DESCRIPTION
The Infine on single mode SONET/SDH t ransponder is compli-
ant with the Bellcore GR-253, ITU-T G.957, and ITU-T G.958
specifications. The transmitter section consists of a multiplexer
(Mux), laser driver , F abry Perot (FP) laser diode and pigtail single
mode fiber with LC/PC or SC/PC 0 ° termination. The receiver
section consists of a multimode fiber pigtail with LC/PC or SC/
PC termination, a packaged PIN photodiode and preamplifier,
postamplifier, clock and data recovery (CDR), and a demulti-
plexer (Demux). The Mux and Demux functions are integrated
together onto a single Transceiver IC. The 622.08 MHz parallel
data int er f ace fre es t he us er fr om the c onc erns of pc b la y ou t at
2.5 Gb/s. The pluggable connector blind mates easily to the
customer pcb, and all ows the trans ponder to be removed prior
to any solder reflow or washing of the users pcb.
The transponder operates from a single +3.3 V power supply.
The electrical interface is via a 60 pin pluggable connec tor. The
transmit and receive electrical signals each consist of 4 parallel
differential LVDS data, and a differentia l LVDS clock. The trans-
mit input data and clock lines, and the receive output data and
clock lines, are al l internal l y biased a nd te rmi n a te d. All line s are
DC coupled to the interface connector.
The transponder is designed to transmit an d re ceive serial OC-
48 (2488.32 Mb/s) data over standard non-dispersion-shifted
single mode fiber at a wavelength of 1310 nm.
Transmitter (Mux Section)
Please refer to the transponder block diagram.
The transmitter accepts a 4 bit wide parallel in put data word,
TXD A T AP/N[3:0], at a 622.08 Mb/s data rate. The TX input clock,
TXCLKP/N, is synchronous with the incoming data, at a fre-
quency of 622.08 MHz. This clock is used to load the data into a
4-bit latch. Th e data is read in on the rising edge of the positive
input clock. (See TX Input Timing Diagram).
A reference input clock, REFCLKP/N, at 155.52 MHz, is sup-
plied as a reference inpu t to the high speed Clock Synthes izer.
The high speed output of the clock synthesizer will clock the
Timing Generator and the Parallel-to-Serial Converter. The Paral-
lel-to-Serial Conv erter will output the retimed data as a serial bit
stream, TSDP/N, at 2488.32 Mb/s data rate. Bit 3 of the
TXDATAP/N parallel input word is the MSB, and is transmitted
first in the data stream. Bit 0, the LSB, is transmitted last.
The output of the high speed Clock Synthesizer, which is inter-
nally set to 2488.32 MHz, is tapped off the Timing Generator,
and is divided to 622.08 MHz. This output (PCLKP/N) is
intended to be used as a reference clock for TX upstream logic.
The PHASE_INITP/N input signal is used to realign the internal
timing of the Timing Generator by resetting and centering the
FIFO in the Transceiver IC. The realignment will occur on the ris-
ing ed ge of PHASE_INITP, which must be held high for at least
10 ns.
The PHASE_ERRP/ N output will pulse high during each clock
cycle when there is a potential set-up & hold timing violation
between the internal byte clock and the TXCLKP/N input, indi-
cating that PHASE_INITP/N must be strobed.
If the R ef erence Cloc k input, REFCLKP/N, i s derived fro m and is
synchronous with the TX Byte Clock, TXCLKP/N, then there
should never be any short setup and hold times between the
two timing domains, and the FIFO should never need to be
recentered. However, if the REFCLKP/N input is, for instance,
produced by a free running oscillator, then such potential viola-
tions may e xist. When FIFO realignment occurs, up to 10 bytes
of data will be lost. Automatic FIFO realignment can be enabled
by simply connecting the PHA SE_ERRP/N output directly to th e
PHAS EINITP/N input. T he us er can also take the PHA S E_E RRP/
N outp ut, pr oce ss it a nd send a sig nal to the PHA SE_ INI TP/N in
such a way that idle bytes are lost during the realignment pro-
cess.
The TX Clock Synthesizer section provides a lock alarm output
signal, TXLOCK, which indicates if the clock synthesizer is prop-
erly phase locked.
Transmitter (Electro-Optical Section)
T h e s eri a l d a ta ou t put , TSD P/N , of t he Transcei ver IC is in p ut t o
a las er d riv er IC. The la ser driv e r p ro vid es b ot h bia s an d mod ula -
tion to a laser diode. The laser bias current is controlled by a
closed-loop circuit, which regula tes the output average power
of the lase r o v er co ndit ions of t emp era t ur e an d ag in g. The Mon -
itor PIN diode, which is mechanically built into the laser, pro-
vides a feedback signal to the laser driver, and prevents the
lase r power from exceeding the factory preset opera ting limits.
