MACOM's Chipset Solution Successfully Implemented in 100Gbps QSFP
Modules and Active Optical Cables
LOWELL, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc. ("MACOM") (NASDAQ: MTSI), a leading
supplier of high-performance analog, RF, microwave and optical
semiconductor products, announced that their new MALD-37045, a four
channel 25.78G/28.05G VCSEL driver featuring an integrated Clock Data
Recovery (CDR) and an equalizer, has been proven as interoperable with
II-VI Incorporated's Vertical-Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers (VCSELs).
Together with the MATA-37044, a companion transimpedance and Limiting
amplifier with CDR, MACOM's latest chipset solution has been implemented
by customers in 100Gbps QSFP Modules and Active Optical Cables as a
complete electronics solution with proven results. These
industry-leading devices consume ultra-low power, making them the ideal
solution for small form-factor applications.

The MALD-37045 and the MATA-37044 both feature CDR functionality for use
as a complete transmit and receive solution for optical modules and
on-board optical engines. The reference-free CDRs in the MALD-37045 and
the MATA-37044 are programmable, retiming at 25.78 Gbps, 27.95 Gbps and
28.05 Gbps. These companion devices have their respective outputs
and inputs spaced on 250 µm centers to maintain compatibility with
standard optical interfaces, and each device can be individually
controlled through the 2-wire serial interface.
The MALD-37045 provides customers with programmable bias and modulation
current, enabling interoperability with variety of VCSEL lasers,
including II-VI's lasers. The MATA-37044 includes a high-sensitivity TIA
with selectable bandwidth to support interoperability with short wave
and long wave photodetectors.
"MACOM is delighted to work with specialized companies like II-VI to
enable customers with a proven, interoperable solution," said Marek
Tlalka, Director of Marketing at MACOM. "Our new chipset expands MACOM's
existing family of CDRs, laser drives and TIA products, and by combining
our expertise in low-power and high-performance semiconductors with
II-VI's established 25.8Gbps VSCELs, we are working to ensure that our
customers get a fully interoperable, best in class solution."
"II-VI is excited to be working with MACOM, a leader in electronics for
optical modules and cables," said Michele Agresti, II-VI Product Line
Manager for Datacom VCSELs. "As a result of this synergy we are able to
provide customers with a reliable, low power and proven solution."
The MALD-37045 and MATA-37044 are optimal one-stop solutions for optical
modules, active optical cables and on board optical engines. They can be
used in 100G Ethernet, EDR InfiniBand and 32G Fibre Channel
applications, providing customers with a low power interoperable
solution required by today's small form-factor optical subassemblies.
The MALD-37045 and MATA-37044 will be shown operating with II-VI VCSELs
in private demonstrations for customers, partners, press and analysts at
CIOE 2015, Booth #1B83, August 31-September 3 in Shenzhen,
China. For more information or to schedule a demonstration, please
