Transmitter
The optical transmitter portion of the AOC (see Figure 1)
incorporates 4 VCSELs (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting
Laser), input buffer and laser drivers and control & bias
blocks. The transmitter is designed for EN 60825 and
CDRH eye safety compliance; Class 1M out of the module.
The Tx Input Buffer provides CML compatible differential
inputs presenting a nominal differential input impedance
of 100 ohms. AC coupling capacitors are located inside
the QSFP+ AOC and are not required on the host board.
For AOC interrogation, the control interface (LVTTL compatible) incorporates a Two Wire Serial (TWS) interface of
clock and data signals. Tx_Disable is available through the
TWS interface.

Flags are set and interrupts generated for Rx loss of optical
input signal (LOS). Flags are latched and will remain set
even if the condition initiating the flag clears and operation resumes. Interrupts can be masked and flags are reset
upon reading the appropriate flag register. The electrical
output will squelch for loss of input signal (unless squelch
is disabled). To reduce the need for polling, the hardware
interrupt signal is provided to inform hosts of an assertion
of Rx LOS.

The optical receiver portion of the Active Cable-end (see
Figure 1) incorporates 4 PIN photodiodes, TIAs, channel
output buffer and control & bias blocks. The Rx Output
Buffer provides CML compatible differential outputs for
the high speed electrical interface presenting nominal single-ended output impedances of 50 ohms to AC ground
and 100 ohms differentially that should be differentially
terminated with 100 ohms. AC coupling capacitors are
located inside the QSFP+ and are not required on the host
board. For AOC interrogation and control, the control interface (LVTTL compatible) incorporates a Two Wire Serial
(TWS) interface of clock and data signals. Rx_LOS and Rx
Squelch are available through the TWS interface.

Regulatory & Compliance Issues
The module has the following low speed signals for control
and status: ModSelL, LPMode, ResetL, ModPrsL, IntL. In
addition, there is an industry standard two wire serial
interface scaled for 3.3 volt LVTTL. It is implemented as a
slave device. Signals and timing characteristics are further
defined in the Control Interface section. The registers
of the serial interface memory are defined in the Memory
Map section and corresponding Avago Technologies
QSFP+ Memory Map document
Various standards and regulations apply to the cables.
These include eye-safety, EMC, ESD and RoHS. See the
Regulatory Section for details, including component
recognition. Please note the transmitter is a Class 1M laser
product – In the event of fiber breakage, DO NOT VIEW
RADIATION DIRECTLY WITH OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS. See
Regulatory Compliance Table for details.
High Speed Signal Interface
The module is designed to meet the package outline
defined in the SFF-8436 Specification for QSFP+ Optical
Modules. See the package outline and host board footprint figures (Figures 10 – 13) for details.
Figure 2 shows the interface between an ASIC/SerDes
and the QSFP+ AOC. For simplicity, only one channel is
shown. The high speed signal lines are AC-coupled 100
ohm differential lines. The AC coupling is inside the QSFP+
AOC and not required on the host board. The 100 ohm
differential terminations are inside the QSFP+ AOC for
the transmitter lines and at the host ASIC/SerDes for
the receiver lines. All transmitter and receiver electrical
channels are compliant to module XLPPI specifications
per IEEE 802.3ba.

Package Outline
Handling and Cleaning
The Active Cable-end can be damaged by exposure to
current surges and over voltage events. Care should be
taken to restrict exposure to the conditions defined in
the Absolute Maximum Ratings. Wave soldering, reflow
soldering and/or aqueous wash process with the modules
on board are not recommended. Normal handling
precautions for electrostatic discharge sensitive devices
should be observed.
Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stress in excess of any of the individual Absolute Maximum Ratings can cause immediate catastrophic damage to the
AOC even if all other parameters are within Recommended Operation Conditions. It should not be assumed that limiting
values of more than one parameter can be applied to the AOC concurrently. Exposure to any of the Absolute Maximum
Ratings for extended periods can adversely affect reliability.

