Description

The T48-Type 2.5 Gb/s Laser Transmitters are

designed for use in transmission systems and high-

speed data communication applications. The transmit-

ter operates at the SONET OC-48 rate, as well as the

ITU-T SDH rate of STM-16.

The transmitters meet all present Telcordia Technolo-

gies ™ GR-253CORE requirements and the ITU-T

G.957 and G.958 recommendations. They are also ide-

ally suited for extended-distance data and networking

applications.

Manufactured in a 24-pin, plastic-encased DIP, the

transmitter incorporates an InGaAs PIN photodiode

back-facet monitor, a GaAs laser driver IC, and a

choice of lasers, including:

■1300 nm hermetic Fabry-Perot laser (T481 versions)

■1300 nm hermetic MQW isolated DFB laser (T483

versions)

■1550 nm hermetic MQW isolated DFB laser (T485

versions)

The transmitter requires a single power supply (+5 V or

–5 V). A clock input can be enabled for those applica-

tions where jitter is critical.

Pin information is listed in Table 1.

Transmitter Processing

The transmitter can withstand normal wave soldering

processes. The complete transmitter module is not her-

metically sealed; therefore, it should not be immersed

in or sprayed with any cleaning solution or solvents.

The process cap and fiber-pigtail jacket can deform at

temperatures greater than 85 °C. The transmitter pins

can be wave-soldered at maximum temperature of

250 °C for 10 seconds.

Installation Considerations

Although the transmitter has been designed with rug-

gedness in mind, care should be used during handling.

The optical connector should be kept free from dust,

and the process cap should be kept in place as a dust

cover when the device is not connected to a cable. If

contamination is present on the optical connector, the

use of canned air with an extension tube should

remove any debris. Other cleaning procedures are

identified in the Cleaning Fiber-Optic Assemblies Tech-

nical Note (TN95-010LWP).

Connector Options

The standard fiber-optic pigtail is an 8 µm core single-

mode fiber in a 0.036 in. (914 µm) diameter, tight-buff-

ered outer jacket. The standard length is 39 in. ± 4 in.

(1 m ± 10 cm) and can be terminated with either an FC,

SC, LC, or MU optical connector. Other connector

options may be available on special order.

Table 1. Pin Descriptions

* Laser back-facet and bias monitor functions are customer-use

options that are not required for normal operations of the transmit-

ter. They are normally used during manufacture and for diagnos-

tics.

† Pins designated no user connection (NUC) cannot be tied to

ground or any other circuit potential.

Absolute Maximum Ratings

Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are abso-

lute stress ratings only. Functional operation of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in excess

of those given in the operations sections of the data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for extended

periods can adversely affect device reliability.

*With VEE connected to –5 V, VCC must be at 0 V; with VCC connected to +5 V, VEE must be at 0 V.

Characteristics

Minimum and maximum values specified over operating case temperature range at 50% duty cycle data signal.

Typical values are measured at room temperature unless otherwise noted.

1. With VEE connected to –5 V, VCC must be at 0 V; with VCC connected to +5 V, VEE must be at 0 V.

2. Inputs are ac-coupled into an equivalent input impedance of 50 ¾.

3. Single-ended or differential operation may be used. If the inputs are driven single-ended, the unused inputs must be ac-coupled (0.1 µF) to

ground.

4. Clocked operation is optional. For clocked operation, pin 5 must be tied to VEE. With clocked operation, the optical output changes state with

the rising edge of the input clock signal. If left unconnected, the pin will be pulled low, enabling the clock mode.

5.The transmitter is normally enabled and only requires an external voltage to disable.

6.This voltage is measured from pin 3 to VEE and is converted to laser bias current with the ratio of 20 mV/mA.

Qualification and Reliability

To help ensure high product reliability and customer satisfaction, TriQuint is committed to an intensive quality pro-

gram that starts in the design phase and proceeds through the manufacturing process. Optoelectronics modules

are qualified to TriQuint’s internal standards using MIL-STD-883 test methods and procedures and using sampling

techniques consistent with Telcordia Technologies requirements. This qualification program fully meets the intent of

Telcordia Technologies reliability practices TR-NWT-000468 and TA-TSY-000983. In addition, the TriQuint opto-

electronics design, development, and manufacturing facility has been certified to be in full compliance with the lat-

est ISO ® 9001 Quality System Standards.

Electrostatic Discharge

CAUTION:This device is susceptible to damage as a result of electrostatic discharge. Take proper precau-

tions during both handling and testing. Follow guidelines such as JEDEC Publication No. 108-A

(Dec. 1988).

TriQuint Semiconductor 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 can be used for comparison purposes.
