Description
The 2609C is a packaged impedance-matched photodiode module with internal gain designed for use in optical broadband receivers in fiber-optic networks. The patented impedance-match technology results in improved gain-bandwidth product compared to external circuits due to control of parasitics between the photodiode and the impedance-matching circuit.

Features
■ 1 GHz flat response, ±0.5 dB
■ High responsivity:
   — >0.85 A/W at 1310 nm
   — 0.95 A/W at 1550 nm
■ Internal current gain, 6 dB (typ.)
■ 75 Ω impedance-matched

Applications
■ Extended bandwidth, broadband CATV receivers
