MS32051 Présentation

The MS32051 is a 4-channel optical array receiver with integrated Clock and Data Recovery (CDR) and Transimpedance Amplifier (TIA), designed for 24Gb/s to 28Gb/s QSFP28-style optical modules. Each of the four channels supports data rates up to 28Gb/s and offers a CDR bypass mode for 10Gb/s non-retimed serial links, enabling mixed-rate QSFP28 deployments. The device is intended for next-generation datacom and telecom line-side optics where high channel density and low power per gigabit are required.

A transimpedance amplifier (TIA) is a current-input, voltage-output analog front-end that converts the small photocurrent from a photodiode or ROSA into a differential voltage suitable for high-speed decision circuits. A Clock and Data Recovery (CDR) block then retimes the signal to a clean reference clock, reducing deterministic jitter accumulated across the optical and electrical paths. Combining the TIA and CDR in a single ASIC (the MS32051 belongs to the IC / integrated circuit taxonomy: optical IC -> transceiver IC -> mixed-signal IC -> semiconductor) allows module designers to drop four receive lanes onto one die, cutting BOM count, board area, and power compared with discrete TIA + CDR designs.

Key features include integrated 4-channel TIA with typical input-referred noise suitable for ROSA modules, on-die CDR supporting 24-28 Gb/s retimed operation, CDR bypass for legacy 10 Gb/s lanes, per-channel loss-of-signal (LOS) indication, and an I²C / 4-wire digital control interface for setup, monitoring, and rate switching. Differential CML-compatible output drivers deliver sub-UI jitter performance required by IEEE 802.3bm / 100GBASE-SR4 links.

Typical applications include QSFP28, QSFP-DD, and CFP-style parallel optical transceivers for data-centre switches, 100G / 400G client-side optics, OTU4 telecom line cards, and breakout 4×10G / 4×25G AOC / AOI assemblies. Placing the MS32051 between the photodiode array and the module's host-side DSP or switch ASIC also reduces clock routing complexity.

When designing with the MS32051, treat the high-speed differential outputs as 100-Ω matched pairs and route them on a continuous reference plane; consult the manufacturer datasheet for thermal-coupling and supply-decoupling guidelines. CDR bypass mode must be selected via the digital interface before low-rate traffic is forwarded to avoid false lock to pattern-dependent edges.

Applications typiques

MS32051 convient pour 6 applications: QSFP28 100G SR4 Optical Modules, QSFP-DD and 400G Breakout Modules, Active Optical Cables (AOC) and AOI Assemblies, OTU4 Telecom Line Cards, Datacenter Top-of-Rack Switch Optics, Test and Measurement Optical Probe Heads.

🖥️

QSFP28 100G SR4 Optical Modules

The MS32051's 4-channel TIA+CDR integration maps directly to the four lanes of a QSFP28 100GBASE-SR4 module, where each lane carries 25 Gb/s NRZ data from a ROSA photodiode array. Each integrated TIA provides the wide-bandwidth amplification required to convert ROSA photocurrent into differential CML, while each on-die CDR recovers a clean clock and retimes the data to remove pattern-dependent jitter before it reaches the module's host connector. With a single IC replacing eight discrete parts, the MS32051 enables power budgets consistent with QSFP28 module maximums and helps maintain the tight eye-mask required by IEEE 802.3bm. The CDR-bypass path supports 4×10 Gb/s legacy links in the same hardware, allowing modules to be firmware-reconfigured between 100G and 40G rate sets.

🖥️

QSFP-DD and 400G Breakout Modules

For QSFP-DD and breakout modules the MS32051's per-lane CDR range of 24-28 Gb/s lines up cleanly with 50G PAM4 building blocks when two lanes are aggregated externally. As a quad receiver, it can serve as the optical front-end for 4×25 Gb/s retimed breakout paths or as the inner quad of an 8×25 Gb/s 200G design with two ICs. The on-die loss-of-signal (LOS) outputs feed directly to the module's microcontroller for fast rate-switch and fault response. Designers value the integrated CDR because it removes 16 distinct high-speed traces (4 TIA-out + 4 CDR-in pairs) from the module PCB.

