Data Sheet
Description
The HFCT-5942xxx are high
performance, cost effective
modules for serial optical data
communications applications at
2488 Mb/s. They are designed
to provide SONET/SDH
compliant links at 2488 Mb/s
for both short and
intermediate reach links.
The modules are designed for
single mode fiber and operate
at a nominal wavelength of
1300 nm. They incorporate
high performance, reliable, long
wavelength optical devices and
proven circuit technology to
give long life and consistent
service.
The transmitter section of the
HFCT-5942L/AL/G/AG
incorporates a 1300 nm Fabry
Perot (FP) laser. The
transmitter in the HFCT5942TL/ATL/TG/ATG uses a
Distributed Feedback (DFB)
Laser packaged in conjunction
with an optical isolator for
excellent back reflection
performance. The transmitter
has full IEC 825 and CDRH
Class 1 eye safety.
For each device the receiver
section uses an MOVPE grown
planar SEDET PIN
photodetector for low dark
current and excellent
responsivity.
A positive ECL logic interface
simplifies interface to external
circuitry.
The transceivers are supplied
in the new industry standard
2 x 10 DIP style package with

Functional Description
Receiver Section
Design
The receiver section for the
HFCT-5942xxx contains an
InGaAs/InP photo detector and
a preamplifier mounted in an
optical subassembly. This
optical subassembly is coupled
to a postamp/decision circuit
on a circuit board. The design
of the optical assembly is such
that it provides better than 27
dB Optical Return Loss (ORL).
The postamplifier is ac coupled
to the preamplifier as
illustrated in Figure 1. The
coupling capacitors are large
enough to pass the SONET/
SDH test pattern at 2488 Mb/s
without significant distortion
or performance penalty. If a
lower signal rate, or a code
which has significantly more
low frequency content is used,
sensitivity, jitter and pulse
distortion could be degraded.
Figure 1 also shows a filter
function 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.
These components will reduce
the sensitivity of the receiver
as the signal bit rate is
increased above 2488 Mb/s.
As an optional feature the
device also incorporates a
photodetector bias circuit. The
circuit works by providing a
mirrored output of the bias
current within the photodiode.
This output must be connected
to VCC and can be monitored
by connecting through a series
resistor (see Application
Section).
Noise Immunity
The receiver includes internal
circuit components to filter
power supply noise. However
under some conditions of EMI
and power supply noise,
external power supply filtering
may be necessary (see
Application Section).
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. The SD output is
low voltage TTL.

Transmitter Section
Design
A schematic diagram for the
transmitter is shown in Figure
2. The HFCT-5942L/AL/G/AG
incorporates an FP laser and
the HFCT-5942TL/TG/ATL/ATG
uses a DFB packaged in
conjunction with an optical
isolator. Both packages have
been designed to be compliant
with IEC 825 eye safety
requirements under any single
fault condition and CDRH
under normal operating
conditions. The optical output
is controlled by a custom IC
that 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 operating life.
The transmitters also include
monitor circuitry for both the
laser diode bias current and
laser diode optical power.

Package
The overall package concept
for the device consists of the
following basic elements; two
optical subassemblies, two
electrical subassemblies and
the housing as illustrated in
the block diagram in Figure 3.
The package outline drawing
and pin out are shown in
Figures 4 and 5. The details of
this package outline and pin
out are compliant with the
multisource definition of the 2
x 10 DIP.
A metallic nose clip provides
connection to chassis ground
for both EMI and thermal
dissipation.
The electrical subassemblies
consist of high volume
multilayer printed circuit
boards on which the IC and
various surface-mounted
passive circuit elements are
attached.
The receiver electrical
subassembly includes an
internal shield for the
electrical and optical
subassembly to ensure high
immunity to external EMI
fields.
The optical subassemblies are
each attached to their
respective transmit or receive
electrical subassemblies. These
two units are then fitted
within the outer housing of the
transceiver that is molded of
filled nonconductive plastic to
provide mechanical strength.
The housing is then encased
with a metal EMI protective
shield. The case is signal
ground and we recommend
soldering the four ground tabs
to host card signal ground.
The pcb’s for the two electrical
subassemblies both carry the
signal pins that exit from the
bottom of the transceiver. The
solder posts are fastened into
the molding of the device and
are designed to provide the
mechanical strength required
to withstand the loads
imposed on the transceiver by
mating with the LC
connectored fiber cables.
Although they are not
connected electrically to the
transceiver, it is recommended
to connect them to chassis
ground.

