Description
General
The CDX2622 is a 1300 nm laser-
based duplex SC receptacle 2 x 9
transceiver with integral clock
and data recovery circuits. It
provides a cost-effective solution
to medium haul 622 Mb/s data
link requirements.
This compact transceiver requires
a single +5 V source and
contains the following data, clock
and monitoring features as
depicted in Figure 1: differential
data input, differential retimed
data output, recovered clock
output, signal detect, laser bias
monitor, transmitter disable and
an option to generate a local
timing signal from an external,
low-frequency reference clock.
The external timing signal acts as
the reference clock when
incoming optical signals become
undetectable.
Multimode Transceiver
The CDX2622 is designed as a
drop in replacement for the
HFBR-5207, a multimode, duplex
SC transceiver capable of a
500 m transmission distance.
This multimode product uses the
same pin-out enabling a single
board design for both multimode
and singlemode links.

Transmitter Section
The transmitter section of the
CDX2622 is similar to 1300 nm
single mode transceivers in use at
the 155 Mb/s rate. It consists of a
1300 nm InGaAsP laser in an eye-
safe optical subassembly (OSA)
which mates to the fiber cable.
The laser OSA is driven by a
custom, silicon bipolar IC which
converts differential input PECL
logic signal into an analog laser
drive current.
Receiver Section
The receiver section of the
transceiver provides a full set of
features including an integral
clock and data recovery (CDR)
circuit together with an optional,
selectable receiver local clock
source.
The receiver utilizes an InGaAs
PIN photodiode mounted
together with a GaAs transimped-
ance preamplifier IC in an OSA.
This OSA is connected to a
custom, silicon bipolar circuit
providing post-amplification and
quantization, CDR function, and
optical signal detection.

CDR Function
In normal operation, the CDR
data loop is able to acquire and
maintain bit lock without the use
of the optional, external refer-
ence clock. This loop consists of
a patented phase/frequency
detector with false-lock protec-
tion. The recovered clock is used
to re-time the quantizer data
output, which completes the full
CDR function.
The relative timing relationship
between the output re-timed data
and the recovered clock signals is
shown graphically in Figure 2.
For input optical power greater
than the specified receiver
sensitivity of -28 dBm, the bit-
error-ratio will be better than
1 x 10
-10
. As the input power is
decreased by several dB, the bit-
error-ratio degrades. Within 1 dB
below the 1 x 10
-2
BER input
optical power level, the CDR will
begin to lose lock and the clock
frequency will drift from
622.08 MHz. Once the CDR loses
lock, the clock frequency will
sweep through the entire V
CO
range, about 540 to 700 MHz.
The rate of the sweep is inversely
proportional to the input optical
power and will reach its
maximum at a point of 2 dB
below the lock point. Since data
is retimed to the clock, a loss of
lock will produce an output data
stream consisting of randomly
switching data bits, i.e. noise.

Receiver Signal Detect
As the input optical power is
decreased, Signal Detect will
switch from high to low (de-
assert point) at a point between
3 dB below minimum guaranteed
sensitivity and the no light input
level. As the input optical power
is increased from very low levels,
Signal Detect will switch back
from low to high (assert point).
The assert level will be at least
0.5 dB higher than the de-assert
level. This single- ended low-
power PECL output is designed
to drive a standard PECL input
using a 10 kΩ load instead of the
normal 50
Ω
PECL load.
Reference Clock
In applications where the receiver
recovered clock frequency is not
allowed to drift upon loss of input
optical signal, the CDX2622 has
the ability to generate a local
clock output by multiplying an
optional, external 19.44 MHz
reference clock up to the OC-12/
STM4 (622.08 MHz) rate. This
feature is possible because the
clock recovery system consists of
two loops: a data loop which
locks onto the incoming optical
data stream, and a second
reference loop which locks onto
the optional external reference
clock.
This optional feature is initiated
by applying a Lock-to-Reference
logic signal to pin 2 (Lck Ref-)
which switches the loop to the
external reference clock and
disables the received data
outputs. Pin 2 (Lck Ref-) can be
driven from the Signal Detect pin
15 (SD) output or from other
logic further upstream in the
ATM interface which may be
monitoring the quality of the
received data stream.
Transceiver Specified for
Wide Temperature Range
Operation
The CDX2622 is specified for
operation over normal
commercial temperature range of
0° to +70°C (CDX2622B/D) or
the extended temperature range
of -40° to +85°C (CDX2622A/C).

