Avago showcases reflow versions of MOST fiber optic transceivers
While existing MOST25 transmitters and receivers are designed for conventional wave soldering, Avago offers the upgraded version for reflow pin-in-paste soldering. Avago is currently developing reflow-capable MOST150 transceivers by applying the technical improvements in material technology and packaging from its MOST25 reflow transceivers. This new capability will help to reduce the manufacturing costs of MOST150 systems. The release date is planned for late summer 2012.
“The reflow versions of our MOST transceivers simplify the manufacturing process for our customers, providing them with significant cost savings,” said Martin Weigert, General Manager of Industrial and Automotive Fiber Product Division at Avago. “We expect this reflow capability will add to the momentum we are seeing from our MOST transceivers with key customers in recent months.”
