It has a receive signal LOS indicator. To improve the hysteresis on the receive signal LOS, install R47 (0) and R43. The combination of R43 and R41 will determine the sensitivity of the transceiver and hysteresis on the receive signal LOS. Refer to the application note entitled “Notes on Sensitivity and hysteresis in Micrel’s Post Amplifiers” available at: http://www.micrel.com/product-info/app_hints+notes.shtml. SY88843 Limiting Amplifier The SY88843 can also be installed on the board. It has a signal detect SD indicator. To improve the hysteresis on the receive signal LOS, remove R47 (0) and install R43, Q2, and R43. The combination of R43 and R41 will determine the sensitivity of the transceiver and hysteresis on the SD.

In OEM Configuration Register 0 window, set ENABLE/DISABLE to DISABLE, VMOD REFERENCE to VDD, and temperature zone to INTERNAL. Set-Up and Operation Follow the step-by-step procedures, described below, to set-up the board safely and properly: 1. Connect the on board DB-25 connector to the parallel port of a computer. 13. In OEM Configuration Register 1 window: a. Set APC OP-AMP TYPE to COMMON EMITTER. Note: Set the selection bit to 0, 0 should correspond to EMITTER FOLLOWER, which should be displayed on the bottom and COMMON EMITTER on the top. 2. Connect the differential input of the laser driver to DATA output of the pattern generator. 3. Use a multimode fiber jumper with appropriate connectors to connect optical output of the VCSEL to a VOA (variable optical attenuator) preset to 0dB attenuation. b. Select the voltage to report in VINH:VINL. c. Set Feedback voltage source to 1.22V. d. If a common cathode VCSEL is used, set FEEDBACK BIAS REF and R E S TERMINATION to V D D and V B I A S DRIVE to SINK (PNP). e. If a common anode VCSEL is used, set FEEDBACK BIAS REF and R E S TERMINATION to GND and V B I A S DRIVE to SOURCE (NPN). f. S e t INTERNAL FEEDBACK RESISTOR to an arbitrary value (1.6K for example). 14. In OEM Configuration Register 2, the MIC3001 address and look-up table offset can be modified. The look-up table covers 128°C. The temperature range for offset = 0 is 0° to +127°C.This range can be shifted down by 2x offset. The offset is set to. If offset = 15, the temperature range becomes –30° to +97°. 4. Connect the output of the VOA to the optical input of the DCA, power-meter, or optical to electrical converter. 5. Pre-adjust the power supply to 3.3V, turn it off, and connect TP3 to VCC (3.3V) and TP5 to GND. Then turn the power supply ON. The total current drawn from the power supply should be less than 300mA. 6. Launch the MIC3000/1 software. The MIC3001 Optical Transceiver Management IC panel opens with Panels and Help grayed out and only Utilities can be run. 7. Refer to MIC3000/1 Software User’s Guide for the detailed settings. 8. On the main window select Utilities to open the utilities panel, then select SCAN to read the address of the MIC3001 and GET to read the manufacturer ID, Device ID, and Die Revision. If there is a failure in reading one of these parameters, you cannot proceed further. If all the parameters are read correctly, close the Utilities window to return to the main window where the Panels and Help are no longer grayed out. 15. In OEM Configuration Register 0 window, set ENABLE/DISABLE to ENABLE. 16. On Panels list select OEM CONFIG 3-4 and select EXTERNAL CALIBRATION (default setting), LOS COMPARATOR ENABLE, SHDN, RXLUT INPUT TEMPERATURE, and RSOUT. If needed, later set ISTART to a different value to speed up the APC loop startup during laser turn ON after a FAULT occurrence. Close the window to return to main window. 9. Select Panels to display the list of setting panels. 10. All the bits displayed on the panels can be read and/or modified on the panels or by accessing the registers directly by selecting ALL REGISTERS, enter the serial address, the register address, select GET to read the content or type a value and select SET NEW to write. In this procedure the bits are set on the panels. 17. On Panels list, select External Calibration. Set all the offsets to 0 and slopes to 1. Set RX_PWR(1) to 1. These parameters might need to be changed later to correct the measured values (calibration). Return to the main window. 11. Select OEM CONFIG 0-2 to open the OEM configuration registers 0, 1, and 2 windows. September 2004 3 M9999-092304 [email protected] or (408) 955-1690 Micrel TXRX_307_R0 Evaluation Board 23. At this step, there is no received power since no signal is applied at the input of the receiver. 18. On Panels list, select Temperature Compensation. Load look-up tables for APC, Modulation, Bias current Fault, and End-ofLife from appropriate files. If no loading is done, the default value 0 is used for all the LUT. Return to the main window. 24. Adjust the VOA to bring the optical power to the desired level at the input of the receiver. Then connect the output of the VOA to the input of the receiver using appropriate fiber jumper. 19. On Panels list, select OEM settings. Enter the desired DAC values between 0 and 255 for the displayed parameters then select SET NEW. Select GET CURRENT to make sure that the set values are written into the registers. Checking them can mask the faults. Return to the main window. 25. If the installed receiver has RSSI signal, a value (needs calibration) of the received power should be displayed now. 26. On Panels list, select TX Setup to calibrate the TX power. Measure the optical power at the output of the VCSEL and enter the value (in mW) in the MEASURED TX POWER box, then select CALIBRATE. The monitored value is adjusted to display the measured value by automatically changing the slope set in the EXTERNAL CALIBRATION window. Reconnect the VOA to the VCSEL and return to the main window. 20. On Panels list, select User. Check APC0 in the USER CONTROL REGISTER (default setting). All the other parameters can be checked later to verify their functionality. Return to the main window. 21. On Panels list, select Result. The values of the five monitored parameters as per SFF8472 are now displayed. Type the alarm and warning thresholds and select SET NEW LIMITS. Select GET CURRENT LIMITS to check that the set values are written into the registers. Return to main window. 27. On Panels select RX Calibration. Measure the input power to receiver at the output of the VOA and enter the measured value (in mW) in the MEASURED RX POWER box then select CALIBRATE. The monitored value is adjusted to display the measured value by automatically changing the slope set in the EXTERNAL CALIBRATION window. Reconnect the VOA to the receiver and return to the main window. 22. Set modulation current and bias current to get the desired output power and extinction ratio at the output of the VCSEL. Use OEM Settings panel or TX Setup panel to accomplish the following: 28. At this stage, the masked faults should be unmasked and if there is a fault indication try to find the cause of it and fix it to get the transceiver running fault free and try to measure the performance of the laser driver and post amplifier. a. In OEM settings window, set the bias by entering a value from 10 to 100 in APC SET POINT 0 box and modulation by entering a value from 10 to 100 in MOD DAC setting box followed by SET new. b. In TX calibration window, set the bias by entering a value from 10 to 100 in APCO (DEC) box and modulation by entering a value from 10 to 100 in MOD DAC setting box followed by SET new. After setting the new value for bias or modulation current, toggle TXDISABLE/TXENABLE on the main window.

This value might be tuned to a higher value to minimize or suppress any overshoot or undershoot on the optical signal out of the laser, but keep in mind that higher value damping resistors will lead to higher rise/fall time. Figure 2 shows an optical eye diagram obtained with Honeywell HFE4190-541 VCSEL (common anode) driven differentially: 2xFC (2.125Gbps), PRBS 223–1, ER = 10 Mask Set to 30% Laser's Package Inductance Compensation A compensation network comprised of C10/R35 or C10/R14 can be used to compensate for the laser package inductance. R35 and R14 share the same pad on the board, so only one at a time can be installed. The values shown on the schematic are used for the symbol only. C10 should be a few pF and R35/R14 around 50.
