Description
General Transmitter Section
The transmitter section consists
of a 1300 nm Laser in an eye safe
optical subassembly, (ELSA),
which mates to the fiber cable.
The ELSA is driven by a custom
silicon bipolar IC which converts
differential PECL logic signals,
ECL referenced to a +5 V supply,
into an analog Laser Diode drive
current.
Eye Safety Design
The ELSA is designed to be eye
safe under a single fault condition. To be eye-safe, only one of
two results can occur in the event
of a single fault. The transmitter
must either maintain a safe level
of output power or the transmitter should be disabled.
The ELSA contains a patented
optical fiber stub which restricts
the level of light emerging from
the connector port under all
conditions. Overdriving the laser
(even to destruction) cannot
produce enough light to violate
the IEC safe level. As a result the
HFCT-5305 is intrinsically eye
safe.
Receiver Section
The receiver includes an InP PIN
photodiode mounted together
with a custom silicon bipolar
transimpedance preamplifier IC
in an optical subassembly, OSA.
This OSA is mated to a custom
silicon bipolar circuit providing
post-amplification and
quantization.
The custom silicon bipolar circuit
also includes a Signal Detect
circuit which provides a PECL
logic high output upon detection
of a usable input optical signal
level. This single-ended lowpower PECL output is designed
to drive a standard PECL input

the normal 50 Ω ECL load.
Regulatory Compliance
See the Regulatory Compliance
Table for the targeted typical
and measured performance for
these transceivers. As the
product design is completed,
full characterization testing
will be done to determine the
actual performance of the final
design.
The overall equipment design will
determine the level it is able to be
certified to. These transceiver
performance targets are offered
as a figure of merit to assist the
designer in considering their use
in equipment designs.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
There are two design cases in
which immunity to ESD damage
is important.
The first case is during handling
of the transceiver prior to mounting it on the circuit board. It is
important to use normal ESD
handling precautions for ESD
sensitive devices. These precautions include using grounded
wrist straps, work benches, and
floor mats in ESD controlled
areas.
The targeted performance has
been shown to provide adequate
performance typical industry
production environments.
The second case to consider is
static discharges to the exterior
of the equipment chassis
containing the transceiver parts.
To the extent that the duplex SC
connector is exposed to the
outside of the equipment chassis
it may be subject to whatever
system level ESD test criteria that
the equipment is intended to
meet. The targeted performance
is more robust than typical
industry equipment practices
today.
Electromagnetic Interference
(EMI)
Most equipment designs utilizing
these high speed transceivers
from Hewlett-Packard will be
required to meet the requirements of FCC in the United
States, CENELEC EN55022
(CISPR 22) in Europe and VCCI
in Japan.
These transceivers, with their
shielded design, are targeted to
perform to the limits listed to
assist the designer in the
management of the overall
equipment EMI performance.
Immunity
Equipment utilizing these
transceivers will be subject to
radio-frequency electromagnetic
fields in some environments.
Electrostatic Discharge Variation of IEC 801-2Products of this type will typically withstand at
(ESD) to theleast 25 kV without damage when the Duplex

Human Body Model probe.

Receiver Signal Ground

See recommended circuit schematic.
Normal optical input levels to the receiver result in a logic “1” output.
Low optical input levels to the receiver result in a fault condition indication shown by
a logic “0” output.
Signal Detect is a single-ended, low-power, PECL output. Since SD is a low-power
PECL output, complete the interconnection of SD output with other PECL inputs using
a 10 kΩ pull-down resistor to VEE to allow biasing of this interconnection. Do not load
this SD output with standard PECL, 50 Ω to V
– 2 V, termination. If Signal Detect
CC
output is not used, leave it open-circuited.
This Signal Detect output can be used to drive a PECL input on an upstream circuit,
such as, Signal Detect input or Loss of Signal-bar.
