MACOM enables PAM-4 applications with quad-channel linear driver

The device has differential inputs to provide common-mode rejection and single-ended output to drive industry standard EMLs. The MAOM-003419 is available in a small form factor surface mount package while also integrating the high frequency bias T for the EA modulator.

“The MAOM-003419 is an ideal solution for customers developing EML based PAM-4 transceivers,” said Raymond Moroney, Director of Product Marketing, High Performance Analog, MACOM. “MACOM has achieved excellent performance with our PAM-4 chipset IP, and we believe this product is a great addition to enabling the next generation of 200G and 400G optical connectivity for enterprise and datacenter applications.”
