P172-Type Receiver is a low-power, high-reliability optical receiver from Agere Systems Inc. It uses the Laser 2000 manufacturing process and has a compact size and easy to install. The application range of this receiver includes long-distance or metro SONET OC-48 and SDH STM-16 or multi-data-rate telecommunications applications, as well as SONET/SDH receivers and transponders.
This document provides an advance data sheet for the Agere P172-Type receiver, which includes both PIN and APD coupled to a single-mode or multimode fiber pigtail. The device features a low-profile 8-lead mini-DIL or gull-wing package suitable for SONET/SDH applications with high noise immunity due to its metal construction.
The datasheet details the absolute maximum ratings, electrical characteristics such as supply voltage and bandwidth, and optical performance metrics including sensitivity and responsivity. It also outlines qualification information based on Telcordia Technologies standards and provides comprehensive ordering information for various detector types and connector configurations.
