PLRXPL-VC-SH4-21-N
Accelar™ RoHS-Compliant 8.5 Gbps
850 nm eSFP Limiting Transceiver
Picolight Components set the standard for performance and quality
This lead-free and RoHS-compliant Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP)
transceiver provides superior performance for applications at 8.5Gbps data
high speed, short reach SAN, and intra-POP applications. The transceiver is
intended to be fully compliant with 8G Fibre Channel Specifications as well
as the SFP+ MSA. The 8G Fibre Channel specification, FC-PI-4, and the SFP+
MSA, SFF-8431, have not been completed yet and therefore this data sheet
will be revised as necessary to maintain consistency with those specifications.
Picolight’s improved housing provides superior EMI performance for demanding
8.5Gbps applications. This transceiver features a highly reliable 850nm oxide
vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) coupled to a LC optical connector.
Its small size allows for high-density board designs that, in turn, enable greater
total aggregate bandwidth.

SECTION 1 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The PLRXPL-VC-SH4-21-N 850 nm VCSEL Gigabit Transceiver is designed to transmit and receive 8B/10B encoded serial
optical data over 50/125 μm or 62.5/125 μm multimode optical fiber.
T
RANSMITTER
The transmitter converts 8B/10B encoded serial PECL or CML electrical data into serial optical data compliant with
the 8G Fibre Channel specification. Transmit data lines (TD+ & TD-) are internally AC coupled with 100 Ω differential
termination.
An open collector compatible Transmit Disable (Tx_Dis) is provided. This pin is internally terminated with a 10 kΩ
”
resistor to Vcc
T
. A logic “1, or no connection on this pin will disable the laser from transmitting. A logic “0” on this
pin provides normal operation.
Rate Select_1 (RS1), pin 9, is defined as the TX Rate select pin in SFF-8431 and is connected internally to a 30kΩ pull-
down resistor. A data signal on this pin has no affect on the operation of the transmitter.
An open collector compatible Transmit Fault (TFault) is provided. The Transmit Fault signal must be pulled high on the
host board for proper operation. A logic “1” output from this pin indicates that a transmitter fault has occurred, or the
part is not fully seated and the transmitter is disabled. A logic “0” on this pin indicates normal operation.
R
ECEIVER
The receiver converts 8B/10B encoded serial optical data into serial PECL/CML electrical data. Receive data lines (RD+
& RD-) are internally AC coupled with 100Ω differential source impedance, and must be terminated with a 100Ω dif-
ferential load.
Rate Select_0 (RS0), pin 7, is defined as the RX Rate select pin in SFF-8431 and is connected internally to a 30kΩ pull-
down resistor. A data signal on this pin has no affect on the operation of the receiver.
An open collector compatible Loss of Signal is provided. The LOS must be pulled high on the host board for proper
operation. A logic “0” indicates that light has been detected at the input to the receiver (see Section 2.5 Optical
characteristics, Loss of Signal Assert/Deassert Time on page 10). A logic “1” output indicates that insufficient light has
been detected for proper operation.
Power supply filtering is recommended for both the transmitter and receiver. Filtering should be placed on the host
assembly as close to the Vcc pins as possible for optimal performance.
Recommended “Application Schematics” are shown in Figure 2 on page 6.
