Data Sheet
Features
Description
The AFCT-5179xZ transceiver
is a high performance, cost
effective module for serial
optical data communications
applications specified for a
signal rate of 125 MBd. It is
designed for Fast Ethernet
applications and is also
compatible with EFM baseline
100BASE-LX10 standard over
dual single mode fiber.
This module is designed for
single mode fiber and operates
at a nominal wavelength of
1300 nm. It incorporates
Agilent’s high performance,
reliable, long wavelength
optical devices and proven
circuit technology to give long
life and consistent service.
The transmitter section uses a
Multiple Quantum Well laser
with full IEC 825 and CDRH
Class I eye safety.
The receiver section uses a
planar PIN photodetector for
low dark current and excellent
responsivity.
A pseudo-ECL logic interface
simplifies interface to external
circuitry.

Functional Description
Receiver Section
Design
Noise Immunity
The receiver section contains
an InGaAs/InP photo detector
and a preamplifier within the
receptacle, coupled to a
postamplifier/decision circuit
on a separate circuit board.
The receiver includes internal
circuit components to filter
power supply noise. Under
some conditions of EMI and
power supply noise, external
power supply filtering may be
necessary. If receiver
sensitivity is found to be
degraded by power supply
noise, the filter network
illustrated in Figure 2 may be
used to improve performance.
The values of the filter
components are general
recommendations and may be
changed to suit a particular
system environment. Shielded
inductors are recommended.
The postamplifier is ac coupled
to the preamplifier as
illustrated in Figure 1. The
coupling capacitor is large
enough to pass the EFM test
pattern at 125 MBd without
significant distortion or
performance penalty.
Figure 1 also shows a filter
network which limits the
bandwidth of the preamp
output signal. The filter is
designed to bandlimit the
preamp output
noise and thus improve the
receiver sensitivity.
Terminating the Outputs
These components will also
reduce the sensitivity of the
receiver as the signal bit rate
is increased above 155 MBd.
The PECL Data outputs of the
receiver may be terminated
with the standard Theveninequivalent 50 ohm to VCC - 2
V termination.
Other standard PECL
terminating techniques may be
used.
The Signal Detect Circuit
The Signal Detect circuit works
by sensing the peak level of
the received signal and
comparing this level to a
reference.
DATA OUT
FILTER
TRANSIMPEDANCE
PREAMPLIFIER
The two outputs of the
receiver should be terminated
with identical load circuits to
avoid unnecessarily large ac
current in VCC. If the outputs
are loaded identically the ac
current is largely nulled. The
Signal Detect output of the
receiver is PECL logic and
must be loaded if it is to be
used. The Signal Detect
circuit is much slower than
the data path, so the ac noise
generated by an asymmetrical
load is negligible. Power
consumption may be reduced
by using a higher than normal
load impedance for the Signal
Detect output. Transmission
line effects are not generally a
problem as the switching rate
is slow.

Design
The transmitter section, Figure
3, uses a Multiple Quantum
Well laser as its optical source.
The package of this laser is
designed to allow repeatable
coupling into single mode
fiber. In addition, this package
has been designed to be
compliant with IEC 825 Class
1 and CDRH Class I eye safety
requirements. The optical
output is controlled by a
custom IC which detects the
laser output via the monitor
photodiode. This IC provides
both dc and ac current drive
to the laser to ensure correct
modulation, eye diagram and
extinction ratio over
temperature, supply voltage
and life.

PCB mounting
The AFCT-5179xZ has two
solderable mounting studs,
Figures 5 and 6. These studs
are not electrically connected.
The transceiver is designed for
common production processes.
It may be wave soldered and
aqueous washed providing the
process plug is in place.
Each process plug can only be
used once during processing,
although with subsequent use,
it can be used as a dust cover.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause catastrophic damage to the device. Limits apply to each parameter in
isolation, all other parameters having values within the recommended operating conditions. It should not be assumed that limiting values
of more than one parameter can be applied to the product at the same time. Exposure to the absolute maximum ratings for extended
periods can adversely affect device reliability.
