Single Chip 10BASE-FL Transceiver Technical Data HFBR-4663 General Description The HFBR-4663 Single Chip 10BASE-FL Transceiver is a highly integrated circuit for IEEE 802.3 10Base-FL transceivers. This product, when used with HP’s fiber-optic transmitters and receivers (HFBR-14X4 and HFBR-2416), ensures compliance to the 10Base-FL Standard with a minimum number of external components and board space. The HFBR-4663 offers a standard IEEE 802.3 AU interface that allows it to be directly connected to industry standard manchester encoder/decoder chips or an AUI connector. The fiber-optic LED driver offers a current drive output that directly drives the HFBR-14X4 transmitter. The data quantizer section of the HFBR4663 is directly compatible with the output of the HFBR-24X6 fiber-optic receiver and is capable of accepting input signals as low as 2 mVp-p with a 55 dB dynamic range. The transmitter automatically inserts 1 MHz signal during idle time and removes this signal on reception. Low light is continuously monitored for both activity as well as power level. Five LED status indicators monitor error conditions as well as transmissions, receptions, and collisions.

On one side of the transceiver is the AU interface and the other is the fiber optic interface. The AU interface is AC coupled when used in an external transceiver or an internal transceiver. The AU interface for an external transceiver includes isolation transformers, some biasing resistors, and a voltage regulator for power. The fiber optic side of the transceiver requires an external fiber optic transmitter and fiber optic receiver. The transmitter uses a current driven output that directly drives the fiber optic transmitter. The receive side of the transceiver accepts the data after passing through a fiber optic receiver, which consists of a module containing a pin diode and a transimpedance amplifier. AU Interface The AU interface consists of 3 pairs of signals, DO, CI and DI as shown in Figure 1. The DO pair contains transmit data from the DTE which is received by the transceiver and sent out onto the fiber optic cable. The DI pair contains valid data that has been either received from the fiber optic cable or looped back from the DO and output through the DI pair to the DTE. The CI pair indicates whether a collision has occurred. It is an output that oscillates at 10 MHz if a collision, jabber or SQE Test has taken place, otherwise it remains idle. 84 When the transceiver is external, these three pairs are AC coupled through isolation transformers, while an internal transceiver may be capacitively coupled. Tx+, Txis internally DC biased (shifted up in voltage) for the proper common mode input voltage. The two 39 Ω 1% resistors (or one 78 Ω 1% resistor) tied to he Tx+ and Tx- pins will provide the proper termination. The CI and DI pair, which are output from the transceiver to the AUI cable, require 360 Ω pull down resistors when terminated with a 78 Ω load. However on a DTE card, CI and DI do not need 78 Ω terminating resistors. This also means that the pull down resistors on CI and DI can be 1 kΩ or greater depending upon the particular Manchester encoder/ decoder chip used. Using higher value pull down resistors as in a DTE card will save power. The AUI drivers are capable of driving the full 50 meters of cable length and have a rise and fall time of typically 4 ns. In the idle state, the outputs go to the same voltage to prevent DC standing current in the isolation transformers. low light condition. When Tx+ is more negative than Tx-, the HFBR-4663 will sink current into the chip and the fiber optic LED will emit light. Before data will be transmitted onto the fiber optic cable from the AU interface, it must exceed the squelch requirements for the DO pair. The Tx squelch circuit serves the function of preventing any noise from being transmitted onto the fiber. This circuit rejects signals with pulse widths less than typically 20 ns (negative going), or with levels less than -250 mV. Once Tx squelch circuit has unsquelched, it looks for the start of idle signal to turn on the squelch circuit again. The transmitter turns on the squelch again when it receives an input signal at Tx+, Tx- that is more positive than -250 mV for more than approximately 180 ns. At the start of a packet transmission, no more than 2 bits are received from the DO