PT-12B
• PIN/TIA receiver
• 62.5 µm multimode fiber
input with SC or FC
Product Bulletin (Preliminary) • April 2004
• High data rate, up to 12.5 Gb/s
• Broad wavelength range, 750–1650 nm
• High sensitivity, -15 dBm @ 850 nm
• SMA or GPO output connector
The
PT-12B
is a single-output receiver
module for 12.5 Gb/s short wavelength
applications. It couples a high responsivity
(0.95 A/W), front-illuminated PIN photo-
diode, usable from 750 nm to 1650 nm,
with an internal transimpedance gain stage
of 475 V/A. This combination produces a
receiver with a 9.5 GHz bandwidth and a
conversion gain of 450 V/W at 1310 nm.
The single-coaxial output module is
available with either an SMA or GPO
output connector in a compact, 8-pin
butterfly package with multimode fiber
input.

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: 250ºC for no more than 10 seconds
Fiber feed-through tube: 120ºC
Fiber pull force: 10 N
Fiber bending radius: 1 inch or less
Exceeding these conditions can cause permanent
damage to the device.
