The ZL60101 and ZL60102 together make a high
speed transmitter/receiver pair for parallel fiber
applications.
The ZL60101 transmitter module converts parallel
electrical input signals via a laser driver and a VCSEL
array into parallel optical output signals at a wavelength
of 850 nm.
The ZL60102 receiver module converts parallel optical
input signals via a PIN photodiode array and a
transimpedance and limiting amplifier into electrical
output signals.
The modules are pluggable each fitted with an industry-
standard MegArray
®
BGA connector. This provides
ease of assembly on the host board and enables
provisioning of bandwidth on demand.
Reliability assurance is based on Telcordia GR-468-
CORE and the parts are compliant to the EU directive
2002/95/EC issued 27 January 2003 [RoHS].