Application Information
The Applications Engineering
Group at Agilent is available
to assist you with technical
understanding and design

Data Line Interconnections
Agilent’s HFCT-5942xxx fiberoptic transceivers are designed
to couple to +3.3 V PECL
signals. The transmitter driver
circuit regulates the output
optical power. The regulated
light output will maintain a
constant output optical power
provided the data pattern is
balanced in duty cycle. If the
data duty cycle has long,
continuous state times (low or
high data duty cycle), then the
output optical power will
gradually change its average

LVTTL
The HFCT-5942xxx has a
transmit disable function which
is a single-ended +3.3 V TTL
input which is dc-coupled to
pin 13. In addition the devices
offer the designer the option
of monitoring the laser diode
bias current and the laser
diode optical power. The
voltage measured between pins
17 and 18 is proportional to
the bias current through an
internal 10 Ω resistor.
Similarly the optical power
rear facet monitor circuit
provides a photo current
which is proportional to the
voltage measured between pins
19 and 20, this voltage is
measured across an internal
200 Ω resistor.

The receiver section is
internally ac-coupled between
the preamplifier and the postamplifier stages. The Data and
Data-bar outputs of the postamplifier are internally biased
and ac-coupled to their
respective output pins (pins 9,
10).
Signal Detect is a singleended, +3.3 V TTL compatible
output signal that is dccoupled to pin 8 of the
module. Signal Detect should
not be ac-coupled externally to
the follow-on circuits because
of its infrequent state changes.

connected to VCC. Agilent also
recommends that a decoupling
capacitor is used on this pin.
Caution should be taken to
account for the proper
intercon-nection between the

Power Supply Filtering and Ground
Planes
It is important to exercise care
in circuit board layout to
achieve optimum performance
from these transceivers. Figure
6 shows the power supply
circuit which complies with the
small form factor multisource
agreement. It is further
recommended that a
continuous ground plane be
provided in the circuit board
directly under the transceiver
to provide a low inductance
ground for signal return
current. This recommendation
is in keeping with good high
frequency board layout
practices.
Package footprint and front panel
considerations
The Agilent transceivers
comply with the circuit board
“Common Transceiver
Footprint” hole pattern defined
in the current multisource
agreement which defined the 2
x 10 package style. This
drawing is reproduced in
Figure 7 with the addition of
ANSI Y14.5M compliant
dimensioning to be used as a
guide in the mechanical layout
of your circuit board. Figure 8
shows the front panel
dimensions associated with
such a layout.
Eye Safety Circuit
For an optical transmitter
device to be eye-safe in the
event of a single fault failure,
the transmit-ter must either
maintain eye-safe operation or
be disabled.
The HFCT-5942xxx is
intrinsically eye safe and does
not require shut down
circuitry.

