Xignal Technologies Releases Groundbreaking VCSEL-Driver Design for Single-Package Hybrids

Munich, Germany (ots)

Release Signals Launch of New High-Speed Input/Output Product Line
Xignal Technologies AG, a leading IP
solutions provider for the communications semiconductor industry,
today announced the release of its XT16700 10 Gigabit per second
(Gb/s) Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) Driver. The
product, which provides the lowest power consumption in the industry,
makes possible a first- ever single-package VCSEL/VCSEL-driver hybrid
design in the industry.
Xignal's XT16700 VCSEL-driver design is ideal for a number of
applications, including 10 Gb/s Very Short Reach (VSR) optical
modules, intra-system links, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Fibre
Channel and optical backplanes. By integrating the purely CMOS-based
driver into the VCSEL housing, the device removes design constraints
and improves signal integrity, thus allowing for longer link
distances and reduced manufacturing and equipment design costs.
"Xignal is proud to announce a driver which allows the creation of
a new class of active optical devices," said Holger Hoeltke, Vice
President of Marketing at Xignal. "We are committed to continuing to
release highly sophisticated, yet easy to integrate designs
representing the best of breed in the industry."
The Xignal XT16700 product is a serial 10 Gb/s driver designed to
match VCSEL diodes with different input impedances. It exhibits a
power consumption of only 50 mW if connected to a VCSEL diode. Due to
the highly programmable nature of the product, the XT16700 ensures an
optimized optical output signal at a number of common anode and
cathode type VCSELs. The VCSEL driver is available as a single
channel as well as a four-channel version upon the customer's
request.
