Pins 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 13, 15, 16 GND: These pins should be connected to the circuit ground. Pins 7, 9, DATA, DATA: These pins provide complementary PECL DATA and DATA outputs. The DATA output is noninverting, an optical pulse causes the DATA output to go to the PECL logic high state (+4 V nominal). Pin 10, PD Bias: This pin must be connected to any voltage from 0 V (GND) to -5 V. This provides the photodiode bias. The current drawn is directly proportional to the average received photocurrent. I = Responsitivity x Mean Power. The responsivity will be between 0.7 A/W and 1.0 A/W. Pin 11, +5 V: This pin should be connected to +5 V supply. The network shown below should be placed as close as possible to pin 11. Pins 12, 14 ALARM, ALARM: These pins provide complementary differential ALARM and ALARM outputs. This is the low light alarm. ALARM goes to a logic low (3.3 V nominal) state when the optical power drops below the threshold level (insufficient optical power). The optical power must increase to a higher level than the level where the alarm went low before ALARM will return to a logic high. This difference is the alarm hysteresis. 1 µH +5 V PIN 11 10 µF 100 nF 100 nF 419 Functional Description Design The receiver contains an InGaAsP photodetector, transimpedance amplifier and interface amplifier circuit. It is designed with a multimode fiber pigtail to allow maximum flexibility in connector options. The interface amplifier is capacitively coupled to the preamplifier circuit. Terminating the Outputs The data outputs of the RCV1551 are PECL compatible. Care should be taken to match termination impedances to the interconnect to minimize reflection effects. Both serial data outputs (DATA and DATA) should be terminated identically, even if only one output is used, in order to balance the drive currents drawn from the module. This will lower the power supply noise generated by the receiver and improve performance at low optical input power levels. Power Supplies The RCV1551 will operate to specifications with a single +5 V power supply (Pin 10 Grounded). The -5 V PIN bias is provided to maintain functional compatibility with second sources. Circuit Layout The RCV1551 uses very high bandwidth circuitry to achieve its high level of performance. Care must be taken to ensure stable operation. The use of ground planes and transmission line interconnects is required. The use of a standard evaluation board is highly recommended for those users who are not familiar with these techniques. Signal traces should conform to ECL design rules to prevent reflections and ringing from degrading performance. Useful guidelines are contained in ECL manufacturer design manuals. Manufacturing The fiber pigtail on the device requires normal fiber handling considerations. Care should be taken to avoid tight bends as well as excessive tension on the fiber pigtail. The allowable temperature range for the RCV1551 is limited by the material used in the pigtail. Exposure to temperatures over +85°C is not recommended. Low profile sockets and hand soldering are recommended for this part. VCC (+5 V) ALARM ALARM TRANSIMPEDANCE AMPLIFIER V NEG (-5 V OR GROUND) Figure 1.
