Electrostatic Discharge
Caution: This device is susceptible to damage as
a result of electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Take proper precautions during both
handling and testing. Follow
EIA
®
stan-
dard
EIA-625.
Although protection circuitry is designed into the
device, take proper precautions to avoid exposure to
ESD. Agere Systems employs a human-body model
(HBM) for ESD-susceptibility testing and protection-
design evaluation. ESD voltage thresholds are depen-
dent on the critical parameters used to define the
model. A standard HBM (resistance = 1.5 kΩ, capaci-
tance = 100 pF) is widely used and, therefore, can be
used for comparison purposes. The HBM ESD thresh-
old established for the 1417G5 and 1417H5 transceiv-
ers is
±1000
V.
Printed-Wiring Board Layout Considerations
A fiber-optic receiver employs a very high-gain, wide-
bandwidth transimpedance amplifier. This amplifier
detects and amplifies signals that are only tens of nA in
amplitude when the receiver is operating near its sensi-
tivity limit. Any unwanted signal currents that couple
into the receiver circuitry cause a decrease in the
receiver's sensitivity and can also degrade the perfor-
mance of the receiver's signal detect (SD) circuit. To
minimize the coupling of unwanted noise into the
receiver, careful attention must be given to the printed-
wiring board.
At a minimum, a double-sided printed-wiring board
(PWB) with a large component-side ground plane
beneath the transceiver must be used. In applications
that include many other high-speed devices, a multi-
layer PWB is highly recommended. This permits the
placement of power and ground on separate layers,
which allows them to be isolated from the signal lines.
Multilayer construction also permits the routing of sen-
sitive signal traces away from high-level, high-speed
signal lines. To minimize the possibility of coupling
noise into the receiver section, high-level, high-speed
signals such as transmitter inputs and clock lines
should be routed as far away as possible from the
receiver pins.
Application Information
The 1417 receiver section is a highly sensitive fiber-
optic receiver. Although the data outputs are digital
logic levels (PECL), the device should be thought of as
an analog component. When laying out system appli-
cation boards, the 1417 transceiver should receive the
same type of consideration one would give to a sensi-
tive analog component.

Application Information

Noise that couples into the receiver through the power
supply pins can also degrade performance. It is recom-
mended that the pi filter, shown in Figure 2, be used for
both the transmitter and receiver power supplies.
decipher the proper logic levels and can cause transi-
tions to occur where none were intended. Also, by min-
imizing high-frequency ringing, possible EMI problems
can be avoided.
The signal-detect output is LVTTL logic. A logic low at
this output indicates that the optical signal into the
receiver has been interrupted or that the light level has
fallen below the minimum signal detect threshold. This
output should not be used as an error rate indicator,
since its switching threshold is determined only by the
magnitude of the incoming optical signal.
Data Clock and Signal Detect Outputs
The data clock and signal detect outputs of the 1417
transceiver are driven by open-emitter NPN transistors,
which have an output impedance of approximately 7
Ω.
Each output can provide approximately 50 mA maxi-
mum current to a 50
Ω
load terminated to V
CC
– 2.0 V.
Due to the high switching speeds of ECL outputs,
transmission line design must be used to interconnect
components. To ensure optimum signal fidelity, both
data outputs (RD+/RD–) and clock outputs (CLK+/
CLK–) should be terminated identically. The signal
lines connecting the data and clock outputs to the next
device should be equal in length and have matched
impedances. Controlled impedance stripline or micros-
trip construction must be used to preserve the quality
of the signal into the next component and to minimize
reflections back into the receiver, which could degrade
its performance. Excessive ringing due to reflections
caused by improperly terminated signal lines makes it
difficult for the component receiving these signals to
Transceiver Processing
When the process plug is placed in the transceiver's
optical port, the transceiver and plug can withstand
normal wave soldering and aqueous spray cleaning
processes. However, the transceiver is not hermetic,
and should not be subjected to immersion in cleaning
solvents. The transceiver case should not be exposed
to temperatures in excess of 125
°C.
The transceiver
pins can be wave soldered at 250
°C
for up to 10 sec-
onds. The process plug should only be used once.
After removing the process plug from the transceiver, it
must not be used again as a process plug; however, if it
has not been contaminated, it can be reused as a dust
cover.
