Analog Devices Intros ICs

NORWOOD, Mass. -- Analog Devices Inc. (NYSE: ADI), a global leader in high-performance semiconductors for signal processing applications, today introduced five integrated circuit solutions, expanding the company's extensive family of products for optical networking applications. These new transmit/receive and monitoring/control IC solutions provide important design alternatives for the development of components and modules for optical network systems. Analog Devices will demonstrate the new ICs at the Optical Fiber Communication Conference on March 25 - 27, 2003 in Atlanta, Georgia. "Analog Devices has underscored its commitment to the optical networking OEMs with a host of new signal processing IC solutions," said Peter Real, product line director, High Speed Networking Group, Analog Devices. "We strive to deliver innovative and high-performance technology that helps solve our customers' engineering challenges. These new ICs increase performance and integration while reducing space and power requirements, to meet the challenges of advanced fiber optic network design." The new ICs for transmit and receive applications include the ADN2812, a continuous tuning clock and data recovery IC, and the ADN2849/59 10.7 Gbps external modulators. The new ICs for monitoring and control applications include the ADN8820 single-chip, continuous wave (CW) laser controller, the ADN2860 three-channel, non-volatile, digital potentiometer and the ADL5306 logarithmic converter for measuring optical power signal levels.
