AFCT-57V6USZ
Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) LC Optical Transceiver
for 1.25GBd Ethernet at Extended Link Lengths (Up to 80km)
Data Sheet
Description
The Avago Technologies AFCT-57V6USZ transceiver is a
low-cost and hot-pluggable SFP MSA-compliant optical
interconnect module for Gigabit Ethernet applications at
transmission distances up to 80km
[1, 2]
.
The AFCT-57V6USZ implements the serial portion of the
physical layer, and supports the features shown below
The AFCT-57V6USZ features differential serial I/O inter-
face lines that are AC-coupled signals. Avago’s design
of the long wavelength SFP module uses a 1550 nm
distributed feedback (DFB) laser diode (LD) and takes
advantage of an integrated preamplifier/photo-detector.
The AFCT-57V6USZ also contains transmitter, receiver and
control electronics.
Singlemode optical fiber, with LC connectors, is rec-
ommended as the communication media. The AFCT-
57V6USZ has a digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM)
function in accordance with SFF-8472
[3]
which allows
monitoring operating temperature, supply voltage, laser
bias current, transmitter optical output power and optical
received power in real time via a serial-ID interface.
On the following page, Table1 lists the general specifica-
tions for the AFCT-57V6USZ.
Figure 1 shows a simplified block diagram of the AFCT-
57V6USZ electronics

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Operation of the AFCT-57V6USZ beyond the Absolute
Maximum Ratings listed in Table 2 can degrade or dam-
age the product. With the exception of laser safety, it
is not implied that the product will function above the
Recommended Operating Conditions. It is possible to
reduce the reliability and lifetime of the device if the
Recommended Operating Conditions are exceeded (see
Table 3).
Recommended Operating Conditions
Table 3 lists the conditions under which the AFCT-
57V6USZ is tested and should be operated. It is possible
to reduce the reliability and lifetime of the device if these
ratings are exceeded for extended periods. Functional
operation should be restricted to these Recommended
Operating Conditions.

Handling Precautions
Avago advises that precautions be taken to avoid elec-
trostatic discharge (ESD) during handling, assembly, and
testing of the AFCT-57V6USZ. Degradation or damage
can occur if proper guidelines for handling ESD sensitive
devices are not followed. This could result in an inoper-
able device or unsafe operation as described above.
In particular, avoid getting particulate or solvent contami-
nation onto the optical surfaces of the laser and photo-
detector assemblies. It is also strongly recommended that
the LC connector receptacle be covered when not in use.
Excessive force when installing and extracting the AFCT-
57V6USZ should be avoided. Refer to the SFP Application
Note [6] for additional handling information.
Optical Description
Table 4 describes the performance of the transmitter por-
tion of the AFCT-57V6USZ over the operating conditions.
Table 5 describes the performance of the receiver portion
of the AFCT-57V6USZ over the operating conditions.
The optical pulse characteristics of the transmitter are
specified in the form of an eye pattern. When measured
in accordance with [2], the mask shown in Figure 2 evalu-
ates rise time, fall time, overshoot and undershoot.

Electrical Description
The supply current of the AFCT-57V6USZ is described in
Table 6 below. The inrush current is defined as the ad-
ditional inrush due to hot plugging.
The characteristics for the control and status signals are
shown in Table 7. Output status signals, TX_FAULT and
RX_LOS, are all open-collector/drain, and the levels indi-
cated assuming 4.7k-10k ohm pull-up resistor to Host_Vcc
is present. The levels of MOD_DEF[1] and MOD_DEF[2]
are also indicated assuming that they are pulled up with
a 4.7k-10k ohm resistor to +3.3 V on host board. Table 8
indicates the voltage levels required to be delivered by
the host to the transmitter differential serial data input
TD+/-. Table 9 indicates the voltage level output from the
receiver differential serial data output RD+/-.
