KGL4217
10-Gbps GaAs Limiting Amplifier
Introduction
Oki Semiconductor’s KGL4217 Limiting Amplifier IC is designed for 10-Gbps digital communications
systems. This high speed, low-power Limiting Amplifier IC uses 0.2-µm gate length GaAs MESFET and
DCFL (Direct Coupled FET Logic) technologies. The KGL4217 is available as a 24-pin ceramic packaged
device. The high sensitivity of the KGL4217 requires capacitive coupling for input and output signal
interfaces.
