Discovery Semiconductors Introduces New Surface Mount Packaging to its Industry Leading Product Line


Ewing, NJ - August 27, 2010

Discovery Semiconductors Inc. introduces a new surface mount package to its industry leading product line of optical receivers. This small form factor module with a coplanar waveguide RF output utilizes Discovery's high-reliability InGaAs photodiodes.

The versatile design of the miniature package allows Discovery to offer its wide variety of devices in this same cost effective footprint. Mr. Jim Rue, Discovery's Manager of High Speed Receivers, commented, "Our surface mount technology will be easier to integrate into end-user’s board electronics due to its size and lack of a bulky coaxial RF connector without sacrificing performance."

Mr. Abhay Joshi, President & CEO of Discovery Semiconductors added, “As the demand in different markets, such as avionics and telecommunications, emerge it is imperative to offer a flexible and easy to use solution to ensure the ideal customer experience.”



Discovery Semiconductors is an industry leader in manufacturing ultrafast, high optical power handling InGaAs photodiodes, radio frequency over fiber optical receivers, balanced optical receivers and several other custom products for applications ranging from analog RF links to ultrafast digital communications. Discovery's subsystems include Kitty Hawk, an ultra-fast Optical Coherent System.
