Part of the Agilent METRAK family
Data Sheet
Description
The HFCT-5944xxx are high
performance, cost effective
modules for serial optical data
communications applications
that range from 125 Mb/s to 2.7
Gb/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-5944L/AL/G/AG
incorporates a 1300 nm Fabry
Perot (FP) laser. The transmitter
in the HFCT-5944TL/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 the LC
fiber connector interface and is
footprint compatible with SFF
Multi Source Agreement (MSA).

Functional Description
Receiver Section
Design
The receiver section for the
HFCT-5944xxx 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 155 Mb/s, 622 Mb/s
and 2488 Mb/s without
significant distortion or
performance penalty. For
multirate applications the
sensitivity will meet the
maximum SONET specification
for OC48 across all datarates (19 dBm), also for DC balanced
codes, e.g. 8B/10B. For codes
which have a significantly lower
frequency content, 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 2.7 Gb/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-5944L/AL/G/AG
incorporates an FP laser and the
HFCT-5944TL/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.
In combination witht he
metalized nose segment of the
package 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 tradeoffs associated with these
transceivers. You can contact
them through your Agilent sales
representative.
The following information is
provided to answer some of the
most common questions about
the use of the parts.

optical power (dBm avg) and the
lowest receiver sensitivity (dBm
avg). This OPB provides the
necessary optical signal range to
establish a working fiber-optic
link. The OPB is allocated for the
fiber-optic cable length and the
corresponding link penalties.
For proper link performance, all
penalties that affect the link
performance must be accounted
for within the link optical power
budget.
Optical Power Budget and
Link Penalties
The worst-case Optical Power

Data Line Interconnections
Agilent’s HFCT-5944xxx 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
output optical power level to its
preset value.

The HFCT-5944xxx 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.

(pins 9, 10).
Signal Detect is a single-ended,
+3.3 V TTL compatible output

shows a resistor network, which
could be used to do this. Note
that the photo detector bias
current pin must be connected
to VCC. Agilent also recommends
that a decoupling capacitor is
used on this pin.

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-5944xxx 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
9
A
(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-5944xxx
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-5944xxx) have nose
shields which provide a
convenient chassis connection to
the nose of the transceiver. This
nose shield and the underlying
metalization (except ‘G’ options)
improve 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-5944xxx 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-5944xxx are
compatible with industrystandard wave solder processes.
10
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 hightemperature, 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-5944xxx 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.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
The device has been tested to
comply with MIL-STD-883E
(Method 3015). It is important to
use normal ESD handling
precautions for ESD sensitive
devices. These precautions
include using grounded wrist
straps, work benches, and floor
mats in ESD controlled areas.
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.
Immunity
Transceivers will be subject to
radio-frequency electromagnetic
fields following the IEC 61000-4-3
test method.
Table 1: Regulatory Compliance - Targeted Specification
Eye Safety
These laser-based transceivers
are classified as AEL Class I
(U.S. 21 CFR(J) and AEL Class 1
per EN 60825-1 (+A11). They are
eye safe when used within the
data sheet limits per CDRH.
They are also eye safe under
normal operating conditions and
under all reasonably foreseeable
single fault conditions per

failure may result.
Connection of the devices to a
non-approved optical source,
operating above the
recommended absolute
maximum conditions or
operating the HFCT-5944xxx 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).

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 2 23-1 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. For multirate applications the sensitivity will meet the maximum SONET specification for OC48 across all datarates (-19 dBm).
7. Beginning of life sensitivity at +25°C is -22 dBm (worst case).
