Description
The HFBR-5301 and HFBR-5302
Fibre Channel Transceivers from
Hewlett-Packard provide the
system designer with products to
implement Fibre Channel designs
for use in multimode fiber (MMF)
applications. These include the
12.5 MB/sec 12-M6-LE-I interface
and the 25 MB/sec 25-M6-LE-I
interface for 1300 nm LED links.
The products are produced in the
new industry standard 1x9 SIP
package style with a duplex SC
connector interface as defined in
the Fiber Channel ANSI FC-PH
standard document.
The HFBR-5301 is a 1300 nm
transceiver specified for use in
133 MBd, 12.5 MB/s, 12-M6-LE-I
Fibre Channel interfaces to either
62.5/125 µm or 50/125 µm
multimode fiber-optic cables.
The HFBR-5302 is a 1300 nm
transceiver specified for use in
266 MBd, 25 MB/s, 25-M6-LE-I
Fibre Channel interfaces to either
62.5/125 µm or 50/125 µm
multimode fiber-optic cables.
Transmitter Sections
The transmitter sections of the
HFBR-5301 and HFBR-5302
utilize 1300 nm InGaAsP LEDs.
These LEDs are packaged in the
optical subassembly portion of
the transmitter section. They are
driven by a custom silicon IC
which converts PECL logic
signals, into an analog LED drive
current.
Receiver Sections
The receiver sections of the
HFBR-5301 and HFBR-5302
utilize InGaAs PIN photo diodes
coupled to a custom silicon
transimpedance preamplifier IC.
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.
Package
The overall package concept for
the HP Fibre Channel transceivers consists of three basic
elements; the two optical
subassemblies, an electrical
subassembly and the housing
with integral duplex SC connector interface. This is illustrated in
the block diagram in Figure 1.

The package includes internal
shields for the electrical and
optical subassemblies to insure
high immunity to external EMI
fields and low EMI emissions.
The outer housing, including the
duplex SC connector, is molded
of filled non-conductive plastic to
provide mechanical strength and
electrical isolation. The solder
posts are isolated from the circuit
design of the transceiver, while
they can be connected to a
ground plane on the circuit
board, doing so will have no
impact on circuit performance.
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
SC connectored fiber cables.

Compatibility with Fibre

transceivers are compatible with
various manufacturers FC-0 and

Transceiver Optical Power
Budget vs. 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
plant reconfiguration or repair.
Figure 4 illustrates the predicted
OPB associated with the two
transceivers 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.

Hewlett-Packard LED technology
has produced 1300 nm LED
devices with lower aging characteristics than normally associated
with these technologies in the
industry. The industry convention
is 1.5 dB aging for 1300 nm
LEDs. The HP LEDs will experience less than 1 dB of aging over
normal commercial equipment
mission life periods. Contact your
Hewlett-Packard sales representative for additional details.
Figure 4 was generated with a
Hewlett-Packard fiber optic link
model containing the current
industry conventions for fiber
cable specifications and the Fibre
Channel optical parameters.
These parameters are reflected in
the specified performance of the
transceiver in this data sheet.
This same model has been used
extensively in the ANSI and IEEE
committees, including the ANSI
X3T9.5 committee, to establish
the optical performance requirements for various fiber-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.
Transceiver Signaling
Operating Rate Range and
BER Performance
For purposes of definition, the
symbol rate (Baud), 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).
The specifications in this data
sheet have all been measured
using the standard Fibre Channel
symbol rates of 133 Mbd or
266 MBd.
The transceivers may be used for
other applications at signaling
rates different than specified in
this data sheet. Depending on the
actual signaling rate, there may
be some differences in optical

primarily caused by a change of
receiver sensitivity.
These transceivers can also be
used for applications which
require different Bit Error Rate
(BER) performance. Figure 5
illustrates the typical trade-off
between link BER and the
receivers input optical power
level.
Transceiver Jitter
Performance
The Hewlett-Packard 1300 nm
transceivers are designed to
operate per the system jitter
allocations stated in FC-PH
Annex A.4.3 and A.4.4.
The HP 1300 nm transmitters will
tolerate the worst case input
electrical jitter allowed, without
violating the worst case output
optical jitter requirements.
The HP 1300 nm receivers will
tolerate the worst case input
optical jitter allowed without
violating the worst case output
electrical jitter allowed.
The jitter specifications stated in
the following tables are derived
from the values in FC-PH Annex
A.4.3 and A.4.4. They represent
the worst case jitter contribution
that the transceivers are allowed
to make to the overall system
jitter without violating the
allowed allocation. In practice,
the typical contribution of the HP
transceivers is below these
maximum allowed amounts.
Recommended Handling
Precautions
Hewlett-Packard recommends
that normal static precautions be
taken in handling and assembly
of these transceivers to prevent
damage and/or degradation which
may be induced by electrostatic
discharge (ESD). These transceivers are certified as MIL-STD-

and hand solder processes.

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