TriAccess Technologies, Inc. Introduces First Fiber-to-the-Home Gigabit Passive Optical Networking (GPON/GEPON) RFIC Family for Video ONUs

Posted on: Wednesday, 18 January 2006, 09:00 CST

TOKYO, Jan. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- TriAccess Technologies, Inc. announced today the introduction and availability of the first Fiber-to-the-Home Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit family to meet the high gain demands of GPON and GEPON (Gigabit Passive Optical Network) ONU/ONT video deployments here at FOE (Fiber Optic Expo) 2006. TriAccess has already received its first design wins for its TAT6252 and TAT6254 Series of RFICs and these products are scheduled to ship in pre-production volumes during the second quarter.

"These two new TriAccess RFICs enable system manufacturers to economically address the broad dynamic range requirements to support new GPON/GEPON high split ratios and to provide a combination of analog and digital content through modern digital living room distribution networks," said Chris Day, President and Chief Technology Officer for TriAccess Technologies, Inc. "The strong demand we are seeing for our TAT 625x series of RFICs suggest that these products uniquely meet the high gain and dynamic range requirements of FTTP GPON deployments."

With patent pending designs fabricated in 6-inch Gallium Arsenide pHEMT technology, the driving characteristics of the new TriAccess products include:

-- High Gain and Output: Greater than 30dB gain and 20dBmV/ch output -- Low Equivalent Input Noise: 4pA/rtHz -- Low Distortion: -70dBc even at high levels of optical input -- Configurable for Single 12V Supply: Enables elimination of 5V ONT supply voltage -- Separate High Output: Easily drives a level detector used in RF automatic gain control implementations -- Enhanced GPON Optimization: Low differential input impedance supports a wide range of triplexers and 6dB tilt for advanced RF/digital multimedia distribution

The TAT6252 and TAT6254 round out a family of PON-optimized RFICs, each with unique strengths. The TAT6252 is optimized for low power consumption (700mW), ideal for system designers focusing on power draw, heat, and size, while the TAT6254 provides the flexibility to support a wide range of requirements, including DBS frequencies up to 2150 MHz.

"The breakthrough across all products is being able to reach new heights in gain while maintaining strong noise and distortion fundamentals," said Brian Bauer, Vice President of Marketing at TriAccess Technologies, Inc. Both the TAT6252 and the TAT6254 complement the previously introduced TAT6264 (October 2005) and complete the FTTH product suite. In quantities of 10,000 units, each TAT6252 is priced at $4.00 and each TAT6254 is priced at $4.50.
