GigOptix has leveraged its extensive mixed signal experience in high volume parallel optics devices to combine advanced RF analog circuit techniques that reduce power consumption with integrated on-chip Analog-to-Digital Convertors (ADC) and Digital-to-Analog Convertors (DAC) to enable a fully digitally controlled TOSA and ROSA. Our integrated architecture significantly simplifies the design of an optical transceiver such as an SFP+ transceiver by eliminating all analog and RF circuits from the PCB. The elimination of RF analog interfaces improves performance and reduces both power consumption and EMI within the transceiver. In addition, the integrated architecture drives down costs while significantly reducing the Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) schedule. The introduction of the SMART ROSA and TOSA further reinforces GigOptix's position as the industry leader of high speed ICs and Multi-Chip-Modules (MCMs) by enabling customers a seamless and low cost deployment using the company's "plug and play" components.