Signal Detect
The Signal Detect circuit
provides a deasserted output
signal when the optical link is
broken (or when the remote
transmitter is OFF). The Signal
Detect threshold is set to
transition from a high to low
state between the minimum
receiver input optical power
and
-35 dBm avg. input optical
power indicating a definite
optical fault (e.g. unplugged
connector for the receiver or
transmitter, broken fiber, or
failed far-end transmitter or
data source). The Signal Detect
does not detect receiver data
error or error-rate. Data errors
can be determined by signal
processing offered by upstream
PHY ICs.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
One of a circuit board
designer’s foremost concerns is
the control of electromagnetic
emissions from electronic
equipment. Success in
controlling generated
Electromagnetic Interference
(EMI) enables the designer to
pass a governmental agency’s
EMI regulatory standard and
more importantly, it reduces
the possibility of interference
to neighboring equipment.
Agilent has designed the
HFCT-5942xxx to provide good
EMI performance. The EMI
performance of a chassis is
dependent on physical design
and features which help
improve EMI suppression.
Agilent encourages using
standard RF suppression
practices and avoiding poorly
EMI-sealed enclosures.
Agilent’s OC-48 LC
transceivers (HFCT-5942xxx)
have nose shields which
provide a convenient chassis
connection to the nose of the
transceiver. This nose shield
improves system EMI
performance by effectively
closing off the LC aperture.
Localized shielding is also
improved by tying the four
metal housing package
grounding tabs to signal
ground on the PCB. Though
not obvious by inspection, the
nose shield and metal housing
are electrically separated for
customers who do not wish to
directly tie chassis and signal
grounds together. The
recommended transceiver
position, PCB layout and panel
opening for both devices are
the same, making them
mechanically drop-in
compatible. Figure 8 shows
the recommended positioning
of the transceivers with
respect to the PCB and
faceplate.
Package and Handling Instructions
Flammability
The HFCT-5942xxx transceiver
housing consists of high
strength, heat resistant and UL
94 V-0 flame retardant plastic
and metal packaging.
Recommended Solder and Wash
Process
The HFCT-5942xxx are
compatible with industrystandard wave solder
processes.
Process plug
This transceiver is supplied
with a process plug for
protection of the optical port
within the LC connector
receptacle. This process plug
prevents contamination during
wave solder and aqueous rinse
as well as during handling,
shipping and storage. It is
made of a high-temperature,
molded sealing material that
can withstand +85°C and a
rinse pressure of 110 lbs per
square inch.
Recommended Solder fluxes
Solder fluxes used with the
HFCT-5942xxx should be
water-soluble, organic fluxes.
Recommended solder fluxes
include Lonco 3355-11 from
London Chemical West, Inc. of
Burbank, CA, and 100 Flux
from Alpha-Metals of Jersey
City, NJ.
Recommended Cleaning/Degreasing
Chemicals
Alcohols: methyl, isopropyl,
isobutyl.
Aliphatics: hexane, heptane
Other: naphtha.
Do not use partially
halogenated hydrocarbons such
as 1,1.1 trichloroethane,
ketones such as MEK, acetone,
chloroform, ethyl acetate,
methylene dichloride, phenol,
methylene chloride, or
N-methylpyrolldone. Also,
Agilent does not recommend
the use of cleaners that use
halogenated hydrocarbons
because of their potential
environmental harm.
LC SFF Cleaning Recommendations
In the event of contamination
of the optical ports, the
recommended cleaning process
is the use of forced nitrogen.
If contamination is thought to
have remained, the optical
ports can be cleaned using a
NTT international Cletop stick
type (diam. 1.25mm) and
HFE7100 cleaning fluid.

Regulatory Compliance
The Regulatory Compliance for
transceiver performance is
shown in Table 1. The overall
equipment design will
determine the certification
level. The transceiver
performance is offered as a
figure of merit to assist the
designer in considering their
use in equipment designs.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
Most equipment designs
utilizing these high-speed
transceivers from Agilent will
be required to meet FCC
regulations in the United
States, CENELEC EN55022
(CISPR 22) in Europe and
VCCI in Japan. Refer to EMI
section (page 9) for more
details.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
The device has been tested to
comply with MIL-STD-883E
(Method 3015). It is important

failure may result.
Connection of the devices to a
non-approved optical source,
operating above the
recommended absolute
maximum conditions or
operating the HFCT-5942xxx in
a manner inconsistent with its
design and function may result
in hazardous radiation
exposure and may be
considered an act of modifying
or manufacturing a laser
product. The person(s)
performing such an act is
required by law to recertify
and reidentify the laser
product under the provisions
of U.S. 21 CFR (Subchapter J).

Absolute Maximum Ratings (HFCT-5942xxx)
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.

Notes:
1. The output power is coupled into a 1 m single-mode fiber. Minimum output optical level is at end of life.
2. The relationship between FWHM and RMS values for spectral width can be derived from the assumption of a Gaussian shaped spectrum which
results in RMS = FWHM/2.35.
3. These are unfiltered 20 - 80% values.
4. This meets the “desired” requirement in SONET specification (GR253). The figure given is the allowable mismatch for 1 dB degradation in receiver
sensitivity.
5. For the jitter measurements, the device was driven with SONET OC-48C data pattern filled with a 223-1 PRBS payload.
6. PIN represents the typical optical input sensitivity of the receiver. Minimum sensitivity (PINMIN) and saturation (PINMAX) levels for a 223-1 PRBS with
72 ones and 72 zeros inserted. Over the range the receiver is guaranteed to provide output data with a Bit Error Rate better than or equal to
1 x 10-10.
7. Beginning of life sensitivity at +25°C is -22 dBm (worst case).
