, the bit rate can be as high as 15 Gb/s. The bias voltage can be adjusted to reduce the output voltage as needed.
CMM3020-BD amplifiers are shipped in Gel Pack from Celeritek's foundry.
