PT-10E
• High sensitivity, -20 dBm
Product Bulletin (Preliminary) • January 2003
• Differential-output PIN/TIA receiver
• High data rate, up to 10.7 Gb/s
• 1200–1650 nm wavelength range
• Compact butterfly package
• Dual coplanar output
The
PT-10E
is a -20 dBm sensitivity
receiver module for OC-192 / STM-64
transmission system receive applications
up to 10.7 Gb/s. It couples a high
responsivity (1 A/W), back-illuminated
PIN photodiode, usable from 1200 nm to
1650 nm, with an internal transimpedance
gain stage of 1600 V/A. This combination
produces a receiver with a 8.5 GHz band-
width and conversion gain of 1500 V/W.
The differential-output module is available
with a coplanar waveguide package with
single-mode fiber input. The receiver
meets Telcordia GR-468 qualification
standards.

Application Notes
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) will cause permanent
damage to the product. Please avoid any ESD to the
input pins or output connector. Use standard ESD
protective equipment when handling this product.
Temperature and fiber restrictions are as follows:
Lead soldering: 250°C for no more than 10 seconds
Fiber feed-through tube: 120°C
Fiber pull force: 10 N
Fiber bending radius: 1 inch or less
Exceeding these conditions can cause permanent
damage to the device.