🌐

Active Optical Cables (AOC) and AOI Assemblies

The MS32051 is well matched to active optical cable (AOC) and active optical input (AOI) assemblies that need a compact, low-power 4-channel optical receiver with retiming. Because AOCs are pre-terminated and pre-tested, deterministic retiming by the integrated CDR helps the cable pass stringent bit-error-rate tests across temperature. CDR-bypass mode lets the same hardware negotiate to 4×10 Gb/s links on legacy 40G switches. The 4-channel density also reduces module weight and BOM count, which matter in high-density top-of-rack cabling.

🌐

OTU4 Telecom Line Cards

OTU4 client optics require 4×28 Gb/s retimed output, exactly the operating envelope of the MS32051's CDR-enabled mode. Telecom-grade modules typically apply the OTU4 frame and FEC in a companion framer, but rely on the receiver for clean clock recovery and deterministic jitter—functions the MS32051 delivers on each lane independently. With CDR-bypass available, a single module type can also serve OTU2/OTU3 10G-handoff ports, simplifying sparing for telecom operators. Always validate the part against your carrier's ITU-T G.709 conformance and wander requirements before deployment.

🖥️

Datacenter Top-of-Rack Switch Optics

Hyperscale datacenter top-of-rack switches use large populations of QSFP28 ports, where 4-channel TIA+CDR arrays like the MS32051 simplify board layout and reduce per-port power. With the MS32051 handling retiming per port, switch ASICs can dedicate their internal resources to traffic policing and queueing rather than signal conditioning. CDR-bypass allows mixed 25G and 10G server uplinks without changing module hardware, easing transition from 10G to 25G server fabrics. Combined with the per-channel LOS, the switch's baseboard management can quickly identify failing optics.

🔧

Test and Measurement Optical Probe Heads

High-speed optical probe heads in T&M equipment benefit from the MS32051's integrated TIA+CDR because they can deliver retimed, low-jitter electrical outputs to the instrument's BERT or oscilloscope. With four lanes on one die, a single probe head can capture aggregate 100 Gb/s traffic while staying inside a compact enclosure with limited heat dissipation. The independent LOS outputs double as the optical-loss alarm for the instrument frontend. Designers should use the I²C/4-wire interface to set per-channel equalizer taps and verify compliance margin during manufacturing test.

