pigtail.
Description
The 1345-Type fiber-optic receiver is designed for
use in transmission systems or medium- to high-
speed data communication applications. Used in
intermediate- and long-reach applications, the
receiver operates at the SONET OC-3 or OC-12 data
rate as well as the ITU-T synchronous digital hierar-
chy (SDH) rate of STM-1 or STM-4, depending on
the receiver model chosen. The receiver meets all
present

GR-253-CORE
requirements, the current ANSI T1X1.5 intraoffice
specifications, and the ITU-T G.957 and G.958 rec-
ommendations. Compact packaging, a high level of
integration, and a wide dynamic range make these
receivers ideal for data communications.
Manufactured in a 20-pin DIP, the receiver consists of
a planar InGaAs PIN photodetector, a silicon pream-
plifier, a silicon bipolar limiting amplifier that converts
the small signal to ECL levels, a timing recovery unit
to recover the clock, and a silicon bipolar decision cir-
cuit.

Description
(continued)
The receiver converts optical signals in the range of
1.1
µm
to 1.6
µm
into retimed clock and data signals.
The clock and data outputs are raised-ECL (PECL)
logic levels. A CMOS-level flag output indicates when
there is a loss of optical signal.
The receiver requires a 5 V power supply for the ampli-
fier, logic, and PLL CRC circuits. The operating case
temperature range is –40 °C to +85 °C.
Flag Output
When the optical input falls below the link status flag
switching threshold, the link status flag is deactivated
and its output logic level changes from a CMOS logic
HIGH to a CMOS logic LOW.
Squelched Data and Clock Outputs
In some versions of the 1345 receiver (see Table 4),
when the link status flag is deactivated, the data and
clock outputs are squelched (stop outputting a signal).
When this occurs, the DATA, DATA, CLOCK, and
CLOCK outputs switch to a constant dc output voltage
level of 1.3 V.
Pin 10
Pin 10 on the 1345-Type receiver is not an internally
connected (NIC) pin. This definition allows the 1345 to
be used in most customer 20-pin receiver module
applications. Customer’s printed-wiring boards that are
designed with ground, +5 V, –5 V, or no connection to
this pin are all acceptable options. For those applica-
tions that require monitoring the photocurrent of the
PIN photodetector for power monitoring purposes,
there are versions of the 1345 that require +5 V or –5 V
applied to Pin 10. Check Tables 3 and 4 for ordering
information.
Nonsquelched Data and Clock Outputs
Agere Systems also manufactures nonsquelching ver-
sions of the 1345 receiver for those applications that
require the data and clock outputs to continue to func-
tion after the link status flag is deactivated. In those
versions of the receiver, when the link status flag is
deactivated, a signal will continue to appear at the
DATA, DATA, CLOCK, and CLOCK outputs. See Table 4
for nonsquelching codes.

Electrostatic Discharge
CAUTION: This device is susceptible to damage
as a result of electrostatic discharge
(ESD). Take proper precautions during
both handling and testing. Follow guide-
lines such as
EIA
®
Standard
EIA-625.
Although protection circuitry is designed into the
device, take proper precautions to avoid exposure to
ESD.
Agere Systems Inc. employs a human-body model
(HBM) for ESD susceptibility testing and protection-
design evaluation. ESD voltage thresholds are depen-
dent on the critical parameters used to define the
model. A standard HBM (resistance = 1.5 kΩ capaci-
tance = 100 pF) is widely used and, therefore, can be
used for comparison purposes. The HBM ESD thresh-
old established for the 1345 receiver is ±1000 V.
* Pins designated as no user connection are not connected inter-
nally. However, to allow for future functional upgrades, it is recom-
mended that the user not make any connections to these pins.
†
The link status flag is a logic flag that indicates the presence or
absence of a minimum acceptable level of optical input. A logic
high on the FLAG output indicates the presence of a valid optical
signal.
Receiver Processing
The 1345-Type receiver devices can withstand normal
wave-soldering processes. The complete receiver
module is not hermetically sealed; therefore, it should
not be immersed in or sprayed with any cleaning solu-
tion or solvents. The process cap and fiber pigtail jacket
can deform at temperatures greater than 85 °C. The
receiver pins can be wave-soldered at maximum tem-
perature of 250 °C for 10 seconds.
Mounting and Connections
The pigtail consists of a 39 in. ± 4 in. (1 m ± 10 cm),
62.5
µm

standard fiber has a 0.036 in. (914 µm) diameter tight-
buffered outer-jacket. The minimum fiber bending
radius during operation is 1.0 in. (25.4 mm).

