Vitesse Semiconductor
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The VSC7975 and VSC7977 are multirate transimpedance amplifiers for Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and Infiniband applications. The devices provide a means for adjusting their bandwidth to allow full compliance with multiple Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and Infiniband standards. The VSC7975 and VSC7977 are equipped with a single pin that serves both as a control for bandwidth as well as a linear received optical power monitor.
