Oki Electric Industry Co. Ltd of Japan has come up with an IC with the world’s smallest footprints. The ‘KGL5115KD’, a 10Gbps EML driver IC for optical communication, can save you a fortune by achieving the world’s lowest power consumption at 0.45W (at 2.3Vpp amplitude).
The current trend for 10Gbps optical communication modules going pluggable, is the main cause for introduction of smaller, power-saving and cost-effective electronic components that compose optical communication modules. The KGL5115KD is the latest and smartest IC to join the brigade.
The KGL5115KD is a 10Gbps EML driver IC for 10Gbps optical communication. It maintains the high quality wave pattern characteristics of the company’s driver ICs using GaAs PHEMT while operating on a power supply of 3.3V.
It consumes 25% of power as compared to conventional models, thereby achieving a power consumption of 0.45W at an output amplitude of 2.3Vpp which is the lowest in the industry, having the smallest footprint that was achieved using a 4 x 4mm small ceramic package.
The latest release by Oki is a highly-appreciated step which can be of great help in the quest of a cost-effective optical communication modules.