What is the MS32051?
The MS32051 is a 4-channel array receiver IC integrating a Transimpedance Amplifier (TIA) and Clock and Data Recovery (CDR) on each lane, designed for QSFP28-style optical modules running 24-28 Gb/s retimed or up to 10 Gb/s in CDR-bypass mode. According to the manufacturer's product brief, all four channels share a single die to minimize board area in parallel optical modules. It falls under the broader category of optical mixed-signal ICs used in datacom and telecom receivers.
What data rates does the MS32051 support?
The MS32051 supports 24 Gb/s to 28 Gb/s per channel with CDR enabled, and up to 10 Gb/s per channel when CDR is bypassed via the digital configuration interface. This dual-rate capability lets QSFP28 modules carry 4×25 Gb/s retimed links or fall back to 4×10 Gb/s legacy optical data paths. The CDR locking range and bypass latency are specified in the manufacturer datasheet.
What is the difference between the MS32051 TIA and CDR blocks?
The TIA section converts photocurrent from each ROSA photodiode into a differential voltage with sufficient gain and bandwidth, while the CDR block retimes that amplified waveform against a clean reference clock to reduce deterministic jitter. In the MS32051 the two stages are integrated per channel, eliminating inter-stage board traces and lowering jitter. When the CDR is bypassed, the signal passes straight from the TIA output stage to the module's host-side pins.
Does the MS32051 require CDR in 10G mode?
No, the MS32051 supports a CDR bypass mode specifically for up to 10 Gb/s non-retimed serial links. According to the manufacturer datasheet, the bypass path is configured through the device's digital interface (typically I²C or 4-wire) before low-rate traffic is forwarded. Bypassing CDR at 25G would damage signal integrity; use it only at 10G-style data rates.
What optical modules use the MS32051?
The MS32051 is designed for QSFP28-style optical modules, including 100G SR4 / LR4 / ER4 designs and 4×10G / 4×25G breakout modules that need programmable per-channel rates. It also fits QSFP-DD, AOC, and AOI designs that benefit from a 4-lane TIA+CDR combo. Always confirm with the manufacturer's reference design before using it in CFP or CFP2 modules.
Where can I download the MS32051 datasheet PDF?
The MS32051 datasheet PDF should be requested directly from the manufacturer (MACOM Technology Solutions, formerly Microsemi) or via an authorized distributor. According to typical practice for optical ICs, the document includes block diagrams, electrical tables, timing specifications, and a recommended reference design for QSFP28 modules. Direct your request to your MACOM or distributor field application engineer for the latest revision.
What is the pinout of the MS32051?
The MS32051 pinout is defined in the manufacturer's datasheet, which lists each TIA input pin, CDR output pair, supply pin, ground pin, and configuration pin. Because no public pinout table was available in the verified data at the time of verification, designers should consult the official datasheet for the exact ball map of the production package. Save the schematic reference design from the manufacturer for signal-integrity ruling.
How does the MS32051 compare with a discrete TIA + standalone CDR?
The MS32051 integrates four TIAs and four CDRs on a single die, which typically reduces board area by 40-60% versus two discrete ICs per lane and lowers the bill-of-materials count by half. Integration also minimizes the inter-stage trace length between the TIA output and CDR input, which historically limits jitter on long PCBs. A discrete solution can sometimes win on individual-stage optimization but at the cost of power, area, and BOM.
Can the MS32051 replace an Inphi or Semtech 25G receiver?
Pin-compatibility between the MS32051 and competing 25G TIA+CDR arrays from Inphi (now Marvell), Semtech, or Maxim is not guaranteed, because each vendor uses a proprietary ball map and feature set even when the function is similar. Before substituting, the alternative part's datasheet must be cross-checked for input-referred noise, CDR jitter, LOS behavior, and register map. Treat any cross-brand swap as a board re-spin, not a drop-in replacement.
When should I choose the MS32051 over a 4-channel TIA-only array?
Choose the MS32051 when your QSFP28-class module needs retimed output with deterministic jitter performance, especially at 25-28 Gb/s where un-retimed signals often fail IEEE 802.3bm masks. Choose a TIA-only array when the host ASIC already includes its own CDR or when extremely low power is mandatory and retiming is acceptable in firmware elsewhere. The integrated CDRs in the MS32051 trade some extra mW per lane for cleaner eye diagrams on the host pins.
Is the MS32051 in stock and where can I buy it?
Stock and lead-time information for the MS32051 must be checked with authorized distributors such as DigiKey, Mouser, or directly with MACOM Technology Solutions (which acquired Microsemi). For newly released optical ICs the lead time is often quoted rather than listed, so request a formal quote for accurate pricing as of 2026-10-20. Authorized stocking distributors typically carry production-qualified parts in tray or tape-and-reel.
What is the price of the MS32051?
The MS32051 is a 4-channel high-speed optical IC, so per-unit pricing is typically quoted in OEM volumes rather than listed as a fixed distributor price. As of 2026-10-20, MOQ pricing should be requested from MACOM or its authorized distributors, and volume tier pricing usually drops materially above 1k pieces. For budget planning, optical IC arrays of this class commonly range in the tens of USD per unit at modest volumes.
What is the lead time for the MS32051?
Lead time for the MS32051 is quote-dependent and varies with order volume, packaging option, and current wafer-fab allocation at MACOM. As of 2026-10-20, prototype samples are usually available within 4-8 weeks and production orders within 12-16 weeks once the part is released. Always confirm lead time in writing with the manufacturer or its authorized channel before committing to a production schedule.
Does the MS32051 support OTU4 telecom applications?
The MS32051 supports 24-28 Gb/s retimed operation per lane, which covers the OTU4 (4×28 Gb/s) client-side telecom use case as well as 4×25 Gb/s 100G datacom links. With CDR bypass the part handles 4×10 Gb/s OTU2 / 10GbE legacy traffic in the same module. Confirm jitter, wander, and forward-error-correction tolerance against ITU-T G.709 with the manufacturer's telecom-grade characterization report before deploying.
What are the key specifications of the MS32051 that engineers should know?
The MS32051 integrates four TIAs and four CDRs, supports 24-28 Gb/s retimed data per lane, supports up to 10 Gb/s per lane in CDR-bypass mode, targets QSFP28-style modules, and offers per-channel LOS plus an I²C / 4-wire control interface. Channel density of 4 lanes in one die is the headline feature for QSFP28, QSFP-DD, and AOC modules. Differential CML outputs are designed for 100-Ω routing on standard FR-4 with the recommended stack-up.
What is the best equivalent for the MS32051?
The best functional equivalent to the MS32051 is any 4-channel 25 Gb/s TIA+CDR array from Semtech, Inphi (Marvell), or Maxim Integrated that supports CDR-bypass to 10 Gb/s, provided the target module's reference design matches the alternative's ball map. Pin-to-pin drop-in substitutes for the MS32051 are not generally marketed because each vendor uses a proprietary footprint, so plan for a board re-spin when switching. Functional alternatives exist; drop-in ones do not, in most cases.

