• High sensitivity, -16.5 dBm
• 1200–1650 nm wavelength range
• AC or DC coupled
• MSA 17-pin package
Product Bulletin (Preliminary) • June 2007
The
PT-15SFA
is a -16 dBm sensitivity,
differential-output receiver module for
OC-192 / STM-64 transmission system
receive applications up to 15 Gb/s,
providing overhead room for Forward
Error Correction algorithms.
It couples a high responsivity (0.7 A/W),
back-illuminated PIN photodiode,
usable from 1200 nm to 1650 nm, with a
transimpedance gain stage of 850
Ω.
This
combination produces a receiver with a
12.3 GHz bandwidth and conversion gain
of 700 V/W.
The differential-output module is
offered in a 17-pin MSA package with
single-mode fiber input and the output
is available either AC- or DC-coupled.
The receiver meets Telcordia GR-468
qualification standards.

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