AD8015ARZ-REEL7 is a wide bandwidth, single supply transimpedance amplifier from Analog Devices optimized for use in fiber optic receiver circuits. It is a complete, single-chip solution for converting photodiode current into a differential voltage output.[reference:0][reference:1]
The AD8015ARZ-REEL7 features a 240 MHz bandwidth, enabling applications in FDDI receivers and SONET/SDH receivers with data rates up to 155 Mbps. This high bandwidth supports data rates beyond 300 Mbps.[reference:2][reference:3] The differential outputs can drive ECL directly, or drive a comparator/fiber optic post amplifier.[reference:4][reference:5]
In addition to fiber optic applications, this low cost, silicon alternative to GaAs-based transimpedance amplifiers is ideal for systems requiring a wide dynamic range preamplifier or single-ended to differential conversion.[reference:6][reference:7] The IC can be used with a standard ECL power supply (-5.2 V) or a PECL (+5 V) power supply; the common mode at the output is ECL compatible.[reference:8][reference:9] The AD8015ARZ-REEL7 is available in an 8-lead SOIC package and is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C.[reference:10][reference:11]
Wide Bandwidth 240 MHz bandwidth supports data rates up to 155 Mbps (and beyond 300 Mbps) for high-speed fiber optic communication.
