General Features
The AFCT-576xZ family of SFP optical transceivers are high
performance, cost effective modules for serial optical data
communications applications ranging from 125-155 Mbps.
They are designed to provide SONET/SDH compliant con-
nections for 155 Mbps at short and intermediate reach
links. This includes specifications for the signal coding,
optical fiber and connector types, optical and electrical
transmitter characteristics, optical and electrical receiver
characteristics, jitter characteristics, and compliance test-
ing methodology for the aforementioned. These transceiv-
ers are qualified in accordance with GR-468-CORE.
The transmitter section of the transceivers incorporate a
1300nm Fabry Perot (FP) laser. For each device the receiver
section uses an MOVPE grown planar PIN photodetector
for low dark current and excellent responsivity. A positive-
ECL logic interface simplifies interface to external circuitry.
The receiver section contains an InGaAs/InP photo detec-
tor and a preamplifier mounted in an optical subassembly.
This optical subassembly is coupled to a postamplifier/de-
cision circuit on a circuit board.
The AFCT-576xZ family of optical transceivers adds digital
diagnostic monitoring to standard SFP functionality, en-
abling fault isolation, components monitoring and failure
prediction capabilities.
SFP MSA Compliance
The product package is compliant with the SFP MSA with
the LC connector option. The SFP MSA includes specifica-
tions for mechanical packaging and performance as well as
dc, ac and control signal timing and performance.
The power supply is 3.3 V dc.
The High Speed I/O (HSIO) signal interface is a Low Voltage
Differential type. It is ac coupled and terminated internally
to the module. The internal termination is a 100 Ohm dif-
ferential load.
Installation
The AFCT-576xZ can be installed in any SFF-8074i compli-
ant Small Form Pluggable (SFP) port regardless of host
equipment operating status. The module is hot-plug-
gable, allowing it to be installed while the host system
is operating and online. Upon insertion, the transceiver
housing makes initial contact with the host board SFP
cage, mitigating potential damage due to electrostatic
discharge (ESD).

Transmitter Section
The transmitter section includes a 1310 nm Fabry-Perot
laser and a transmitter driver circuit. The driver circuit
maintains a constant optical power level provided that
the data pattern is valid for NRZ code. Connection to the
transmitter is provided via a LC optical connector.
The transmitter has full IEC 825 and CDRH Class 1 eye
safety.
TX_FAULT
A laser fault or a low V
CC
condition will activate the trans-
mitter fault signal, TX_FAULT, and disable the laser. This
signal is an open collector output (pull-up required on
the host board); A low signal indicates normal laser op-
eration and a high signal indicates a fault. The TX_FAULT
will be latched high when a laser fault occurs and is
cleared by toggling the TX_DISABLE input or power
cycling the transceiver. The TX_FAULT is not latched for
Low V
CC
. The transmitter fault condition can also be
monitored via the two-wire serial interface (address A2,
byte 110, bit 2). By default, TX_FAULT is set to trigger on
hardware faults only.
TX_DISABLE
The transmitter output can be disabled by asserting pin
3, TX_DISABLE. A high signal asserts this function while
a low signal allows normal laser operation. The transmit-
ter output can also be disabled and monitored via the
2-wire serial interface. In the event of a transceiver fault,
such as the activation of the eye safety circuit, toggling
of the TX_DISABLE will reset the transmitter, as depicted
in Figure 2.

Receiver Section
The receiver section for the AFCT-576xZ contains an
InGaAs/InP photo detector and a preamplifier mounted
in an optical subassembly. This optical subassembly is
coupled to a post amplifier/decision circuit on a circuit
board. The design of the optical subassembly provides
better than 12 dB Optical Return Loss (ORL).
Connection to the receiver is provided via a LC optical
connector.
Using the 2-wire serial interface, the AFCT-5765Z pro-
vides real time access to transceiver internal supply volt-
age and temperature, transmitter output power, laser
bias current and receiver average input power, allowing
a host to predict system compliance issues. These five
parameters are internally calibrated, per the MSA. New
digital diagnostic information is accessed per SFF-8472
using EEPROM bytes 0-255 at memory address 0xA2
(A2h).
The digital diagnostic interface also adds the ability to
disable the transmitter (TX_DISABLE), monitor for Trans-
mitter Faults (TX_FAULT) and monitor for Receiver Loss
of Signal (RX_LOS).
Contents of the MSA-compliant serial ID memory are
shown in Tables 3 to 7. The SFF-8074i and SFF-8472
specifications are available from the SFF Committee at
http://www.sffcommittee.org.
The I2C accessible memory page address 0xB0 is used
internally by SFP for the test and diagnostic purposes
and it is reserved.
RX_LOS
The receiver section contains a loss of signal (RX_LOS)
circuit to indicate when the optical input signal power
is insufficient for SONET/SDH compliance. A high signal
indicates loss of modulated signal, indicating link failure
such as a broken fiber or a failed transmitter. RX_LOS can
be also be monitored via the two-wire serial (address A2,
byte 110, bit 1).
Functional Data I/O
Avago’s AFCT-576xZ transceiver is designed to accept
industry standard differential signals. The transceiver pro-
vides an AC-coupled, internally terminated data interface.
Bias resistors and coupling capacitors have been included
within the module to reduce the number of components
required on the customer’s board. Figure 2 illustrates the
recommended interface circuit.
Predictive Failure Identification
The diagnostic information allows the host system to
identify potential link problems. Once identified, a fail-
over technique can be used to isolate and replace sus-
pect devices before system uptime is impacted.
Digital Diagnostic Interface and Serial Identification
The AFCT-576xZ family complies with the SFF-8074i spec-
ification, which defines the module’s serial identification
protocol to use the 2-wire serial CMOS EEPROM protocol
of the ATMEL AT24C01A or similar. Standard SFP EEPROM
bytes 0-255 are addressed per SFF-8074i at memory ad-
dress 0xA0 (A0h).
As an enhancement to the conventional SFP interface
defined in SFF-8074i, the AFCT-5765Z is also compliant
to SFF-8472 (the digital diagnostic interface for SFP). This
enhancement adds digital diagnostic monitoring to stan-
dard SFP functionality, enabling failure prediction, fault
isolation, and component monitoring capabilities.
Compliance Prediction
The real-time diagnostic parameters can be monitored
to alert the system when operating limits are exceeded
and compliance cannot be ensured.
Fault Isolation
The diagnostic information can allow the host to pin-
point the location of a link problem and accelerate sys-
tem servicing and minimize downtime.
Component Monitoring
As part of the host system monitoring, the real time di-
agnostic information can be combined with system level
monitoring to ensure system reliability.

Operating Temperature
The AFCT-576xZ family is available in either Extended
(-10 to +85°C) or Industrial (-40 to +85°C) temperature
ranges.
Power Supply Noise
The AFCT-576xZ can withstand an injection of PSN on the
V
CC
lines of 100 mV ac without a degradation in eye mask
margin to 10% on the transmitter and a 1 dB sensitivity
penalty on the receiver. This occurs when the product is
used in conjunction with the MSA recommended power
supply filter shown in Figure 3.
Regulatory Compliance
The transceiver regulatory compliance is provided in Table
1 as a figure of merit to assist the designer. The overall
equipment design will determine the certification level.
