The CX60083 is an ideal device for high-speed fiber-optic module manufacturers. The 10 Gbps limiting amplifier is one of the industry’s first devices to provide integrated loss-of-signal and peak-detect circuits in a high-speed, compact, 32-pin plastic TQFP. Providing the correct mix of gain and dynamic range, the CX60083 lets designers build fiber-optic modules with stable characteristics, even at data rates of 10.7 Gbps.