Application Information
The 1345 receiver is a highly sensitive fiber-optic
receiver. Although the data outputs are digital logic lev-
els (PECL), the device should be thought of as an ana-
log component. When laying out the printed-wiring
board (PWB), the 1345 receiver should be given the
same type of consideration one would give to a sensi-
tive analog component.
At a minimum, a double-sided printed-wiring board with
a large component-side ground plane beneath the
receiver must be used. In applications that include
many other high-speed devices, a multilayer PWB is
highly recommended. This permits the placement of
power and ground connections on separate layers,
which helps minimize the coupling of unwanted signal
noise into the power supplies of the receiver.
Data and Flag Outputs
The data and clock outputs of the 1345 receiver are
driven by open-emitter NPN transistors which have an
output impedance of approximately 7
Ω.
Each output
can provide approximately 50 mA maximum output cur-
rent. Due to the high switching speeds of ECL outputs,
transmission line design must be used to interconnect
components. To ensure optimum signal fidelity, both
data outputs (DATA and DATA) and clock outputs
(CLOCK and CLOCK) should be terminated identically.
The signal lines connecting the data and clock outputs
to the next device should be equal in length and should
have matched impedances.
Controlled impedance stripline or microstrip construc-
tion must be used in order not to degrade the quality of
the signal into the next component and to minimize
reflections back into the receiver. Excessive ringing due
to reflections caused by improperly terminated signal
lines makes it difficult for the component receiving
these signals to decipher the proper logic levels and
may cause transitions to occur where none were
intended. Also, by minimizing high frequency ringing
due to reflections caused by improperly designed and
terminated signal lines, possible EMI problems can be
avoided. The applications sections in the Signetics™
ECL 10K/100K Data Manual

ductor
®
ECL Logic Databook and Design Guide
pro-
vide excellent design information on ECL interfacing.
The FLAG and FLAG outputs of the OC-3/STM-1
155 Mbits/s receiver and the OC-12/STM-4 622 Mbits/s
receiver are 5 V TTL logic-level compatible. The FLAG
output is provided directly by the comparator IC. How-
ever, the FLAG output is derived from the FLAG output
through an inverter. Excessive loading of the FLAG out-
put can cause the FLAG output to malfunction.
Layout Considerations
A fiber-optic receiver employs a very high-gain, wide-
bandwidth transimpedance amplifier. The amplifier
detects and amplifies signals that are only tens of nA in
amplitude. Any unwanted signal currents that couple
into the receiver circuitry cause a decrease in the
receiver's sensitivity and can also degrade the perfor-
mance of the receiver's loss of signal (FLAG) circuit. To
minimize the coupling of unwanted noise into the
receiver, route high-level, high-speed signals such as
transmitter inputs and clock lines as far away as possi-
ble from the receiver pins. If this is not possible, then
the PWB layout engineer should consider interleaving
the receiver signal and flag traces with ground traces in
order to provide the required isolation.
Noise that couples into the receiver through the power
supply pins can also degrade device performance. The
application schematics, Figures 2—3, show recom-
mended power supply filtering that helps minimize
noise coupling into the receiver. The bypass capacitors
should be high-quality ceramic devices rated for RF
applications. They should be surface-mount compo-
nents placed as close as possible to the receiver power
supply pins. The ferrite bead should have as high an
impedance as possible in the frequency range that is
most likely to cause problems. This will vary for each
application and is dependent on the signaling frequen-
cies present on the application circuit card. Surface-
mount, high-impedance beads are available from sev-
eral manufacturers.
Recommended User Interface
The 1345 receiver is designed to be operated from a
5 V power supply and provides raised or pseudo-ECL
(PECL) data outputs. Figures 2 and 3 show two possi-
ble application circuits for the 1345 receiver. Figure 2
represents an application for a PECL compatible inter-
face while Figure 3 shows a possible application for an
ac-coupled, ECL-compatible interface. In both
instances, the DATA outputs are terminated with a
Thévenin equivalent circuit, which provides the equiva-
lent of a 50
Ω
load terminated to (V
CC
– 2 V). A single
50
Ω
resistor terminated to (V
CC
– 2 V) could also be
used, but this requires a second power supply. Other
methods of terminating ECL-type outputs are dis-
cussed in the references previously mentioned.
