iT5082 12.5 Gb/s Modulator Driver Amplifier
Description
The iT5082 is general-purpose modulator driver designed for NRZ communication systems operating up to 12.5 Gb/s. The driver is typically used to amplify a data signal between a MUX and an optical modulator. With its wide output amplitude adjustment range, the iT5082 is capable of driving Electro Absorption (EA), semiconductor MachZehnder, and LiNbO3 modulators. Additional features include eye cross point adjustability, internal power sequencing circuitry and filtering, a bias port to apply a DC level to the output port, and the ability to apply a dither tone to amplitude-modulate the output data. This feature is critical for traditional modulator bias control loops.
