2.5-Gbit/s SDH/SONET terminating circuit that uses low-power bipolar LSI technologies and multi-chip module technology

A 2.5-Gbit/s 22-kGate SDH termination circuit has been developed that uses a power-management technique and has a multi-chip module design. Size and power are reduced to 1/10 and 1/6 that of currently available modules.