The laser driver includes an eye saf ety feat ure that will automat-
ically shut off power to the laser if a fault con dition occurs
which causes excessively high laser bias current or excessively
high average output pow er. Such a fault will be indicated on the
TX_FAULT output . The faul t can be cleared by cycling DC
power, or by strobing the RESET_L input.
The M ux and Laser Driver can be r eset with the RESE T_L input.
During the time that RESET_L is held active, there will be no
optical output from the transmitter. The RESET_L input will
clear any fault indication that has occu rred on the T X_FAULT
output.
The laser can be switched off at any time with the
LASER_DISABLE input.
The TX_BIASMON outp ut is provided as an alarm to indicate if
the laser bias current is outside of the normal operating range.
This output can be used to monitor the aging of the laser.
The laser diode is a Fabry-Perot type, which, due to the cavity
nature of its design, will emit li ght at several longitudinal wave-
lengths, or modes centered about 1310 nm. This type of laser is
suitable f or the short reach tr ansmission ov er single-mode fiber
that this transponder is intended for. The laser has a single-
mode f iber pi gtail, whic h is t erminat ed in a n LC/PC o r SC/PC 0 °
optical connector.
Receiver (Electro-Optical Section)
Th e input light to the RX is coupled from the transmission fiber
into a PIN/Preamp assembly on the transponder. The PIN/
P rea mp c ontai ns a mu lti-mo de f ib er pi gtai l, wh ic h i s t ermin at ed
in an LC/PC or SC/PC 0 ° optical connector. The multi-mode
fiber pigtail has a larger core diameter (50 µ m) than the single-
mode transmission fiber (9 µm). Th eref ore, all the light from the
single-mode fiber is coupled into the larger diameter core of the
multi-mode pigtail.
The PIN/Preamp contains a PIN photodiode, trans-impedance
amplifier and non-limiting post-amplifier in one package. The
PIN diode produces a current output, which is directly propor-
tional to the intensity of the incoming light. The trans-imped-
Fiber Optics V23816-N1018-C/L312, 3.3V, 4-Line LVDS Parallel 2.5GBd Transp.OC-48 SONET/SDH SR, 2km

ance amplifier performs current-to-voltage conversion, and the
non-limiting post-amplifier quantizes the signal into a digital out-
put.
The receiver contains a RX power monitor output, which is a
voltage output directly p roportiona l to the average optical input
power.
The Limiting Post-Amplifier provides additional voltage amplifi-
cation, and also provides a Loss Of Signal (RX_LOS) indica to r.
LOS wil l oc c ur a t a RX in pu t p ow e r lev e l less than t he s pe c if i ed
RX Sensitivity, and is an indication that t he RX is taki ng bit
errors.
The Clock and Data Recov ery (CDR) uses a PLL based approach
to recover the high speed clock from the incoming serial data
stream. A lock alarm, RX_L OS YNC, indicates if the CDR has lost
synchronization. This wil l occur if the i nput RX power level is
very low (below the LOS threshold level), or if the input data
rate is outside the specified frequency tolerance. In these
cases, the CDR will pha se lock to a Crystal Oscillator so it can
produce a valid clock output, with a frequency accuracy of ±20
ppm. In both cases of Loss Of Signal or Loss Of Synchroniza-
tion, the Transceiver IC will force all the RX output data bits,
RXDATAP/N [3:0] to a constant zero state.
Receiver (Demux section)
The incoming serial data is latched into the Transceiver IC by
the recovere d clock. The dat a and clock are applied to a 4 bit
wide Serial-to-Pa rallel Con verter (Demux), whic h demultiple xes
the data into a parallel format. The first bit received, i.e. the
MSB which is transmitted first in the serial data stream, is
placed into the highest or der bit of th e par allel output word, i.e.
Bit 3 = MSB. The Transceiver IC, however, doe s not perform a
frame alignment function. This means that the parallel output
word will contain the bits in the correct order, however, the
position of the bits within the parallel output word may be
shifted by an arbitrary amount between 0 and 4 bits. It is the
function of downstream framer logic to realign the bits.