circuit and not transmitted onto the fiber optic cable. The difference between start-up delays (bit loss plus steady-state propagation delay) for any two packets that are separated by 9.6 µs or less will not exceed 200 ns. Transmission The transmit function consists of detecting the presence of data from the AUI DO input (Tx+, Tx-) and driving that data onto the fiber optic LED transmitter. A positive signal on the Tx+ lead relative to the Tx- lead of the DO circuit will result in no current, hence the fiber optic LED is in a Fiber Optic LED Driver The output stage of the transmitter is a current mode switch which controls the output light by sinking current through the LED into the TxOUT pin. Once the current requirement for the LED is determined, the RTSET resistor is selected. The following equation is used to select the VCC correct RTSET resistor: RTSET= ( ) 52 mA –––––– IOUT l62 Ω The transmitter enters the idle state when it detects start of idle on Tx+ and Tx- input pins. After detecting the start of idle, the transmitter switches to a 1 MHz output idle signal. The output current is switched through the TxOUT pin during the on cycle and the VCCTx pin during the off cycle as shown in figure 2. Since the sum of the current in these two pins is constant, VCCTx should be connected as close as possible to the VCC connection for the LED. If not driving an optical LED directly, a differential output can be generated by tying resistors from VCCTx and TxOUT to VCC as shown in Figure 3. The minimum voltage on these two pins should not be less than VCC - 2 V. VCCTx TxOUT 51 Ω 51 Ω RTSET = 560 Ω IOUT = 15.9 mA 51 Ω ECL VCCTx TxOUT Figure 3. Converting Optical LED Driver Output to Differential ECL. Reception Loopback The input to the transceiver comes from a fiber optic receiver as shown in figure 1. At the start of packet reception no more than 2.7 bits are received from the fiber cable and not transmitted onto the DI circuit. The receive squelch will reject frequencies lower than 2.51 MHz. The loopback function emulates a 10BASE-T transceiver whereby the transmit data sent by the DTE is looped back over the AUI receive pair. Some LAN controllers use this loopback information to determine whether a MAU is connected by monitoring the carrier sense while transmitting. The software can use this loopback information to determine whether a MAU is connected to the DTE by checking the status of carrier sense after each packet transmission. While in the unsquelch state, the receive squelch circuit looks for the start of idle signal at the end of the packet. Start of idle occurs when the input signal remains idle for more than 160 ns. When start of idle is detected, the receive squelch circuit returns to the squelch state and the start of idle signal is output on the DI circuit (Rx+, Rx-). Collision IOUT Figure 2. Fiber Optic LED Driver Structure. Whenever the receiver and the transmitter are active at the same time the chip will activate the collision output, except when loopback is disabled (LBDIS = Vcc). The collision output is a differential square wave matching the AUI specifications and capable of driving a 78 Ω load. The frequency of the square wave is 10 MHz ± 15% with a 60/40 to 40/60 duty cycle. The collision oscillator also is activated during SQE Test and jabber. When data is received by the chip while transmitting, a collision condition exits. This will cause the collision oscillator to turn on and the data on the DI pair will follow VIN+, VIN-. After a collision is detected, the collision oscillator will remain on until either DO or VIN+, VIN- go idle. Loopback can be disabled by strapping LBDIS to VCC. In this mode the chip operates as a full duplex transmitter and receiver, and collision detection is disabled. A loopback through the transceiver can be accomplished by tying the fiber transmitter to the receiver. 