Very interesting, indeed. I take it that NT's reference to "old world routers" was aimed squarely at CSCO's ongoing denigrating remarks about old world PSTN constructs. Poetic justice? Talk about turning the tables...

(COMTEX) B: ANADIGICS 3 Volt MSM-TIA Advances Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel Applications NICE, France, Sep 28, 1999 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Integrated photodetector and pre-amplifier offers exceptional sensitivity with low power dissipation for new fiber-optic data communication systems. ANADIGICS has announced the AMT128503 MSM-TIA for use in 850-nm Gigabit Ethernet (1.250 Gb/s) and Fibre Channel (1.064 Gb/s) applications. The AMT128503 front-end receiver operates from a +3.3 V supply (+/- 5%) and offers system designers high sensitivity, high responsivity, low power consumption and a minimum bandwidth of 1000 MHz. The AMT128503 is a monolithically integrated metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) diode and transimpedance amplifier (TIA) that is used in the front end of a fiber-optic communication system to convert optical signals into electrical pulses. The device exhibits a typical sensitivity of -22 dBm and a minimum responsivity of 1000 V/W with a total power dissipation of about 120 mW, making it a significant advance in support of new fiber-optic receiver designs. Rated for operation over the commercial temperature range of 0 to 70 degrees C, the device also features an on-chip automatic gain control (AGC) circuit enabling the device to handle high optical input powers up to 0 dBm. "This new MSM-TIA's impressive specifications demonstrate how ANADIGICS' GaAs devices support existing fiber-optic systems as well as enable emerging fiber-optic advancements," observes Phil Wallace, Vice President of Fiber Communication Products, ANADIGICS, Inc. "The wide bandwidth and superior sensitivity of the AMT128503 permits more margin in the overall receiver design, allowing high line yields for our customers, and great system uptime performance." The AMT128503 is available as a TO-46 flat window or ball lens package, and is priced at $10 in quantities of 1,000 units. Samples of the AMT128503 are available. The devices are manufactured at the Company's state-of-the-art facility in New Jersey and are 100% RF & optically tested before shipping. For additional information on this new product, contact ANADIGICS by phone (908) 668-5000 or FAX (908) 668-5132. ANADIGICS designs and manufactures radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) solutions for growing broadband and wireless communications markets. The Company's innovative high frequency RFICs enable manufacturers of communications equipment to enhance overall system performance, manufacturing cost, and time to market. By utilizing state-of-the-art manufacturing processes for its RFICs, ANADIGICS achieves the high-volume, and cost-effective products required by leading companies in its targeted high-growth communications markets.