Control Interface & Memory Map
ModPrsL
The control interface combines dedicated signal lines for
ModSelL, LPMode, ResetL, ModPrsL, IntL with two-wire
serial (TWS), interface clock (SCL) and data (SDA), signals
to provide users functionality over an efficient and easily
used interface. The TWS interface is implemented as a
slave device and compatible with industry standard twowire serial protocol. It is scaled for 3.3 V LVTTL. Outputs are
high-Z in the high state to support busing of these signals.
Signal and timing characteristics are further defined in the
Control I/O Characteristics section. For more details, see
QSFP+ SFF-8436.
ModPrsL is pulled up to Vcc_Host on the host board and
grounded in the Active Cable-end. The ModPrsL is asserted
“Low” when module is inserted into the host connector,
and deasserted “High” when the Active Cable-end is physically absent from the host connector.
ModSelL
The ModSelL is an input signal. When held low by the
host, the module responds to 2-wire serial communication commands. The ModSelL allows the use of multiple
QSFP+ devices on a single 2-wire interface bus. When
the ModSelL is “High”, the module will not respond to or
acknowledge any 2-wire interface communication from
the host. ModSelL signal input node is biased to the “High”
state in the module. In order to avoid conflicts, the host
system shall not attempt 2-wire interface communications within the ModSelL de-assert time after any QSFP+
device is deselected. Similarly, the host must wait at least
for the period of the ModSelL assert time before communicating with the newly selected device. The assertion and
de-assertion periods of different devices may overlap as
long as the above timing requirements are met.
ResetL
The ResetL signal is pulled to Vcc in the QSFP+ Active
Optical Cable. A low level on the ResetL signal for longer
than the minimum pulse length (t_Reset_init) initiates
a complete Active Cable-end reset, returning all user
module settings to their default state. Module Reset
Assert Time (t_init) starts on the rising edge after the low
level on the ResetL pin is released. During the execution of
a reset (t_init) the host shall disregard all status bits until
the Active cable-end indicates a completion of the reset
interrupt. The Active Cable-end indicates this by posting
an IntL signal with the Data_Not_Ready bit negated. Note
that on power up (including hot insertion) the Active
Cable-end will post this completion of reset interrupt
without requiring a reset.
LPMode
Low power mode. When held high by host, the module
is held at low power mode. When held low by host, the
module operates in the normal mode. For class 1 power
level modules (1.5 W), low power mode has no effect.
13
IntL
IntL is an output signal. When “Low”, it indicates a possible
operational status critical to the host system. The host
identifies the source of the interrupt using the 2-wire serial
interface. The IntL signal is an open collector output and
must be pulled to host supply voltage on the host board.
A corresponding soft status IntL signal is also available in
the device memory page 0 address 2 bit 1.
Soft Status and Control
A number of soft status signals and controls are available
in each end of the AFBR-7QERxxZ Active Optical Cable
and are accessible through the TWS interface. Soft status
signal are receiver LOS, Soft controls include transmitter
disable (Tx_Dis), receiver squelch disable (Rx_SqDis), and
masking of status signal in triggering IntL. All soft status
signals and controls are on a per channel basis. All soft
control entries are volatile.
Receiver LOS
The receiver LOS status signal is on page 0 address 3 bits
0-3 for channels 1-4 respectively. Receiver LOS is based
on loss of optical input, due to transmitter disable or fiber
break. This status register is latched and it is cleared on
read.
Transmitter Disable
The transmitter disable control is on page 0 address 86
bits 0-3 for channels 1-4 respectively.
Receiver Squelch Disable
The receiver squelch disable control is on page 3 address
240 bits 4-7 for channels 1-4 respectively. AFBR-7QERxxZ
Active Optical Cable have receiver output squelch function enabled as default.
I/O Timing for Control and Status Functions
The following characteristics are defined over the Recommended Operating Conditions unless otherwise noted. Typical
values are for Tc = 40° C, Vcc = 3.3 V

Memory Map
The memory is structured as a single address, multiple page approach. The address is given as A0xh. The structure of the
memory is shown in Figure 15. The memory space is arranged into a lower, single page, address space of 128 bytes and
multiple upper address space pages of 128 bytes each. This structure permits timely access to addresses in the lower
page, e.g., Interrupt Flags and Monitors. Less time critical entries, e.g. serial ID information and threshold settings are
available with the Page Select function. For a more detailed description of the QSFP+ memory map see the QSFP+ SFF8436 Specification or the Avago Technologies QSFP+ AOC Memory Map document.
