The FRM5N144DS and FRM5J144DS have APD or PIN-PD, TIA and MEMS VOA in an industry standard 16 pin butterfly package. The attenuation range of the VOA is 20 dB or more. The overload characteristics have been improved by integrating VOA because VOA controls optical input power level. As a result of this, the receivers have much wider dynamic range (-24 dBm to +6 dBm for APD / TIA and -18 dBm to +10 dBm for PIN / TIA) than current receivers. And these devices are suitable for 10Gb/s WDM applications for linear operation.