85 SQE Test Function Signal Quality Error The SQE test function allows the DTE to determine whether the collision detect circuitry is functional. After each transmission, during the inter packet gap time, the collision oscillator will be activated for typically 1 µs. The SQE test will not be activated if the chip is in the low light state, or the jabber on state. For SQE to operate, the SQEN pin must be tied to VCC. This allows the MAU to be interfaced to a DTE. The SQE test can be disabled by tying the SQEN pin to ground, for a repeater interface. Jabber Function Requirements The Jabber function prevents a babbling transmitter from bringing down the network. Within the transceiver is a Jabber timer that starts at the beginning of each transmission and resets at the end of each transmission. If the transmission lasts longer than 20 ms the jabber logic disables the transmitter, and turns on the collision signal COL+, COL-. When Tx+ and Tx- finally go idle, a second timer measures 0.5 seconds of idle time before the transmitter is enabled and collision is turned off. Even though the transmitter is disabled during jabber, the 1 MHz idle signal is still transmitted. respective pins through a 500 Ω resistor to 5 volts. The XMT, RCV and CLSN pins have pulse stretchers on them which enable the LEDs to be visible. When transmission or reception occurs, the LED XMT, RCV or CLSN status pins will activate low for several milliseconds. If another transmit, receive or collision condition occurs before the timer expires, the LED timer will reset and restart the timing. Therefore rapid events will leave the LEDs continuously on. The JAB and LMON LEDs do not have pulse stretchers on them since their conditions occur long enough for the eye to see. Low Light Condition The LMON LED output is used to indicate a low light condition. LMON is activated low when both the receive power exceeds the Link Monitor threshold and there are transitions on VIN+, VIN- less than 3 µs apart. If either one of these conditions do not exist, LMON will go high. Input Amplifier The VIN+, VIN- input signal is fed into a limiting amplifier with a gain of about 100 and input resistance of 1.3 kΩ. Maximum sensitivity is achieved through the use of a DC restoration feedback loop and AC coupling the input. When AC coupled, the input DC bias voltage is set by an on-chip network at about 1.7 V. These coupling capacitors, in conjunction with the input impedance of the amplifier, establish a high pass filter with 3 dB corner frequency, fL, at 1 fL = –––––––– 2π1300C Since the amplifier has a differential input, two capacitors of equal value are required. If the signal driving the input is single ended, one of the coupling capacitors can be tied to AVCC as shown in Figure 1. The internal amplifier has a lowpass filter built-in to band limit the input signal which in turn will improve the signal noise ratio. Although the input is AC coupled, the offset voltage within the amplifier will be present at the amplifier’s output. This is represented by VOS in Figure 4. In order to reduce this error a DC feedback loop is incorporated. This negative feedback loop nulls the offset voltage, forcing VOS to be zero. Although the capacitor on VDC is non-critical, the pole it creates can affect the stability of the feedback loop. To avoid stability problems, the value of this capacitor should be at least 10 times larger than the input coupling capacitors. LED Drivers The HFBR-4663 has five LED drivers. The LED driver pins are active low, and the LEDs are normally off (except for LMON). The LEDs are tied to their VOUT+ VOS VOUT- Figure 4. 86 The comparator is a high-speed differential zero crossing detector that slices and accurately digitizes the receive signal. The output of the comparator is fed in parallel into both the receive squelch circuit and the loopback MUX. Link Detect Circuitry and Low Light The link detect circuit monitors the input signal and determines when the input falls below a preset voltage level. When the input falls below a preset voltage, the HFBR-4663 goes into the Low Light state. In the Low Light state the transmitter is disabled, but continues sending the I MHz idle signal, the loopback is disabled, the receiver is disabled and the LMON LED pin goes to high shutting off the LMON LED. To return to the Link Pass state, the optical receiver power must be 20% higher than the shut-off state. This built-in hysteresis adds stability to the Link Monitor circuit. Once the receiver power threshold is exceeded, the HFBR4663 waits 250 ms to 750 ms, then checks to see that Tx+, Txis idle and no data is being received before re-enabling the transmitter, receiver, loopback circuit, and lighting up the LMON LED. The VTHADJ pin is used to adjust the sensitivity of the receiver. The HFBR-4663 is capable of exceeding the 10BASE-FL specifications for