The TRXAG1M SFP series of multi-rate fiber optic transceivers with integrated
digital diagnostics monitoring functionality provide a quick and reliable in-
terface for 1000BASE-LX Gigabit Ethernet and 1.062GBd Fibre Channel ap-
plications. The transceivers are designed to support data rates ranging from
1.25Gb/s down to 125Mb/s. The diagnostic functions, alarm and warning fea-
tures as described in the Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) document, SFF-8472
(Rev. 9.4), are provided via an I
2
C serial interface.
Four options are offered with minimum optical link power budgets of 11, 18,
22 and 24dB to support 10km to 80km link applications. Option “LX” uses a
1310nm Fabry Perot laser and provides a minimum optical link budget of
11dB, corresponding to a minimum distance of 10km, assuming fiber loss of
0.45dB/km. Option “EX” uses a 1310nm DFB laser and provides a minimum op-
tical link budget of 18dB, corresponding to a minimum distance of 40km, as-
suming fiber loss of 0.35dB/km. Options “YX” and “ZX” use 1550nm DFB lasers
and provide a minimum optical link budgets of 22dB and 24dB respectively,
which correspond to minimum distances of 72km and 80km, assuming fiber
loss of 0.25dB/km. All modules satisfy Class I Laser Safety requirements in ac-
cordance with the U.S. FDA/CDRH and international IEC-60825 standards.
The transceivers connect to standard 20-pad SFP connectors for hot plug ca-
pability. This allows the system designer to make configuration changes or
maintenance by simply plugging in different types of transceivers without
removing the power supply from the host system.
The transceivers have colored bail-type latches, which offer an easy and
convenient way to release the modules. The latch is compliant with the SFP
MSA.
The transmitter and receiver DATA interfaces are AC-coupled internally. LV-
TTL Transmitter Disable control input and Loss of Signal output interfaces are
also provided.
The transceivers operate from a single +3.3V power supply over three oper-
ating case temperature ranges of -5°C to +70°C, -25°C to +85°C, or -40°C to
+85°C. The housing is made of plastic and metal for EMI immunity.

Application Notes
Electrical Interface:
All signal interfaces are compliant with
the SFP MSA specification. The high speed DATA interface
is differential AC-coupled internally and can be directly
connected to a 3.3V SERDES IC. All low speed control and sense
output signals are open collector TTL compatible and should
be pulled up with a 4.7 - 10kΩ resistor on the host board.
Loss of Signal (LOS):
The Loss of Signal circuit monitors the
level of the incoming optical signal and generates a logic HIGH
when an insufficient photocurrent is produced.
TX Fault:
The output indicates LOW when the transmitter
is operating normally, and HIGH with a laser fault including
laser end-of-life. TX Fault is an open collector/drain output
and should be pulled up with a 4.7 - 10kΩ resistor on the host
board. TX Fault in non-latching (automatically deasserts when
fault goes away).
TX Disable:
When the TX Disable pin is at logic HIGH, the
transmitter optical output is disabled (less than -45dBm).
Serial Identification and Monitoring:
The module definition
of SFP is indicated by the three module definition pins,
MOD_DEF(0), MOD_DEF(1) and MOD_DEF(2). Upon power
up, MOD_DEF(1:2) appear as NC (no connection), and
MOD_DEF(0) is TTL LOW. When the host system detects this
condition, it activates the serial protocol (standard two-wire
I
2
C serial interface) and generates the serial clock signal (SCL).
The positive edge clocks data into the EEPROM segments of
the SFP that are not write protected, and the negative edge
clocks data from the SFP.
The serial data signal (SDA) is for serial data transfer. The
host uses SDA in conjunction with SCL to mark the start and
end of serial protocol activation. The supported monitoring
functions are temperature, voltage, bias current, transmitter
power, average receiver signal, all alarms and warnings, and
software monitoring of TX Fault/LOS. The device is internally
calibrated.
The data transfer protocol and the details of the mandatory
and vendor specific data structures are defined in the SFP MSA,
and SFF-8472, Rev. 9.4.
Power Supply and Grounding:
The power supply line should
be well-filtered. All 0.1μF power supply bypass capacitors
should be as close to the transceiver module as possible.
Laser Safety:
All transceivers are Class I Laser products
per FDA/CDRH and IEC-60825 standards. They must be
The indicated transmission distance is for guidelines only, not guaranteed. The exact distance is dependent on the fiber loss, connector and splice loss,
and allocated system penalty. Longer distances can be supported if the optical link power budget is satisfied.
Assuming a total connector and splice loss of 2dB, total system penalty of 2dB and fiber cable loss of 0.35dB/km.
Assuming a total connector and splice loss of 2dB, total system penalty of 2dB and fiber cable loss of 0.25dB/km.