Guide de sélection

Choose the MS32051 when your QSFP28, QSFP-DD breakout, or AOC design needs four lanes of integrated TIA+CDR retiming at 24-28 Gb/s, with a CDR-bypass fallback to 10 Gb/s. It is the right choice when board area, BOM simplification, and per-channel LOS summary diagnostics are higher priorities than absolute lowest per-lane power. Choose MS32050 when the module targets lower data rates where a CDR is unnecessary. Choose MS32052 if a higher speed grade is now available and within your timeline. Designers who only need TIA-only arrays can consider competitor parts such as a Semtech 4-channel TIA, but they will need a separate CDR per lane and accept added board space.

Principaux différenciateurs

  • Integrated CDR per lane enables retimed 25-28 Gb/s output without external retimers (vs MS32050)
  • CDR-bypass mode supports legacy 10 Gb/s modules in the same hardware (vs MS32052)
  • Quad-channel integration reduces BOM count and inter-stage trace length (vs MS32050)

Notes de conception

Route the four TIA inputs and four CDR outputs as 100-Ω differential pairs on a continuous reference plane to limit impedance discontinuities. Each differential pair should be length-matched within 0.1 mm of its lane-mates to keep intra-module skew well below one UI at 28 Gb/s. A recommended PCB stack-up is documented in the manufacturer's reference design and should be followed verbatim for first-pass success.

Decouple each supply pin with its own 100 nF X7R capacitor placed as close to the ball as possible; add a bulk 1 µF / 10 µF bypass per voltage domain within 5 mm. Switching transients from the CDR's internal PLL can alias into the analog front-end if supplies are shared without ferrite beads. Keep noisy switching converters away from the IC's analog supply pin and its corresponding ground return.

Do not enable CDR-bypass mode while running 25 Gb/s traffic - the bypass path lacks the high-bandwidth decision circuit needed at that rate, and the eye diagram will fail IEEE 802.3bm masks. Always select the operating mode (retimed 25G vs. bypassed 10G) via the digital interface before sending real traffic, and verify with BERT that LOS reads clean on each lane. Estimated: assuming BER target 1e-12 across 4 lanes at 28 Gb/s, expect < 1 LOS toggle per 24 hours under nominal fiber conditions.

The MS32051 dissipates non-trivial power because each lane runs both a TIA and a CDR. In a sealed QSFP28 housing, ensure the module PCB thermal vias under the package reach the housing heatsink for proper airflow coupling. Use the manufacturer's derating curve if the module will operate above 70 °C case temperature, as the CDR's jitter performance degrades with temperature. Estimated: each TIA+CDR lane is expected to consume ~250-350 mW, so the full quad is ~1.0-1.4 W before supplies.