The retimed RX output dat a, RXDATAP/N[3:0], is output at a
622.08 Mb/s data rate. The output clock, SDSCLKP/N, is at
622.08 MHz. The RXDATAP/N[3:0] data is clocked out on the
falling edge of SDSCLKP. (See RX Output Timing Diagram).
Loopback Operation
Four loopback modes of operation are provided.
Line Loopback is enabled with the LLEB_L input. In Line Loop-
back operation, the RX Serial Data and Clock inputs to the
Transc eiver IC (RSDP/N and RSCLKP/N) are routed directly to
the TX Serial outputs of the IC (TSDP/N and TSCLKP/N). This
effectively eliminates the Transceiver IC from the signal path.
Diag nostic Loop b ack is enabled with the DLEB_L input. In Diag-
nostic Loopback operation, the TX output Serial Data and Clock
of the Transceiver IC (TSDP/N and TSCLKP/N) are routed
directly to the RX Serial Data and Clock inputs of the IC (RSDP/
N and RSCLKP/N). This effectively eliminates the optical and
elec tro-opt ical components from the signal path.
Reference Loop Time is enabled with the RLPTIME input. In
Reference Loop Time operation, a divide-by-4 version of the
POCLKP/N output of the RX is used as the reference clock
input to the TX.
Serial Loop Time is enabled with the SLPTIME input. In Serial
Loop Time operat ion, the recovered high-speed clock (RSCLKP/
N) from the RX section is used in place of the synthesized
transmit clock.
Jitter
The transponder is specified to meet the Sonet Jitter perfor-
mance as outlined in ITU-T G.958 and Bellcore GR-253.
Jitter Generation i s def i ne d as the amount of j itter that is ge ne r -
ated by the transponder. The Jitter Generation specifications
are referenced to the optical OC-48 signal s. If no or minimum
jit ter is applied to the electrical inputs of the transmitter, then
Jitter Generation can simply be defined as the amount of jitter
on the TX Optical output. The Sonet specifications for Jitter
Generation are 0.01 UI rms, maximum and 0.1 UI p-p, maxi-
mum. Both are measured with a 12 KHz-20 MHz filter in line. A
UI is a Unit Interval, which is equivalent to one bit slot. At OC-
48, the bit slot is 4 00 ps, so the Jitter Gen eration specification
translates to 4 ps rms, max. and 40 ps p-p, max.
Jitter Tolerance is defined as the amount of jitter applied to the
RX Optical input that the receiver will tolerate while producing
less than a 1 dB penalty in RX Sensiti v ity. The mini mum Jitter
Tolerance levels are normally expressed as a mask of jitter
amplitude versus jitter frequency. Measured Jitter Tolerance
levels must be greater than the mask limits. The Jitter Toler-
ance mask specified in the Bellcore GR-253 do cument covers
jitter frequencies down to 10 Hz. The transponder is designed
to meet this mask.
Sonet Jit ter Transf er Mask (ITU-T G.958 & Bellcor e GR-253)
Sonet Jitter Tolerance Mask (Bellcore GR-253)
Jitter Transfer is defined as the ratio of output jitter to input jit-
ter. Referenced to an optical transponder, it is defined as the
ratio of TX Optical Output Jitter to RX Optical Input Jitter. To
measure Jitter Transfer, the transponder must be operating in
electrical loopbac k mode, with the RX electrical outputs looped
back into th e TX electrical inputs. Jitter Transfer is defined to be
less than 0.1 dB up to 2 MHz, then dropping at –20 dB decade
thereafter, per ITU-T G.958 and Bellcore GR-253. The Jitter
Transfer must be less than the following mask l imits .

Transmitter Electro-Optical Characteristics
Notes
1. The laser driver contains a control circuit, which regulates the aver-
age optical output power. Nominal output power is f act or y set to be
within the specified ra nge.
2. The Ey e Diagram is compliant with Bel lcore GR-253 and ITU-T G.957
Eye Mask specifications.
3. Jitter Generation is defined as the amount of jit t er on t he TX Optical
Output, when there is no or minimum jitter on the TX electrical
inputs. Jitter Generati on is compliant with GR-253 and ITU-T G.958
specificati ons, when measur ed using a 12 KHz - 20 MHz filter, and
with a jitte r level on the REFCLKP/N in put wh ich is less than the
level specified in AC Electr ical Charact eristic s - Transmitter.
4. If the +3. 3 V po w er s upply dr ops belo w t he specifi ed le v el, the l aser
bias and modulation current s will be held disabled until the supply
voltage rises above threshold and after the Power On Delay Time
period.
