Accelar™
2 Gbps 850 nm SFP Transceivers with Optional Triple-Rate,
Extended Temperature & Voltage, and Digital Diagnostics
PL-XPL-Vx-S2x-xx
This standard dual-rate Small Form Factor Pluggable
(SFP) transceiver provides superior performance for Fibre
Channel applications, and is another in Picolight’s family
of
Accelar
products customized for high speed, short
reach LAN, SAN, and intra-POP applications. The multi-
rate feature enables its use in a wider range of system
applications without the need to provide the rate select
input. It is fully compliant with both FC-PI
100-M5/M6-SN-I and 200-M5/M6-SN-I specifications and
is optionally compliant with IEEE 802.3 1000Base-SX.
This transceiver features the highly reliable 850 nm 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.

Temperature & Voltage, and Digital Diagnostics
Section 1
Functional description
The PL-XPL-Vx-S2x-xx 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.
Transmitter
The transmitter converts 8B/10B encoded serial PECL electrical data into serial optical data meeting
the requirements of 100-M5/M6-SN-I and 200-M5/M6-SN-I Fibre Channel and 1000Base-SX (Optional
Feature) specifications. Transmit data lines (TD+ & TD-) are internally AC coupled with 100
Ω
differential termination.
An open collector compatible Transmit Disable (TD
is
) 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.
The transmitter has an internal PIN monitor diode that is used to ensure constant optical power output
across supply voltage and temperature variations.
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.
Receiver
The receiver converts 8B/10B encoded serial optical data into serial PECL electrical data. Receive
data lines (RD+ & RD-) are internally AC coupled with 100
Ω
differential source impedance, and must
be terminated with a 100
Ω
differential load.
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 3.4 Optical characteristic, 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 3 on page 6.

Notes
Power supply filtering components should be placed as close to the V
cc
pins of the host connector as
possible for optimal performance.
PECL driver and receiver will require biasing networks. Please consult application notes from suppliers
of these components.
MOD_DEF(2) and MOD_DEF(1) should be bi-directional open collector connections in order to
implement serial ID (MOD_DEF[0,1,1]) PL-XPL-Vx-S2x-xx transceiver.
*
Transmission lines should be 100
Ω
differential traces. It is recommended that the termination resistor for
the PECL Receiver (R3 + R4) be placed beyond the input pins of the PECL Receiver. Series Source
Termination Resistors on the PECL Driver (R1+R2) should be placed as close to the driver output pins as
possible.
