With the rapid development of 5G communication and data center, optical transceiver is evolving towards high speed, miniaturization, and integration. This trend easily leads to a significant increase in the power consumption of each component of the optical module, and the operating temperature will also increase. In order to reduce the influence of temperature on the signal transmission stability and bit error rate of optical transceiver, EXSENSE Electronics recommends adding NTC chip for temperature monitoring to ensure the safe operation of optical transceiver.

Considering the accuracy of temperature monitoring, EXSENSE Electronics recommends the use of DT series gold electrode NTC chip for optical transceiver:

△ High accuracy, even small junction temperature changes of optical transceiver can be accurately monitored, ensuring the stable collection of temperature information;

△ Excellent consistency, so that the gold electrode bare chip is not susceptible to environmental factors, escorting the signal transmission of optical transceiver;

△ Faster response, efficiently speed up the internal temperature measurement process of the optical transceiver, and ensuring the sensitivity of temperature data acquisition;

△ Small size (up to 0.32mm*0.32mm), saving more space for the assembly of optical transceiver.

Why is the optical transceiver inseparable from gold electrode NTC chip?

1. Real-time temperature monitoring and dynamic control

If the heat generated by the optical transceiver cannot be reduced in time, the laser wavelength will drift and even cause the optical power to attenuate. By integrating the gold electrode NTC chip into the substrate and linking it with the TEC for dynamic cooling, the operation of the optical module is stabilized within a safe range and the heat dissipation efficiency is significantly improved.

2. Thermal management optimization and energy efficiency improvement

During the operation of the optical transceiver, the real-time temperature monitoring of the gold electrode NTC chip and the cooling treatment of the control module can effectively reduce the overall power consumption of the optical module. Therefore, when facing extreme temperature environment, the energy efficiency ratio of optical transceiver using NTC can be improved.

The temperature sensing of the gold electrode NTC chip in the optical transceiver is well suited to the dual needs of the optical transceiver for stable operation and improved efficiency. Especially in the context of 5G communication and data center putting forward higher requirements for power consumption and heat dissipation of optical transceiver, gold electrode NTC chip has become a key technology node to ensure the reliability of data transmission of optical transceiver.
