AFCT-5943LZ, AFCT-5943ALZ
Single Mode SFF Transceivers for SONET
OC-48/SDH STM-16 Multirate Operation
(Part of the Avago Technologies’ METRAK family)
Data Sheet
Description
The AFCT-5943xxZ are high performance, cost eective
modules for serial optical data communications applica-
tions that range from 125 Mb/s to 2.7 Gb/s. They are de-
signed to provide SONET/SDH compliant links at 2488
Mb/s for short reach links.
The 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-5943LZ/ALZ incor-
porates a 1300 nm Fabry Perot (FP) laser. The transmit-
ter has full IEC 825 and CDRH Class 1 eye safety.
For each device the receiver section uses an MOVPE
grown planar SEDET PIN photodetector for low dark
current and excellent responsivity.
A positive ECL logic interface simplies interface to ex-
ternal circuitry.
The transceivers are supplied in the new industry stan-
dard 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-5943xxZ contains an
InGaAs/InP photo detector and a preamplier mounted
in an optical subassembly. 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 27 dB Optical Return Loss (ORL).
The postamplier is ac coupled to the preamplier as
illustrated in Figure 1. The coupling capacitors are large
enough to pass the SONET/SDH test pattern at 155 Mb/
s, 622 Mb/s and 2488 Mb/s without signicant distor-
tion or performance penalty. For multirate applications
the sensitivity will meet the maximum SONET specica-
tion for OC48 across all datarates (-19 dBm), also for DC
balanced codes, e.g. 8B/10B. For codes which have a
signicantly lower frequency content, jitter and pulse
distortion could be degraded.
The receiver outputs are squelched at Signal Detect
deasserts. That is, when the light input decreases to
typical -27 dBm or less, the Signal Detect deasserts i.e.
the SD Output goes to a PECL low state. This forces the
DATA OUT and DATA OUT Bar to go PECL levels high
and low respectively.
Figure 1 also shows a lter function which limits the
bandwidth of the preamp output signal. The lter is de-
signed to bandlimit the preamp output noise and thus
improve the receiver sensitivity.
These components will reduce the sensitivity of the re-
ceiver as the signal bit rate is increased above 2.7 Gb/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 Sec-
tion).
The Signal Detect Circuit
The signal detect circuit works by sensing the peak level
of the received signal and comparing this level to a ref-
erence. The SD output is low voltage TTL.

Functional Description
Transmitter Section
Design
A schematic diagram for the transmitter is shown in
Figure 2. The AFCT-5943LZ/ALZ incorporates an FP laser
and has been designed to be compliant with IEC 825
eye safety requirements under any single fault condi-
tion and CDRH under normal operating conditions. The
optical output is controlled by a custom IC that detects
the laser output via the monitor photodiode. This IC
provides both dc and ac current drive to the laser to en-
sure correct modulation, eye diagram and extinction ra-
tio over temperature, supply voltage and operating life.
