A Nokia sale of mobile, especially to the US, would be nuts
Nokia's hiring of Intel's Justin Hotard to be its new CEO has set tongues wagging again about a mobile exit, but it would look counterintuitive and inadvisable.
Introduces the MTC5529, a high-performance, very small form-factor 12.5-Gbit/s non-return-to-zero modulator driver
February 11, 2002
SOMERSET, N.J. -- Multilink Technology Corporation (MLTC) , a leading provider of advanced semiconductor-based solutions that accelerate the deployment of high-speed optical networks, today introduced the MTC5529, the industry's first high performance, very small form factor 12.5 Gb/s Non-Return-to-Zero (NRZ) Modulator Driver (MDR). Using Multilink's unique Micro-Module(TM) technology, this low power, extremely low jitter MDR is in a small form factor (16 x 16 x 1.8 mm) Ball Grid Array (BGA) package. The MTC5529 provides a 75 percent reduction in effective board area utilization compared to standard MDR's currently available in the market. Additionally, by using the MTC5529, customers can substantially reduce the time and cost required for integrating the driver onto their board during the manufacturing process. "This is the first product using our Micro-Module(TM) technology which allows Multilink to incorporate several highly-sophisticated integrated circuits into an easy-to-install BGA package," said Dr. Richard N. Nottenburg, President, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Chairman. "We're moving our leading-edge technologies of previously announced Multilink modules onto a new packaging platform which dramatically reduces power, size, and cost for lithium niobate-based fiber optic transmission."
