Description
The 1417K4A transceiver is a high-speed, cost-effective optical transceiver intended for 2.488 Gbits/s
shelf-to-shelf optical interconnect applications as well
as SONET SR OC-48 and SDH I-16. The transceiver
features proven Agere Systems’ optics and is packaged in a narrow-width plastic housing with an LC
duplex receptacle. The receptacle fits into an RJ-45
form factor outline. The 10-pin package pinout conforms to a multisource transceiver agreement.
The transmitter features the ability to interface to both
LVPECL and CML differential logic level data inputs.
It also features a TTL logic level disable input. The
receiver features differential CML logic level outputs
and a TTL logic level signal-detect output.

Although protection circuitry is designed into the
device, take proper precautions to avoid exposure to
ESD .
Agere Systems employs a human-body model (HBM)
for ESD susceptibility testing and protection-design
evaluation. ESD voltage thresholds are dependent on
the critical parameters used to define the model. A
standard HBM (resistance = 1.5 kΩ, capacitance =
100 pF) is widely used and, therefore, can be used for
comparison purposes. The HBM ESD threshold established for the 1417K4A transceiver is ±1000 V.
Application Information
The 1417 receiver section is a highly sensitive fiberoptic receiver. Although the data outputs are digital
logic levels (CML), the device should be thought of as
an analog component. When laying out system application boards, the 1417 transceiver should receive the
same type of consideration one would give to a sensitive analog component.
Printed-Wiring Board Layout Considerations
A fiber-optic receiver employs a very high gain, widebandwidth transimpedance amplifier. This amplifier
detects and amplifies signals that are only tens of nA in
amplitude when the receiver is operating near its sensitivity limit. Any unwanted signal currents that couple
into the receiver circuitry cause a decrease in the
receiver's sensitivity and can also degrade the performance of the receiver's signal detect (SD) circuit. To
minimize the coupling of unwanted noise into the
receiver, careful attention must be given to the printedwiring board.
Multilayer construction also permits the routing of sensitive signal traces away from high-level, high-speed
signal lines. To minimize the possibility of coupling
noise into the receiver section, high-level, high-speed
signals such as transmitter inputs and clock lines
should be routed as far away as possible from the
receiver pins.
Noise that couples into the receiver through the power
supply pins can also degrade performance. It is recommended that a pi filter, shown in Figure 3, be used for
both the transmitter and receiver power supplies.
Data and Signal Detect Outputs
Due to the high switching speeds of CML outputs,
transmission line design must be used to interconnect
components. To ensure optimum signal fidelity, both
data outputs (RD+/RD–) should be terminated identically. The signal lines connecting the data outputs to
the next device should be equal in length and have
matched impedances. Controlled impedance stripline
or microstrip construction must be used to preserve the
quality of the signal into the next component and to
minimize reflections back into the receiver, which could
degrade its performance. Excessive ringing due to
reflections caused by improperly terminated signal
lines makes it difficult for the component receiving
these signals to decipher the proper logic levels and
can cause transitions to occur where none were
intended. Also, by minimizing high-frequency ringing,
possible EMI problems can be avoided.
The signal-detect output is positive LVTTL logic. A logic
low at this output indicates that the optical signal into
the receiver has been interrupted or that the light level
has fallen below the minimum signal-detect threshold.
This output should not be used as an error rate indicator, since its switching threshold is determined only by
the magnitude of the incoming optical signal.
At a minimum, a double-sided printed-wiring board
(PWB) with a large component-side ground plane
beneath the transceiver must be used. In applications
that include many other high-speed devices, a multilayer PWB is highly recommended. This permits the
placement of power and ground on separate layers,
which allows them to be isolated from the signal lines.
