Functional Description
Receiver Section
Design
The receiver section of the
HFBR/HFCT-5908E 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
separate circuit board.
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
622 MBd 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
network 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 also
reduce the sensitivity of the
receiver as the signal bit rate is
increased above 622 MBd.
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.

Functional Description
Transmitter Section
Design
The transmitter section of the
HFBR/HFCT-5908E uses a buried
heterostructure Fabry Perot laser
as its optical source. The package
of this laser is designed to allow
repeatable coupling into single
mode fiber for the HFCT-5908E
and multimode fiber for the
HFBR-5908E. In addition, this
package has been designed to be
compliant with IEC 825 Class 1
and CDRH Class I eye safety
requirements. The optical output
is controlled by a custom IC
which 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 life.

Package footprint and front panel
considerations
The Agilent transceiver complies
with the circuit board “Common
Transceiver Footprint” hole
pattern defined in the original
multisource announcement which
defined the 2 x 5 package style.
This drawing is reproduced in
Figure 6 with the addition of ANSI
Y14.5M compliant dimensioning to
be used as a guide in the
mechanical layout of your circuit
board. Figure 7 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 transmitter must either maintain eye-safe
operation or be disabled.
The HFBR/HFCT-5908E utilizes an
optical subassembly consisting of
a short piece of single mode fiber
along with a current limiting
circuit to guarantee eye-safety. It
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 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). A Signal Detect
indicating a working link is
functional when receiving
encoded 8B/10B characters. 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 HFBR/HFCT5908E to provide excellent 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.
Radiated Emissions for the HFBR/
HFCT-5908E have been tested
successfully in several
environments. While this number
is important for system designers
in terms of emissions levels inside
a system, Agilent recognizes that
the performance of most interest
to our customers is the emissions
levels, which could be expected to
radiate to the outside world from
inside a typical system. In their
application, SFF transceivers are
intended for use inside an
enclosed system, protruding
through the specified panel
opening at the specified
protrusion depth.
Along with the system advantage
of high port density comes the
increase in the number of
apertures. Careful attention must
be paid to the locations of highspeed clocks or gigabit circuitry
with respect to these apertures.
While experimental measurements
and experiences do not indicate
any specific transceiver emissions
issues, Agilent recognizes that the
transceiver aperture is often a
weak link in system enclosure
integrity and has designed the
modules to minimize emissions
and contain the internal system
emissions by shielding the
aperture.
To that end, Agilent’s OC-12/STM-4
MT-RJ transceivers (HFCT-5908E
and HFBR-5908E) have nose
shields which provide a convenient
chassis connection to the nose of
the transceiver. This nose shield
improves system EMI performance
by closing off the MT-RJ 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 HFBR/HFCT-5908E are the
same, making them mechanically
drop-in compatible. Figure 7 shows
the recommended positioning of
the transceivers with respect to
the PCB and faceplate.
Package and Handling Instructions
Flammability
The HFBR/HFCT-5908E
transceiver housing consists of
high strength, heat resistant,
chemically resistant, and UL 94 V-0
flame retardant plastic and metal
packaging.
Recommended Solder and Wash
Process
The HFBR/HFCT-5908E is
compatible with industry-standard
wave or hand solder processes.
9
Process plug
This transceiver is supplied with a
process plug for protection of the
optical port within the MT-RJ
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 +80°C
and a rinse pressure of 110 lbs per
square inch.
Recommended Solder fluxes
Solder fluxes used with the HFBR/
HFCT-5908E should be watersoluble, 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.
Regulatory Compliance
(See the Regulatory Compliance
Table for transceiver performance)
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)
There are two design cases in
which immunity to ESD damage is
important.
The first case is during handling of
the transceiver prior to mounting
it on the circuit board. 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. The transceiver performance has been shown to provide
adequate performance in typical
industry production
environments.
The second case to consider is
static discharges to the exterior of
the equipment chassis containing
the transceiver parts. To the
extent that the MT-RJ connector
receptacle is exposed to the
outside of the equipment chassis
it may be subject to whatever
system-level ESD test criteria that
the equipment is intended to
meet. The transceiver
performance is more robust than
typical industry equipment
requirements of today.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
Most equipment designs utilizing
these high-speed transceivers
from Agilent will be required to
meet the requirements of FCC in
the United States, CENELEC
EN55022 (CISPR 22) in Europe
and VCCI in Japan. Refer to EMI
section (page 8) for more details.
Immunity
Equipment utilizing these
transceivers will be subject to
radio-frequency electromagnetic
fields in some environments.
These transceivers have good
immunity to such fields due to
their shielded design.

CAUTION:
There are no user serviceable parts
nor any maintenance required for
the HFBR/HFCT-5908E. All
adjustments are made at the
factory before shipment to our
customers. Tampering with or
modifying the performance of the
HFBR/HFCT-5908E will result in
voided product warranty. It may
also result in improper operation
of the HFBR/HFCT-5908E
circuitry, and possible overstress
of the laser source. Device
degradation or product failure
may result.
11
Connection of the HFBR/HFCT5908E to a non-approved optical
source, operating above the
recommended absolute maximum
conditions or operating the HFBR/
HFCT-5908E 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
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. Over temperatures, voltage and lifetime for 50µm and 62.5 µm fiber.
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 specification is intended to indicate the performance of the receiver section of the transceiver when the input power ranges from the
minimum level (with a window time-width) to the maximum level. Over this range the receiver is guaranteed to provide output data with a Bit
Error Ratio (BER) better than or equal to 1 x 10-10
• At the Beginning of Life (BOL)
• Over the specified operating temperature and voltage ranges
• Input is at 622.08 Mbd, 2 23-1 PRBS data pattern with 72 “1”s and 72 “0”s inserted per the CCITT (now ITU-T) recommendation G.958
Appendix 1.
• Receiver worst-case output data eye-opening (window time-width) is measured by applying worst-case input systematic (SJ) and random
jitter (RJ). The worst-case maximum input SJ = 0.5 ns peak-to-peak and the RJ = 0.15 ns peak-to-peak per ANSI T1.646a standard. Since the
random jitter contribution is very small and difficult to produce exactly, only the maximum systematic jitter is produced and used for testing
the receiver. The corresponding receiver test window time-width must meet the requirement of 0.31 ns or larger. This worst-case test
window time-width results from the following jitter equation:
Minimum Test Window Time-Width = Baud Interval - Tx SJ max. - Rx SJ max. - Rx RJ max.
Respectively, Minimum Test Window Time-Width = 1.608 ns - 0.50 ns - 0.30 ns - 0.48 ns = 0.328 ns.
This is a test method that is within practical test error of the worst-case 0.31 ns limit.
• Transmitter operating with a 622.08 MBd, 311.04 MHz square wave input signal to simulate any cross talk present between the transmitter
and receiver sections of the transceiver.

Notes:
1. Measurement performed using Agilent OMNIBER test equipment (Agilent 718). The measurement is done in loop back configuration and
hence includes some contribution from the module’s receiver.
2. Power dissipation value is the power dissipated in the receiver itself. It is calculated as the sum of the products of VCC and ICC minus the sum
of the products of the output voltages and currents.
3. This voltage swing is compatible with 10 k, 10 kH, and 100 k ECL and PECL inputs.
4. These are 20-80% values.