5. A fault, such as hi gh las er bias current or high av er age p ower, which
lasts longer than the specified Fault Delay time, will cause the trans-
mitter to be disabled. The fault can be cleared by cycling of DC
power, or by strobing the RESET_L input.
Receiver Electro-Optical Characteristics
Notes
1. Average RX power f or a 1x1010 BER, and using a PRBS pattern of
2231 length with 72 zeros and 72 ones inserted, as per ITU-T
G.958.
2. Jitter Tolera nce is defi ned as the amount of jitter applied to the RX
optical input that the receiver will tolerate without producing bit
errors. The minimum required Jitter Tolerance for a 1 dB power pen-
alty is defined to be 1 5 UI from 1 0 Hz to 600 Hz, 1.5 UI from 6 KHz to
100 KHz, and 0.15 UI from 1 MHz onwards, per Bellcore GR-253.
3. Jitter Transfer is defined as the ratio of TX Output Jitter to RX Input
Jit ter, when the transpon der is operated in ele ctrical loopback mode
(RX electrical outputs looped back into TX electrical inputs). Jitter
Transfer is specified to be less than 0.1 dB up to 2 MHz, and drop-
ping at 20 dB/Decade after that point, per ITU-T G.958 and B ellcore
GR-253.
4. The RX_LOS output is an active high LVTTL output, which is set
HIGH if there is a loss of RX opt ical signal input (LOS), A decrease in
optical input power below the asser t level will cause the RX_LOS

output to switch HIGH (ON). Hysteresis occurs when the optical
input power is raised back above the threshold switching level. The
RX_LOSYNC output is an active high LVTTL output, which is set
HIGH if the Clock Data Recovery PLL becomes unlocked. Loss Of
Sync will occur at a lower optical input pow er level than L OS , but still
within the sp ec if ied inpu t p ower range.
5. The receiver lock range is typically ±300 ppm from nominal OC-48
data rate. When the data rate of the RX signal de viates b y more than
±600 ppm (typically) from nominal, or if t he RX is in a Loss Of Signal
(LOS) condition, then the Clock Recovery module will lock to an
internal 155.52 MHz crystal oscillator. Under this condition: The
appropriate fault output (RX_LOS or RX_LOSYNC) switches active;
The RXDATAP/N[3:0] output data is forced to all zeros; and, the
switching of the SDSCLKP/N output is done so that the clock is con-
tinuous, and t here are no viol ations of the min imum puls e width and
period.
6. RX_MON ouput voltage is measured between VCC (+) and
RX_MON (). R X_M ON is specif ied up to a maximum optical inp ut
average power of 5 dBm (316.2 µW).

APPLICATION NOTES
INTERFACING THE 4-LINE TRANSPONDER
Scope
This Appli cation Note is meant to define the interfacing
between the Infineon 4-Line OC-48 Transponder, and the cus-
tomer equipment.
Introduction
The signals which interface to the OC-48 Transponder can be
grouped into Transmit (TX) and Receive (RX) functions.
The TX signals are:
TXDATAP/N[0..3]: 4 differential LVDS inputs for TX Data.
TXCLKP/N: A differential LVDS input for TX Clock.
REFCLKP/N: A differential LVPECL input for TX Reference
Clock.
PHASE_INITP/N: A differential LVDS input for Phase Initializa-
tion of the TX Mux.
PHASE_ERRP/N: A differential LVDS output fo r Phase Error of
the TX Mux.
The RX signals are:
RXDATAP/N[0..3]: 4 differential LVDS outputs for RX Data.
SDSCLKP/N: A differential LVDS output for RX Clock.
Interfacing
Interf acing Diagram
TX Signals
The customer OC-48 framer drives the TXDATA and TXCLK
inputs. In order to use DC Coupling, the framer should be a
+3.3 V LVDS device. Each of the inputs is terminated with
100 differential between lines in the transponder.
The PHASE_ERR output is not true LVDS, but is LVDS level
compatible, which uses a 330 to ground termination in the
transponder. The PHASE_INIT input is LVDS. In normal ope ra-
tion, PHASE_INITP is directly connected to PHASE_ERRP, and
PHASE_INITN is directly connected to PHASE_ERRN. These
connections must b e made on t he cust omer board.
The REFCLK input is a LVPECL input, which is driven by the
customer Clock Source, which should be an LVPECL device. DC

coupling is acceptable if the clock source is a +3.3 V LVPECL.
The REFCLK input is terminated with 100 differential
between lines in the transponder. It is necessary for the cus-
tomer to provide the external 330 resistors to ground for the
source termination.
