Formal Specification of a 40GBit/s Sonet/SDH ASIC

Finely divided powders of alkaline earth metal titanates, well suited for the fabrication of, e.g., ceramic resistors and condensers, are facilely prepared by (i) admixing a solution of an alkaline earth metal nitrate with a titanium sol having a pH ranging from 0.8 to 2.5 and which comprises elementary crystallites of TiO2 having particle sizes ranging from 10 to 100 ANGSTROM , agglomerated into submicronic masses having particle sizes ranging from 200 to 1000 ANGSTROM , (ii) next drying the suspension which results, (iii) calcining said dried suspension at a temperature ranging from 700 DEG to 1300 DEG C. for from 30 minutes to 24 hours, under a NOx partial pressure decreasing from 1 to 0, and then (iv) optionally grinding the powder resulting from said step (iii).
