PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The MGBC-20-8-X-S GBIC transceiver module is a high
performance integrated duplex data link for bi-directional
communication over single mode or multimode optical
fiber. It is compliant with the Gigabit Interface Converter
(GBIC) specification. The MGBC-20-8 is specifically
designed for high speed Fibre Channel data links at
2.125 Gbps. The Methode GBIC transceiver is hot
pluggable which allows a suitably designed enclosure to
be changed from one type of external interface to another
simply by plugging in a GBIC having the alternative
external interface.
SHORT WAVELENGTH LASER
The use of short wavelength lasers and high volume
production processes has resulted in a low cost, high
performance datalink which communicates reliably at
distances of 300 m over 50µm multimode optical fiber
with data transfer rates of 2.125 GBaud.
LONG WAVELENGTH LASER
For intermediate and long reach data links, the
MGBC-20-8-2-S with single mode optics can extend the
interconnect distance in excess of 20km.

TERMINATION CIRCUITS
Inputs to the MGBC-20 transmitter are AC coupled and internally terminated through 75 ohms to AC ground. These
modules can operate with PECL or ECL logic levels. The input signal must have at least a 350mV peak-to-peak (single
ended) signal swing. Output from the receiver section of the module is also AC coupled and is expected to drive into a
75 ohm load. Different termination strategies may be required depending on the particular Serializer/Deserializer chip
set used.
The MGBC-20 product family is designed with AC coupled data inputs and outputs to provide the
following advantages:
n
Close positioning of SERDES with respect to transceiver; allows for shorter line lengths and at
gigabit speeds reduces EMI.
n
Minimum number of external components.
n
Internal termination reduces the potential for unterminated stubs which would otherwise increase
jitter and reduce transmission margin.
Subsequently, this affords the customer the ability to optimally locate the SERDES as close to the MGBC-20 as
possible and save valuable real estate. At gigabit rates this can provide a significant advantage resulting in better
transmission performance and accordingly better signal integrity.
Figure 1 illustrates the recommended transmit and receive data line terminations.

POWER COUPLING
®
A suggested layout for power and ground connections is given in figure 2A below. Connections are made via separate voltage
and ground planes. The mounting posts are at case ground and should not be connected to circuit ground. The ferrite bead
should provide a real impedance of 50 to 100 ohms at 100 to 1000 MHz. Bypass capacitors should be placed as close to the
20 pin connector as possible.

SIGNAL DESCRIPTION:
TX_FAULT:
Active high signal. A TX_FAULT is defined as the failure of the optical output of the GBIC and it is internally latched.
On the rising edge of the TX_DISABLE, the latched laser fault will be cleared and TX_FAULT will remain deasserted while
TX_DISABLE is asserted. The host shall provide a 4.7K to 10K Ohm pull up resistor to Vcc. The TX_FAULT will also be as-
serted but not latched if the Vcc falls below the lower Vcc limit.
TX_DISABLE
:
Active high logic input which disables the optical output. This signal is driven by the host. While asserted, the
GBIC module disables all laser light output. This pin is internally pulled up to Vcc through a 10K Ohm resistor for short wave-
length and a 4.7K Ohm resistor for long wavelength. The TX_DISABLE must be pulled low or connected to circuit ground by the
host to enable the GBIC output.
RX_LOS
:
The RX_LOS signal is intended as a preliminary indication to the system in which the GBIC is installed that the link
signals are likely to be outside the required values for proper operation. Such indications typically point to non-installed cables,
broken cables, or a disabled, failing or powered off transmitter at the far end of the cable. Additional indications are provided by
the system in which the GBIC is installed to verify that the information being transmitted is valid, correctly encoded and in the
correct format. Such additional indications are outside the scope of the GBIC specification. RX_LOS will also be asserted if the
Vcc falls below the lower Vcc limit. The host shall provide a 4.7k to 10k Ohm pullup resistor to Vcc.
RGND
Receiver ground. It is internally connected to TGND plane.
TGND
Transmitter ground. It is internally connected to RGND plane.
±RX_DAT
High speed serial differential PECL receiver data.
±TX_DAT
High speed serial differential PECl transmit data.
