Description
The AFCT-5961TLZ/TGZ/ATLZ/ATGZ/NLZ/NGZ are high
performance, cost eective modules for serial optical
data communications applications specied for a signal
rate of 155 Mb/s. They are designed to provide SONET/
SDH compliant intermediate and long reach links at 155
Mb/s.
All modules are designed for single mode ber and
operate at a nominal wavelength of 1300 nm. They in-
corporate high performance, reliable, long wavelength
optical devices and proven circuit technology to give
long life and consistent service.
The transmitter section of the AFCT-5961TLZ/TGZ/
ATLZ/ATGZ/NLZ/NGZ incorporates a 1300 nm Fabry
Perot (FP) laser. The transmitter has full IEC 825 and
CDRH Class 1 eye safety.
The receiver section uses an MOVPE grown planar PIN
photodetector for low dark current and excellent re-
sponsivity.
A pseudo-ECL compatible logic interface simplies
interface to external circuitry.
These transceivers are supplied in the new industry
standard 2 x 5 DIP style package with the LC ber
connector interface and is footprint compatible with
SFF Multi Source Agreement (MSA).

Functional Description
Receiver Section
Design
The receiver section for the AFCT-5961TLZ/TGZ/ATLZ/
ATGZ/NLZ/NGZ contains an InGaAs/InP photo detector
and a preamplier mounted in an optical subassem-
bly. This optical subassembly is coupled to a postamp/
decision circuit on a circuit board. The design of the
optical assembly is such that it provides better than 14
dB Optical Return Loss (ORL).
The postamplier is ac coupled to the preamplier as il-
lustrated in Figure 1. The coupling capacitors are large
enough to pass the SONET/SDH test pattern at 155 Mb/
s without signicant distortion or performance penalty.
If a lower signal rate, or a code which has signicantly
more low frequency content is used, sensitivity, jitter
and pulse distortion could be degraded.
Figure 1 also shows a lter function which limits the
bandwidth of the preamp output signal. The lter is
designed to bandlimit the preamp output noise and
thus improve the receiver sensitivity.
These components will reduce the sensitivity of the
receiver as the signal bit rate is increased above 155
Mb/s.
Noise Immunity
The receiver includes internal circuit components to
lter power supply noise. However under some condi-
tions of EMI and power supply noise, external power
supply ltering may be necessary (see Application
Section).
The Signal Detect Circuit
The signal detect circuit works by sensing the level
of the received signal and comparing this level to a

Transmitter Section
Design
A schematic diagram for the transmitter is shown in
Figure 2. The AFCT-5961TLZ/TGZ/ATLZ/ATGZ/NLZ/NGZ
incorporates an FP laser as its optical source. All part
numbers have been designed to be compliant with
IEC 825 eye safety requirements under any single fault
condition and CDRH under normal operating condi-
tions. The optical output is controlled by a custom IC
that detects the laser output via the monitor photodi-
ode. This IC provides both dc and ac current drive to
the laser to ensure correct modulation, eye diagram
and extinction ratio over temperature, supply voltage
and operating life.
