ITerra Intros NRZ-to-RZ Chips

FREMONT, Calif. -- iTerra Communications LLC., the drivers behind optical communications and the leading supplier of Smart Broadband Semiconductors, announced today the availability of iTH10-4000 non- return-to-zero (NRZ) return-to-zero (RZ) converter. iTerra's new chipset electronically converts an NRZ input signal into an RZ output signal which is then directly amplified by one of iTerra's modulator drivers for use in OC-192 long haul and ultra long haul fiber optic networks requiring high quality signals. The iTH10-4000 supports data rates of up to 12.5Gb/s with superior eye diagram quality and a power dissipation of less than 1.5W. iTerra's chipset delivers industry leading performance requiring an input voltage of only 500mV to deliver a single ended data output voltage of 8Vpp. "iTerra Communications continuously strives to offer the optimal solution to the customer," said Paolo Tabacco, Vice President of Engineering at iTerra. "With the iTH10-4000's excellent jitter and rise and fall time specs, this is an ideal device for the long haul and ultra long haul market. When paired with an iTerra driver, this provides a complete RZ driver solution to the customer." iTerra Communications LLC
