a recommended operating temperature range of
–40 ºC to 85 ºC
■ Sensitivity: –9dBm for BER 10
–12
■ Low power consumption: 115mW/channel
(<10 pJ per bit)
Configurations
■ 4TRX (40G, full duplex)
■ 12TX or 12RX (120G, half duplex)
Applications
■ High-throughput communication satellites

Radiation-resistant,
low-SWaP,
multichannel optical
transceivers for space
applications
The
Space
ABLE 10G SL Series radiation-
resistant onboard embedded optical
transmitter and receiver modules offer
radiation hardness, robustness, longevity,
and high I/O density.
The
Space
ABLE
®
line of products with their intrinsic radiation
resistance, are well suited to provide optical interconnect within
space vehicles. These devices are extremely rugged and deliver
bandwidth in excess of 120 Gbps in a chip size part.
The
Space
ABLE 10G SL Series radiation resistant transceivers
are engineered to withstand radiation doses >100krad (Si). The
low prole
Space
ABLE 10G SL Series screw-in module mounts
to the board via an LGA connector (interposer). It is offered
as a (4+4)-lane transceiver, a 12-channel transmitter, or a
12-channel receiver. All modules operate at 10.3125 Gbps per
channel over a recommended operating temperature range of
–40 ºC to 85 ºC at ultra-low bit error rates of 10
-12
.
The optical module includes equalizers and pre-emphasis to
compensate long traces; these features can be turned off for
short traces (less than 10 cm) to reduce power consumption.
