Figure 7. Recommended Board Layout Hole Pattern
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
One of a circuit board designer’s foremost concerns is
the control of electromagnetic emissions from electronic
equipment. Success in controlling generated Electro-
magnetic Interference (EMI) enables the designer to pass
a governmental agency’s EMI regulatory standard and
more importantly, it reduces the possibility of interfer-
ence to neighboring equipment. Avago Technologies has
designed the AFCT-5964TLZ/TGZ/ATLZ/ATGZ/NLZ/NGZ
to provide excellent EMI performance. The EMI perfor-
mance of a chassis is dependent on physical design and
features which help improve EMI suppression. Avago
Technologies encourages using standard RF suppression
practices and avoiding poorly EMI-sealed enclosures.
Avago Technologies OC-3 LC transceivers (AFCT-5964TLZ/
TGZ/ATLZ/ATGZ/NLZ/NGZ) have nose shields which
provide a convenient chassis connection to the nose of
the transceiver. This nose shield improves system EMI
performance by e ectively closing o the LC aperture.
The recommended transceiver position, PCB layout and
panel opening for these devices are the same, making
them mechanically drop-in compatible. Figure 8 shows
the recommended positioning of the transceivers with
respect to the PCB and faceplate.
Package footprint and front panel considerations
Avago Technologies transceivers comply with the circuit
board “Common Transceiver Footprint” hole pattern
de ned in the current multisource agreement which
de ned the 2 x 10 package style. This drawing is repro-
duced in Figure 7 with the addition of ANSI Y14.5M
compliant dimensioning to be used as a guide in the
mechanical layout of your circuit board. Figure 8 shows
the front panel dimensions associated with such a layout.
Eye Safety Circuit
For an optical transmitter device to be eye-safe in the
event of a single fault failure, the transmitter must either
maintain eye-safe operation or be disabled.
The AFCT-5964TLZ/TGZ/ATLZ/ATGZ/NLZ/NGZ is intrinsi-
cally eye safe and does not require shut down circuitry.
Signal Detect
The Signal Detect circuit provides a de-asserted output
signal when the optical link is broken (or when the
remote transmitter is OFF). The Signal Detect threshold
is set to transition from a high to low state between the
minimum receiver input optical power and -45 dBm avg.
input optical power indicating a de nite optical fault
(e.g. unplugged connector for the receiver or transmitter,
broken ber, or failed far-end transmitter or data source).
The Signal Detect does not detect receiver data error or
error-rate. Data errors can be determined by signal pro-
cessing o ered by upstream PHY ICs.

Notes:
1. This gure describes the recommended circuit
board layout for the SFF transceiver.
2. The hatched areas are keep-out areas reserved
for housing stando s. No metal traces or ground
connection in keep-out areas.
3. 2 X 10 transceiver module requires 26 PCB holes
(20 I/O pins, 2 solder posts and 4 optional pack-
age grounding tabs). Package grounding tabs
should be connected to signal ground.
*4. The mounting studs should be soldered to
chassis ground for mechanical integrity and to
ensure footprint compatibility with other SFF
transceivers.
*5. Holes for optional housing leads must be tied to
signal ground.
