Product Description
The TriQuint TGA4943-SL is a three stage optical
modulator driver amplifier designed to operate at
frequencies that target both the 40 and 100 Gb/s
optical market using an 14.4 x 7 x 2 mm surface
mount system in package (SIP).
The TGA4943-SL consists of three high
performance wideband amplifiers assembled in a
surface mount package combined with a minimum
of off-chip components. A single TGA4943-SL
placed between the MUX and Optical Modulator
provides OEMs with a modulator driver surface
mount solution.
The TGA4943-SL provides Metro and Long Haul
designers with system critical features such as:
low power dissipation, low rail ripple, high voltage
drive capability (3 Vpp amplitude adjustable up to 9
Vpp), low output jitter, and low input drive
sensitivity (0.4 Vpp – 1 Vpp at Vout = 8Vpp).
The TGA4943-SL finish is lead-free. RoHS
compliant. Evaluation boards are available upon
request. Please contact TQS for TGA4943-SL

These ratings represent the maximum operable values for this device. Stresses beyond those listed
under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device and / or affect
device lifetime. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these
conditions is not implied.
Combinations of supply voltage, supply current, input power, and output power shall not exceed the
maximum power dissipation listed in Table IV.
