The FTTP network increasingly offers a variety of analog and digital video service options to the home. Meeting the RF requirements at the Optical Network Unit in the cost-sensitive marketplace is more challenging than ever. To help designers meet these challenges, TriAccess has developed a family of RFICs that cost-effectively meet the difficult gain, noise, and distortion requirements of PON systems.
At the core of all TriAccess products is excellent gain and noise characteristics. Today’s GPON access architectures strive to maximize the optical dynamic range and RF output power, which together place difficult requirements on ONT receiver gain. In addition, new multimedia distribution approaches such as MoCa (Multimedia over Coax) require higher levels of RF output to cover an increasing number of terminal devices. The TriAccess family of devices is carefully designed to provide excellent gain, noise and distortion characteristics over the full optical input range. They provide the ONT engineer the critical tools necessary to meet demanding requirements.

The TAT6254C is used throughout the industry in GPON and other RF overlay solutions, excelling in both noise performance and dynamic range. The 6254C has the advantage of providing a wide dynamic range using the right combination of differential transimpedance amplifiers and multiple stage integration. The TAT6254C pinouts provide the flexibility to cost optimize for a variety of applications
The TAT6280 integrates the core performance of the TAT6254C with the AGC gain adjust and RF detector, greatly simplifying the circuit board design.
The TAT6282 is a ultra low power consumption board, building on the foundation of the TAT6254C design. Power consumption drops to well below 1 Watt with the TAT6282.
