Laser Driver Chip Set Provides First Comprehensive Solution for SFP+ Transceiver Sep 9, 2008

CAMARILLO, California - Vitesse Semiconductor Corporation (Pink Sheets: VTSS), a leader in advanced ICs for Carrier and Enterprise networks, announced today the VSC7985 and VSC7986, the latest members of Vitesse’s industry leading 10 Gbps laser driver family. The VSC7985 and VSC7986 are optimized for use in SFP+ optical transceivers, but provide the flexibility for use in XFP and Xenpak optical modules, and even dense parallel-optic line cards. As a chipset, the new direct-modulated laser diode (DML) drivers are designed to meet the stringent power requirements of 8 Gpbs Fibre Channel as well as 10G Ethernet and SONET/SDH fiber networks. As a single chip, the VSC7985 can be used as a VCSEL driver for short-reach optical applications.