sensitivity. The sensitivity is dependent on the layout of the PC board. A good low noise layout will exceed the 10BASE-FL specifications, while a poor layout will fail to meet the sensitivity and BER spec. The threshold generator shifts the reference voltage at VTHADJ through a circuit which has a temperature coefficient matching that of the limiting amplifier. The relationship between the VTHADJ and the VTH (the peak to peak input threshold) is: VTHADJ = 408 VTH state the link can be switched on if the input exceeds the set threshold for a time given by: CTIMER x 0.7 V T= –––––––––––– 700 µA (2) In a 10BASE-FL receiver, there must be less than 1 x 10-9 bit errors at a receive power level of 32.5 dBm average. One procedure to determine the sensitivity of a receiver is to start at the lowest optical power level and gradually increase the optical power until the BER is met. In this case the Link Detect circuit must not disable the receiver (i.e. VTHADJ should be tied to Ground). Once the sensitivity of the receiver is determined, VTHADJ can be set just above the power level that meets the BER specification. This way the receiver will shut-off before the BER is exceeded. For 10-BASE-FL, VTHADJ can be tied directly to VREF. However if greater sensitivity is required the circuit in Figure 5 can be used to adjust the VTHADJ voltage. Even if VREF is tied to VTHADJ, it is a good idea to layout a board with these two resistors available. This will allow potential future adjustments without board revisions. The response time of the Link Detect circuit is set by the CTIMER pin. Starting from the link off VREF REF R1 VTHADJ THRESH GEN R2 Figure 5. To switch the link from on to off, the above time will be doubled. A value of 0.05 µF will meet the 10BASE-FL specifications. Differences between 10BASE-FL and FOIRL 10BASE-FL is an improved version of the original FOIRL standard. The 10BASE-FL standard allows backward compatibility of a 10BASE-FL transceiver with a FOIRL transceiver. The main improvements incorporated into 10BASEFL are that it can attach to a DTE by adding the SQE test, and the distance has been increased from 1 km to 2 km. The other differences are much more subtle. 87 1. SQE Test: The FOIRL standard did not include the option of attaching a fiber transceiver to a DTE. Adding the SQE test to 10BASE-FL enables a 10BASE-FL transceiver to attach to a DTE. 2. 0 to at Least 2 Km Distance: The FOIRL standard specifies a 1 km distance while 10BASE-FL specifies 2 km. The additional 1 km distance for 10BASE-FL comes from an increased flux budget for the cable of 3.5 dB. This 3.5 dB increase came from an increase of 2.5 dB sensitivity for the receiver and a 1 dB improvement for the transmitter. The following table illustrates the transmit and receive power requirements for the two standards. Note: FOIRL specifies optical power in peak and 10BASE-FL specifies it in average. Subtracting 3 dB from peak will give the average. In the table below the FOIRL specifications were converted from peak to average power. 3. MAU State Diagrams are Different: The state diagrams for 10BASE-FL are similar to 10BASE-T, while the state Transmit/Receive Average Power diagrams for FOIRL are slightly different. The differences are in the AUI loopback, and in the link integrity function. AUI Loopback - In 10BASE-FL the DO to DI loopback is always disabled during a collision, and optical receive data is passed through to DI. For FOIRL there are some cases where loopback continues (i.e. DO looped to DI) during a collision, and others where loopback is disabled during a collision. 10BASE-FL is identical to 10BASE-T in this case. Please refer to the IEEE standards for greater detail. Timing Parameter Differences ORD input to input on DI Steady State Prop Delay Start-Up Delay Output on DO to OTD_output Steady State Prop Delay Start-Up Delay Collision Deassert to SQE Deassert minimum MAU Timing Differences - The timing differences between 10BASE-FL and FOIRL relate to propagation delays, start-up delays, and collision deassert delays. The following table provides the details of these parameters. FOIRL (BIT Times) 10BASEFL (BIT Times) 0.5 2 3.5 5 0.5 2 3.5 5 4.5 0 OTD - Optical Transmit Data ORD - Optical Receive Data DI, DO, CI - AU Interface Signals Min. Max.

In FOIRL, it is possible to exit from the Low Light State while still receiving data.
