HFBR-5911ALZ

Description
The HFBR-5911LZ/ALZ optical transceiver from Avago
Technologies is designed for use in short-reach multi-
mode ber optic (1000BASE-SX) links between Gigabit
Ethernet networking equipment. Interoperable with
all equipment meeting the Gigabit Ethernet industry
standard, it is compliant with the Small Form Factor Multi
Source Agreement and requires a 3.3 V dc power supply.
The electrical interface follows the 2 x 5 format while the
optical interface uses the LC-Duplex connector.

Overview
Avago Technologies’ HFBR-5911LZ/ALZ optical transceiver
supports high-speed serial links over multimode optical
ber at signaling rates of up to 1.25 Gb/s. Compliant
with the Small Form Factor (SFF) Multi Source Agreement
(MSA)for2x5pinLCDuplextransceiversandIEEE802.3
specication for Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) links (1000BASE-
SX), the part is interoperable and interchangeable with
other conformant devices. Supported Gigabit Ethernet
link lengths are described in Table 1, but the transceiver
can also be used for other high-speed serial applications,
such as iSCSI.
The SFF package of the HFBR-5911LZ/ALZ allows design-
ers of Gigabit Ethernet networking equipment to maxi-
mize their use of available board space. The footprint
of the HFBR-5911LZ/ALZ is signicantly smaller than
those of other GbE transceivers formats - 25% smaller
thanSFPcageassemblies,30%smallerthantraditional
1 x 9 transceivers and 70% smaller than GBIC rail as-
semblies. The HFBR-5911LZ/ALZ trace keep-out area is
lessthan10%aslargeasthatrequiredbySFPtransceiv-
ers. For applications not requiring hot-pluggability, the
HFBR-5911LZ/ALZ oers a more space-ecient package
without the additional cost and complexity imposed by
pluggable architecture.
Module Diagrams
The major functional components of the HFBR-5911LZ/ALZ
are illustrated in Figure 2 page 9. The external congu-
ration of the transceiver is depicted in Figure 3 page 10
while the host board and front panel layouts dened by
theSFFMSAareshowninFigure4,page11.
Transmitter Section
The transmitter section consists of the Transmitter Optical
Subassembly (TOSA) and laser driver circuitry. The TOSA,
containingan850nmVCSEL(VerticalCavitySurfaceEmit-
ting Laser) light source, is located at the optical interface and
mates with the LC optical connector. The TOSA is driven by
acustomICwhichusestheincomingdierentialPECLlogic
signals to modulate the laser diode drive current. This Tx laser
driver circuit regulates the optical output power at a constant
level provided that the incoming data pattern is dc balanced
(8B10Bcodeforexample).
Tx_Disable
The HFBR-5911LZ/ALZ accepts a TTL transmit disable
control signal input which shuts down the transmitter. A
high signal implements this function while a low signal
allows normal transceiver operation. In the event of a
fault (e.g., eye safety circuit activated), cycling this control
signal resets the module as depicted in Figure 5 page 12.
A pull-down resistor enables the laser if the line is not
connected on the host board.
Host systems should allow a 10 ms interval between suc-
cessive assertions of this control signal.
Eye Safety Circuit
The HFBR-5911LZ/ALZ provides Class 1 eye safety by
design and has been tested for compliance with the
requirements listed in Table 11. The eye safety circuit
continuously monitors optical output power levels and
will disable the transmitter upon detecting an unsafe
condition. Such unsafe conditions can be due to inputs
from the host board (V
CC
uctuation, unbalanced code)
or faults within the transceiver.
Receiver Section
The receiver section includes the Receiver Optical Subassem-
bly (ROSA) and the amplication/quantization circuitry. The
ROSA,containingaPINphotodiodeandcustomtransimped-
ance preamplier, is located at the optical interface and mates
with the LC optical connector. The ROSA output is fed to a
custom IC that provides post-amplication and quantization.
Signal Detect
The post-amplication/quantizer IC also includes transition
detection circuitry that monitors the ac level of the incoming
optical signal and provides a TTL status signal to the host. An
adequate optical input results in a high output while a low
Signal Detect output indicates an unusable optical input. The
Signal Detect thresholds are set so that a low output indicates
a denite optical fault has occurred (e.g., disconnected or
broken ber connection to receiver, failed transmitter, etc.).

