DESCRIPTION
❏ Less than 3 watt power consumption for 6.5 Vpp out
❏ 50 KHz to 13 GHz
❏ Low internal jitter and minimized propagation delay
❏ Output voltage adjustable from 4.0 to 8.0 Vpp
❏ 35 dB typical gain
❏ Limiting function to ensure high quality output signal,
even with less than optimal input signal
Aeroflex-Plainview driver amplifiers are designed for use in
fiber optic, telecommunication and automated test equipment
applications. These low power amplifiers are perfect for driving
lithium niobate (LiNbO3) modulators at levels up to 8.0Vpp and
provide low jitter and minimized propagation delay, making them
an excellent choice for OC-192/STM-64 (SONET) systems.