Recommended Circuit
Schematic
In order to insure proper
functionality of the CDX2622 a
recommended circuit is provided
in Figure 4. When designing the
circuit interface, there are a few
fundamental guidelines to follow.
For example, in the Recom-
mended Circuit Schematic figure
the differential data lines should
be treated as 50
Ω
Microstrip or
stripline transmission lines. This
will help to minimize the parasitic
inductance and capacitance
effects. Proper termination of the
differential data and clock signals
will prevent reflections and
ringing which would compromise
the signal fidelity and generate

unwanted electrical noise. Locate
termination at the received signal
end of the transmission line. The
length of these lines should be
kept short and of equal length to
prevent pulse-width distortion
and data-to-clock timing skew
from occurring. For the high
speed signal lines, differential
signals should be used, not
single-ended signals, and these
differential signals need to be
loaded symmetrically to prevent
unbalanced currents from flowing
which will cause distortion in the
signal.
Maintain a solid, low inductance
ground plane for returning signal
currents to the power supply.
Multi-layer plane printed circuit
board is best for distribution of
V
CC
, returning ground currents,
forming transmission lines and
shielding. Also, it is important to
suppress noise from influencing
the fiber-optic transceiver per-
formance, especially the receiver
and the clock recovery circuits.
Proper power supply filtering of
V
CC
for this transceiver is
accomplished by using the
recommended, separate filter
circuits shown in Figure 4. These
filter circuits suppress V
CC
noise
of 50 mV peak-to-peak or less
over a broad frequency range.
This prevents receiver sensitivity
degradation as well as false-lock
or loss-of-lock in the clock
recovery circuitry due to V
CC
noise. It is recommended that
surface-mount components be
used. Use tantalum capacitors for
the 10
µF
capacitors and mono-
lithic, ceramic bypass capacitors
for the 0.1
µF
capacitors. Also, it
is recommended that a surface-
mount coil inductor of 1
µH
be
used. Ferrite beads can be used
to replace the coil inductors when
using quieter V
CC
supplies, but a
coil inductor is recommended
354
over a ferrite bead. Coils with a
low, series dc resistance
(<0.7
Ω)
and high, self-
resonating frequency are recom-
mended. All power supply
components need to be placed
physically next to the V
CC
pins of
the receiver and transmitter. Use
a good, uniform ground plane
with a minimum number of holes
to provide a low-inductance
ground current return for the
power supply currents.

tions, Hewlett- Packard’s Applica-
tion Engineering staff is available

Operation in -5.2 V Designs
For applications that require
-5.2 Vdc power supply level for
true ECL logic circuits, the
CDX2622 transceiver can be
operated with a V
CC
= 0 Vdc and
a V
EE
= -5.2 Vdc. This trans-
ceiver is not specified with an
operating, negative power supply
voltage. The potential compro-
mises that can occur with use of
-5.2 Vdc power are that the
absolute voltage states for V
OH
and V
OL
will be changed slightly
due to the 0.2 V difference in
supply levels. Also, noise
immunity may be compromised
for the CDX2622 transceiver
because the ground plane is now
the V
CC
supply point. The sug-
gested power supply filter circuit
shown in Figure 4 Recommended
Circuit Schematic should be
located in the V
EE
paths at the
transceiver supply pins. Direct
coupling of the differential data
and clock signals can be done
between the CDX2622 trans-
ceiver and the standard ECL
circuits. For guaranteed -5.2 Vdc
operation, contact your local
Hewlett- Packard Field Sales
Engineer for assistance.
