Symbol
Functional Description
Din Ch 0 - 3 +/-
through
Transmitter differential data inputs for channels 0 through 3: Data inputs are CML compatible.
Din Ch 0 - 3 +/-
TX_DIS
Transmitter Disable: LVCMOS Input (Internal pull down). Control input used to turn off the
transmitter optical outputs. High Active. VCSEL array is off when High. Normal operation is
enabled when Low.
TX_EN
Transmitter Enable: LVCMOS Input (Internal pull up). Control input used to enable the trans-
mitter optical outputs. High Active. VCSEL array is off when Low. Normal operation is enabled
when High.
TX_FAULT*
Transmitter Fault: LVCMOS Output. Transmitter status output indicating an eye-safety over-cur-
rent condition for any VCSEL, an out of temperature range condition and/or a calibration data
corruption detection. High output state indicates normal operation. Low output state indicates
the fault condition. An asserted FAULT* condition disables the VCSEL array and is cleared by
TX_RESET*.
TX_RESET*
Transmitter Reset: LVCMOS Input (Internal pull up). Control input used to reset the transmitter
logic functions. Active Low. VCSEL array is off when Low. Normal operation is enabled when
High.
VEE_TX
VCC_TX
Transmitter signal common. All transmitter voltages are referenced to this potential unless oth-
erwise stated. Directly connect these pads to the PC board transmitter ground plane.
Transmitter power supply.
Dout Ch 0 - 3 +/-
through
Receiver differential data outputs for channels 0 through 3: Data outputs are CML compatible.
Data outputs are squelched for de-asserted Signal Detect.
Dout Ch 0 - 3 +/-
SD
Receiver Signal Detect: LVCMOS Output. Receiver status output indicating valid signal in all
channels. High output state (asserted) indicates valid optical inputs to each and every channel.
Low output state (de-asserted) indicates loss of signal at any of the monitored receiver inputs.
All channels are monitored.
DNC
Do NOT Connect. Do not connect to any electrical potential.
VEE_RX
Receiver signal common. All receiver voltages are referenced to this potential unless otherwise
stated. Directly connect these pads to the PC board receiver ground plane.
VCCA_RX
VCCB_RX
Pin preamplifier power supply rail.
Receiver quantizer power supply rail.
VCCA_RX and VCCB_RX can be connected to the same power supply. However, to insure maximum receiver sensitivity and
minimize the impact of noise from the power supply, it is recommended to keep the power supplies separate and to use the
recommended power supply filtering network on VCCA_RX (see Figure 8).
Module Case
Transceiver Case Common. Transceiver Case Common incorporates all exposed conductive sur-
faces and is electrically isolated from Transmitter Signal Common and Receiver Signal Common.