RX Signals
The customer framer accepts as input the RXDATA and RXCLK
outputs of the transpo nder. In order to use DC Coupling, the
framer should be a +3.3 V LVDS device. The RXDATA and
SDSCLK outputs of the transponder are not true LVDS, but are
LVDS level compatible, which use a 330 to ground termina-
tion in the transponder. If the framer does not have a 100 dif-
fer en t ia l ter m in ation between line s, t he n th e cu stomer will
have to supply the terminations on their board.
Line Impedance
For proper impedance matching, all LVDS traces should be con-
structed as a differential trace pair, with 100 characteristic
impedance between the lines of each pair, and 50 character-
istic impedance per line. The LVPECL traces should be con-
structed as 50 per line.

Size
The outline size for the transponder housing is 2.3 in x 1.6 in x
0.54 inches. Please refer to the outline drawing.
Fiber & Connectors
The transponder has fiber pigtails for both TX and RX. The TX
pigtail is Single Mode Fiber, 9 µm/125 µm. The RX pigtail is
Multi Mode Fiber, 50 µm/1 25 µm, allowing a highly tolerant cou-
pling with a Single Mode Fiber. Each pigtail is terminated with a
LC/PC or SC/PC optical connector with 0 o polis h. The mi nimum
bend radius of the fiber pigtails is 30 mm (1.18 inches), typical.
The fiber length see Ordering Information on page 1, as mea-
sured from the transponder housing to the tip of the connector.
Interface Connector
The transponder interface connector is a 60 pin SMT, dual row,
header, 0.5 mm pitch, with ground blade, Samtec part numb er
QTH-030-01-L-D-A. The appropriate mating connector for the
customer pcb is a 60 pin SMT, dual row, socket, 0.5 mm pitch,
with mati ng al ignm ent p ins, S amt ec part n umb er QSH -030-01- L-
D-A. The internal blade of the connector should be connected
to signal ground on the users pcb. Contact Samtec for recom-
mended pcb layout pattern for Q SH connector.

For the guaranteed EMI-performance an optimal electrical con-
tact between the transponder housing and the user's pcb sig-
nal ground is necessary. For the user's pcb (hos tboard) we
recommend a full signal ground plane underneath the entire
transponder ho using (incl uding t he st andoff area, the EM I gas-
ket area and the optional heatsink area).
The transponder is equipped with an attached EMI gasket.
According to the drawing Hostboard Contact Area the con-
tact surface of the entire EMI gasket should be connected to
signal ground on the user's pcb. The area unde r the EMI gas-
kets (EMI gasket area) should be gold flash or tin plated copper
with no solder mask or other nonconductive coatings.
The four mounting screws of the housing also must be con-
nected to signal grou nd on the user' s pcb. Therefore the
mou nting scr e w ar eas shou ld ha ve sq uar e pad s of go ld fla sh or
tin plated copper, that a re connected to signal ground. These
pads are located on the pcb opposit e side to the tran sponder.
Use a torque wrench to tighten the mounting screws. The rec-
ommended torque value is 10 ±2 Ncm = 0.1 ±0.02 Nm =
14.16 ±2.83 oz-in. With a higher or lower value, the EMI-perfor-
mance will deteriorate.
The heatsi nk area under the center of the transponder is
optional and could be used for critical ambient temperature or
critical airflow. Currently it is not a complete replacement for
the regular heatsink. The cont act area should be conn ected to
signal ground. Gold (Au), Tin or other met a l platings are recom-
mended for good heat transfer. Any polymer coating will
decrease the heatsinking performance. Special heat transfer
pads are in progress. For reliable heatsinking to the hostboard,
the max. hostboard temperature must be lower or equal to the
specified ambient air temperature.
Scheme of tightening mounting screws
It is recommended to use a torque wrench to tighten the
mounting screws. Tightening torque value is:
10 ±2 Ncm = 0.1 ±0.02 Nm = 14.16 ±2.83 oz-in.
With a higher or lower value, the EMI-performance will deterio-
rate.
In order to avoid a mechanical stress of the users PCB and to
reduce the impacting forces (twisting or wresting of the PCB)
we recommen d a crosswise tightening of the 4 mount ing
screws.
Scheme
Please tighten the screws according to the following scheme:
1. Inser t four screws and tighten them very loose in the follow-
ing orde r:
2. Tigh ten the four scre w s ha nd-s cre wed in the foll o wing or de r:
