AFBR-59SMI2Z
250-MBd Compact 650-nm Transceiver for Data
Communication over Polymer Optical Fiber (POF)
Cables with SMI Connector
Data Sheet
Description
The Avago Technologies AFBR-59SMI2Z transceiver provides
system designers with the ability to support serial
communication with baud rates of up to 250 MBd over 2.2-mm
jacketed standard polymer optical fiber (POF) with 1-mm core
diameter and NA 0.5.
power. In absence of receiver optical input signal, the receiver
is in low power sleep mode and the differential output signal is
pulled to ground. The receiver wakes up, when a valid optical
input signal is detected.
Features
The SMI optical interconnect with its push-pull positive
latching, with safe-release mechanism, provides secure, safe
and easy to mate and de-mate optical connection for
miscellaneous industrial and medical applications.
The AFBR-59SMI2Z is Laser Class 1, lead-free and compliant
with RoHS.
Transmitter
The transmitter consists of a 650-nm LED, which is controlled
by a fully integrated driver IC. The LED driver operates at 3.3V. It
receives Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) electrical
input, and converts it into a modulated current driving the LED.
LED and driver IC are packaged in an optical subassembly.
The optimized lens system of the optical subassembly couples
the emitted optical power very efficiently into 1-mm core POF
cable.

Package
Receiver
The receiver utilizes a fully integrated single chip solution,
which provides excellent immunity to EMI and fast transient
dV/dt rejection. The receiver directly converts light to a digital
LVDS output signal and operates at 3.3-V nominal supply. The
integrated receiver is packaged in an optical subassembly,
which couples optical power efficiently from POF to the
receiving PIN.
The transceiver package contains the two optical
subassemblies, which are mounted in the black housing for
SMI optical connection.
The inserts are packages inside a conductive plastic inner
housing, which provides additional immunity against EMI/
EMC.
The receiver features an analog monitor output of the
incoming optical signal. The monitor output provides an
analog voltage proportional to the average optical input

Analog Monitoring Voltage (RSSI)
Analog Monitoring Voltage (RSSI)
The Receiver Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) is a monitoring
output that delivers an output current proportional to the
average incoming light. The typical variation of the analog
monitoring voltage (across 2K shunt resistor) as a function of
receiver optical input power for industrial temperature range is
shown in Figure 2. The monitoring voltage varies linearly with
the receiver optical input power. The variation over
temperature is negligible for most applications.
For an almost noise-free RSSI-signal, smoothing components
are recommended. A capacitor in parallel to the resistor on the
RSSI output reduces potential high frequency signal parts. The
use of a single 100-nF capacitor for signal smoothing is
sufficient in most common applications, as shown in the
recommended receiver circuitry in Figure 3.
To provide a suitable monitoring voltage across the shunt
resistor, RRSSI, its value should be chosen to the particular
optical power situation of the specific application. The lower
the optical receiver power, the higher the resistor value should
be. Do not, however, override the max limit of VRSSI.
Figure 2 Typical RSSI Output Voltage across RRSSI = 2 kΩ vs.

Board Layout - Decoupling Circuit and
Ground Planes
To achieve optimum performance from the AFBR-59SMI2Z
transceiver module, it is important to take note of the following
recommendations:
A power supply decoupling circuit should be used to filter
out noise and ensure optical product performance.
A contiguous signal ground plane should be provided
directly beneath the transceiver module for low
inductance ground to signal return current.
The shield posts should be connected to chassis ground or
signal ground to provide optimum EMI and ESD
performance.
These recommendations are in keeping with good high
frequency board layout practices. However, the optimum
grounding strategy depends on the overall system
architecture.
Figure 3 shows the minimum external circuitry between
AFBR-59SMI2Z transceiver module and PHY chip. AC-coupling
is possible if the common mode voltage and voltage swing at
the data lines are within the recommended values. Use the
product information of the actual PHY Chip for connecting to
the AFBR-59SMI2Z transceiver module.
