Board Layout - Decoupling Circuit, Ground Planes and
Termination Circuits
It is important to take care in the layout of your circuit
board to achieve optimum perform ance from these trans-
ceivers. Figure 7 provides a good example of a schematic
for a power supply decoupling circuit that works well with
these parts. It is further recommended that a continuous
ground plane be provided in the circuit board directly
under the transceiver to provide a low inductance ground
for signal return current. This recommen dation is in keeping
with good high frequency board layout practices. Figures
7 and 8 show two recommended termination schemes.
Board Layout - Hole Pattern
The Avago Technologies trans ceiver complies with the
circuit board “Common Transceiver Footprint” hole pattern
de ned in the original multisource announce ment which
de ned the 2 x 5 package style. This drawing is repro duced
in Figure 9 with the addition of ANSI Y14.5M compliant
dimensioning to be used as a guide in the mechani cal
layout of your circuit board.
Regulatory Compliance
These transceiver products are intended to enable
commercial system designers to develop equipment
that complies with the various international regula-
tions governing certi ca tion of Information Technol-
ogy Equipment. See the Regulatory Compliance Table
for details. Additional information is available from your
Avago Technologies sales representative.

NOTES:
1. THIS FIGURE DESCRIBES THE RECOMMENDED CIRCUIT BOARD LAYOUT FOR THE MT-RJ
TRANSCEIVER PLACED AT .550 SPACING.
2. THE HATCHED AREAS ARE KEEP-OUT AREAS RESERVED FOR HOUSING STANDOFFS. NO
METAL TRACES OR GROUND CONNECTION IN KEEP-OUT AREAS.
3. 10 PIN MODULE REQUIRES ONLY 16 PCB HOLES, INCLUDING 4 PACKAGE GROUNDING TAB
HOLES CONNECTED TO SIGNAL GROUND.
4. THE SOLDER POSTS SHOULD BE SOLDERED TO CHASSIS GROUND FOR MECHANICAL
INTEGRITY AND TO ENSURE FOOTPRINT COMPATIBILITY WITH OTHER SFF TRANSCEIVERS.
