BRISTOL, U.K. -- Nanotech Semiconductor Limited (“Nanotech”), a fabless IC company specializing in advanced CMOS Analog and Mixed-Signal ICs for fiber optic communications, today announced it has re-formed a highly experienced Physical Media Dependent (‘PMD’) IC design team to assist in the Company’s future high-speed IC developments.
The team first formed in 1997, while working for Multilink Corporation, a pioneer at that time in 10Gbps PMD ICs for Telecommunications applications. Acquired in 2000 by Intel, the team spent a further 8 years designing 10Gb TIAs, Limiting Amplifiers, Laser and VCSEL drivers. These ICs were successfully taken to mass-production in Intel’s 10Gb Fiberoptic modules, with world-leading performance, for example in ‘stressed sensitivity’ in the TIA.
The team became available following the sale of Intel’s fiberoptics group.