Electrical Interfaces
The HFBR-5911LZ/ALZ interfaces with the host circuit
board through the ten I/O pins identied by function in
Table4.Thesepinsaresizedforuseinboardsbetween
0.062in. and 0.100 in. thick. The board layoutforthis

The HFBR-5911LZ/ALZ transmit and receive interfaces
requirePECLdierentialsignallinesonthehostboard.To
simplify board requirements, transmitter bias resistors and
ac coupling capacitors are incorporated into the transceiver
module and so are not required on the host board.
The Tx_Disable and Signal Detect lines require TTL lines on
the host board if they are to be utilized. The transceiver will
operate normally if these lines are not connected on the host
board.
Figure 2 depicts a recommended interface circuit to link the
HFBR-5911LZ/ALZ to the supporting physical layer ICs.
Timing for the MSA compliant control signals implement-
ed in this transceiver are listed in Table 9 and diagramed
in Figure 5.
PCB Assembly Process Compatibility
The HFBR-5911LZ/ALZ is compatible with industry-
standard wave solder and aqueous wash processes as
detailed in Table 10. The transceiver is shipped with a
process plug to keep out impinging liquids, but is not
intended to be immersed. After assembly, the process
plug should be kept in place as a dust plug when the
transceiver is not in use.
Regulatory Compliance
The HFBR-5911LZ/ALZ complies with all ap-
plicable laws and regulations as detailed in
Table 11. Certication level is dependent of the overall
conguration of the host equipment. The transceiver
performance is oered as a gure of merit to assist the
designer.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
The HFBR-5911LZ/ALZ is compatible with ESD levels found
in typical manufacturing and operating environments as de-
scribed in Table 11. In the normal handling and operation of
optical transceivers, ESD is of concern in two circumstances.
The rst case is during handling of the transceiver prior to
soldering onto the host board. To protect the device, it’s
important to use normal ESD handling precautions. These
include using grounded wrist straps, workbenches and oor
mats wherever the transceiver is handled.
The second case to consider is static discharges to the exterior
of the host equipment chassis after assembly. If the optical
interface is exposed to the exterior of the host equipment
cabinet, the transceiver may be subject to system-level ESD
requirements.
EMI Immunity
Due to its shielded design, the EMI immunity of the HFBR-
5911LZ/ALZ exceeds typical industry standards.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
Equipment incorporating Gigabit transceivers is typically sub-
jecttoregulationbytheFCCintheUnitedStates,TUVinthe
EuropeanUnionandVCCIinJapan.TheHFBR-5911LZ/ALZs
compliance to these standards is detailed in Table 11.
The metal housing and shielded design of the HFBR-
5911LZ/ALZ minimize the EMI challenge facing the
equipment designer.
Flammability
The HFBR-5911LZ/ALZ optical transceiver is made of metal
and high strength, heat resistant, chemical resistant and
UL94V-0ameretardantplastic.
Caution
There are no user serviceable parts nor any maintenance
required for the HFBR-5911LZ/ALZ. All adjustments are
made at the factory before shipment. Tampering with,
modifying, misusing or improperly handling the HFBR-
5911LZ/ALZ will void the product warranty. It may also
result in improper operation and possibly overstress the
lasersource.Performancedegradationordevicefailure
may result. Connection of the HFBR-5911LZ/ALZ to a
light source not compliant to the Gigabit Ethernet speci-
cation(IEEE802.3),operatingabovetherecommended
absolute maximum operating conditions or in a manner
inconsistent with it’s design and function may result in
exposure to hazardous radiation and may constitute
an act of modifying or manufacturing a laser product.
