SCD12000 Rev A
DESCRIPTION
Aeroflex Plainview driver amplifiers are designed for use in fiber
optic, telecommunication and automated test equipment
applications. These high gain/low power amplifiers are perfect for
driving lithium niobate (LiNbO3) modulators at levels up to
8Vp-p and provide low jitter and minimized propagation delay,
making them an excellent choice for OC-192/STM-64 (SONET)
systems.
Telcordia TR-NWT-930 Tested (Report available on request)
FEATURES
❑Less than 3 Watt power consumption for 6.5Vp-p out
❑50KHz to 15GHz
❑Low internal jitter and minimized propagation delay
❑Output voltage adjustable from 4 to 8Vp-p
❑35dB typical gain
❑Limiting function to ensure high quality output signal,
even with less than optimal input signal
