Company description: Capella Microsystems is a fabless design company for high-speed, highly-integrated photonic Dealing with light (photons). See photon and photonics. devices for CD/DVD optical storage, gigabit Ethernet An Ethernet standard that transmits at 1 Gbps. Used mostly to connect high-end workstations and servers as well as for network backbones, Gigabit Ethernet transmits full duplex from point to point using switches and half duplex in a shared environment (CSMA/CD) using a hub. fiber optics fiber optics, transmission of digitized messages or information by light pulses along hair-thin glass fibers. Each fiber is surrounded by a cladding having a high index of refractance so that the light is internally reflected and travels the length of the fiber , IrDA, and optical sensors. Capella Microsystems is the first company to ever integrate a photodiode A light sensor (photodetector) that allows current to flow in one direction from one side to the other when it absorbs photons (light). The more light, the more the current. Used to detect light pulses in optical fibers and other light-sensitive applications, it works the opposite of a and a transimpedence amplifier (PDIC PDIC Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation PDIC Professional Diving Instructors Corporation PDIC Parkinson's Disease Information Center PDIC Program Installations by Classification Document PDIC Palestine Development and Investment Company ) into a single CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) Pronounced "c-moss." The most widely used integrated circuit design. It is found in almost every electronic product from handheld devices to mainframes. package. The first application of this PDIC was the CD/DVD storage market where it replaced discrete parts and traditional BiPolar (1) See bipolar transmission. (2) One of two major categories of transistor; the other is "field effect transistor" (FET). Although the first transistors and first silicon chips were bipolar, most chips today are field effect transistors wired as CMOS logic, which products. With success of PDICs in the optical storage market, Capella hopes to continue integrating its PDIC technology. This core PDIC technology can also be applied to a variety of applications including fiber optics, infrared, and mechanical sensing. Capella's goal is to penetrate these markets and provide innovation and integration. The company was founded in 1996 and is headquartered in Sunnyvale, Calif. with offices in Beijing and Taipei.
