Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC7150LP3DE is a broadband driver amplifier for electro-absorption modulated
lasers (EML) and supports data-rates up to 28.3Gbps to meet the 100Gb Ethernet
system requirements. The part provides the module designers scalable power
dissipation for varying drive voltage characteristics of different modulators and the
power consumption of the module can be set as low as 0.12W to 0.5W at 1.5Vpp and
2.3Vpp outputs amplitudes, respectively. The HMC7150LP3DE supports wide range of
supply voltages from 3.3V to 6V and delivering excellent time domain performance.
The output amplitude and cross-point can be adjusted via control pins. The input and
output are 50 Ohms matched and used AC coupled. The HMC7150LP3DE is in
compact leadless 3x3mm surface mountable package.
