Description

The HFBR-5200 family of transceivers from Agilent Technologies provide the system designer with products to implement a range of solutions for multimode fiber SONET OC-3 (SDH STM-1)

physical layers for ATM and other services.

These transceivers are all supplied in the new industry standard 1x9 SIP package style with either a duplex SC or a duplex ST* connector interface.

ATM 2000 m Backbone Links

The HFBR-5205/-5205T are 1300 nm products with optical performance compliant with the SONET STS-3c (OC-3) Physical Layer Interface Specification. This physical layer is defined in the ATM Forum User-Network Interface (UNI) Specification Version

3.0. This document references the ANSI T1E1.2 specification for the details of the interface for 2000 meter multimode fiber backbone links.

Selected versions of these transceivers may be used to implement the ATM Forum UNI Physical Layer Interface at the 155 Mbps/194 MBd rate.

The ATM 100 Mbps/125 MBd Physical Layer interface is best implemented with the HFBR-5100 family of FDDI Transceivers which are specified for use in this 4B/5B encoded physical layer per the FDDI PMD standard.

ATM 500 m Backbone and Desktop Links

The HFBR-5204/-5204T are 1300 nm products which are similar to the HFBR-5205/5205T except that they are intended to provide a lower cost SONET OC-3 link to distances up to 500 meters in

62.5/125 µm multimode fiber optic cables.

Very Low Cost ATM 300 m Desktop Links

The HFBR-5203/-5203T are very low cost 800 nm alternatives to the HFBR-5204/-5204T for SONET OC-3 links to distances up to 300 meters in 62.5/125 µm multimode fiber optic cables.

Transmitter Sections

The transmitter sections of the HFBR-5204 and HFBR-5205 series utilize 1300 nm InGaAsP LEDs and the HFBR-5203 series

uses a low cost 800 nm AlGaAs LED. These LEDs are packaged in the optical subassembly portion of the transmitter section. They are driven by a custom silicon IC which converts differential PECL logic signals, ECL referenced (shifted) to a +5 Volt supply, into an analog LED drive current.

Receiver Sections

The receiver sections of the HFBR-5204 and HFBR-5205 series utilize InGaAs PIN photodiodes coupled to a custom silicon transimpedance preamplifier IC. The HFBR-5203 series uses the same preamplifier IC in conjunction with an inexpensive silicon PIN photodiode. These are packaged in the optical subassembly portion of the receiver.

These PIN/preamplifier combinations are coupled to a custom quantizer IC which provides the final pulse shaping for the logic output and the Signal Detect function. The data output is differential. The signal detect output is single-ended. Both data and signal detect outputs are PECL compatible, ECL referenced (shifted) to a +5 volt power supply.

design complies with the maximum height allowed for the duplex SC connector over the entire length of the package.

The optical subassemblies utilize a high volume assembly process together with low cost lens elements which result in a cost effective building block.

The electrical subassembly consists of a high volume multilayer printed circuit board on which the IC chips and various surfacemounted passive circuit elements are attached.

The package includes internal shields for the electrical and optical subassemblies to insure low EMI emissions and high immunity to external EMI fields.

The outer housing including the duplex SC connector or the duplex ST ports is molded of filled non-conductive plastic to provide mechanical strength and electrical isolation. The solder posts of the Agilent design are isolated from the circuit design of the transceiver and do not require

connection to a ground plane on the circuit board.

The transceiver is attached to a printed circuit board with the nine signal pins and the two solder posts which exit the bottom of the housing. The two solder posts provide the primary mechanical strength to withstand the loads imposed on the transceiver by mating with the duplex or simplex SC or ST connectored fiber cables.

Note: The “T” in the product numbers indicates a transceiver with a duplex ST connector receptacle. Product numbers without a “T” indicate transceivers with a duplex SC connector receptacle.

Transceiver Optical Power Budget versus Link Length

Optical Power Budget (OPB) is the available optical power for a fiber optic link to accommodate fiber cable losses plus losses due to in-line connectors, splices, optical switches, and to provide margin for link aging and unplanned losses due to cable

gies in the industry. The industry convention is 3 dB aging for 800 nm and 1.5 dB aging for 1300 nm LEDs. The 1300 nm HP LEDs are specified to experience less than 1 dB of aging over normal commercial equipment mission life periods. Contact your Agilent sales representative for additional details.

Figure 4 illustrates the predicted OPB associated with the three transceivers series specified in this data sheet at the Beginning of Life (BOL). These curves represent the attenuation and chromatic plus modal dispersion losses associated with the 62.5/125 µm and 50/125 µm fiber cables only. The area under the curves represents the remaining OPB at any link length, which is available for overcoming non-fiber cable losses.

optic interface standards. The cable parameters used come from the ISO/IEC JTC1/SC 25/WG3 Generic Cabling for Customer Premises per DIS 11801 document and the EIA/TIA-568-A Commercial Building Telecommunications Cabling Standard per SP-2840.

The HFBR-5203 series 800 nm transceiver curve in Figure 4 was generated based on extensive empirical test data of the 800 nm transceiver performance. The curve includes the effect of typical fiber attenuation, plus receiver sensitivity loss due to chromatic and metal dispersion losses through the fiber.

Transceiver Signaling Operating Rate Range and BER Performance

For purposes of definition, the symbol (Baud) rate, also called signaling rate, is the reciprocal of the symbol time. Data rate (bits/ sec) is the symbol rate divided by the encoding factor used to encode the data (symbols/bit).

When used in 155 Mbps SONET OC-3 applications the performance of the 1300 nm transceivers, HFBR-5204/5205 is guaranteed to the full conditions listed in individual product specification tables.

The transceivers may be used for other applications at signaling rates different than 155 Mbps with some variation in the link optical power budget. Figure 5 gives an indication of the typical performance of these products at different rates.

These transceivers can also be used for applications which require different Bit Error Rate (BER) performance. Figure 6

Transceiver Jitter Performance

The Agilent 1300 nm transceivers are designed to operate per the system jitter allocations stated in Table B1 of Annex B of the draft ANSI T1E1.2 Revision 3 standard.

The Agilent 1300 nm transmitters will tolerate the worst case input electrical jitter allowed in Annex B without violating the worst case output optical jitter requirements.

The Agilent 1300 nm receivers will tolerate the worst case input optical jitter allowed in Annex B without violating the worst case output electrical jitter allowed.

The jitter specifications stated in the following 1300 nm transceiver specification tables are derived from the values in Table B1 of Annex B. They represent the worst case jitter contribution that the transceivers are allowed to make to the overall system jitter without violating the Annex B allocation example. In practice, the typical contribution of the Agilent transceivers is well below these maximum allowed amounts.

Recommended Handling Precautions

Agilent recommends that normal static precautions be taken in the handling and assembly of these transceivers to prevent damage which may be induced by electrostatic discharge (ESD). The HFBR-5200 series of transceivers meet MIL-STD-883C Method 3015.4 Class 2 products.

Care should be used to avoid shorting the receiver data or signal detect outputs directly to ground without proper current limiting impedance.

Solder and Wash Process Compatibility

The transceivers are delivered with protective process plugs inserted into the duplex SC or duplex ST connector receptacle. This process plug protects the optical subassemblies during wave solder and aqueous wash processing and acts as a dust cover during shipping.

These transceivers are compatible with either industry standard wave or hand solder processes.
