Offering SONET/SDH compatibility, the T92-Type Uncooled
Laser Transmitter is manufactured in a 24-pin DIP assembly
with a single-mode fiber pigtail.
Description
The T92-Type 10 Gbits/s laser transmitters are
designed for use in transmission systems and high-
speed data communication applications. The trans-
mitter operates at the SONET OC-192 rate, as well
as, the ITU-T SDH rate of STM-64.
The transmitters meet all present
Telcordia Technolo-
gies
* GR-253-CORE requirements and the ITU-T
G.691 recommendations (see footnote 7, p.4). The
transmitters are also ideally suited for extended dis-
tance data and networking applications.
Manufactured in a 24-pin DIP assembly, the transmit-
ter uses an hermetic MQW isolated 1300 nm DFB
laser, an InGaAs PIN photodiode back-facet monitor
and a GaAs laser driver IC. The transmitter requires
a single power supply (–5.2 V or +5.0 V). Clocked
operation can be enabled for those applications
where jitter is critical.
Pin information is listed in Table 1.

Bias Monitor Output
This is an optional analog output voltage that indicates
the bias current being supplied to the laser. It is refer-
enced to V
EE
. The conversion for this monitor output is
20 mV for every 1 mA of bias current to the laser. For
example, a 400 mV output above V
EE
would indicate
20 mA of bias current to the laser.

Description

Transmitter Processing
The transmitter can withstand normal wave soldering
processes. The complete transmitter module is not her-
metically sealed; therefore, it should not be immersed
in or sprayed with any cleaning solution or solvents.
The process cap and fiber pigtail jacket can deform at
temperatures greater than 85 °C. The transmitter pins
can be wave-soldered at a maximum temperature of
250 °C for 10 seconds.
Installation Considerations
Although the transmitter has been designed with rug-
gedness in mind, care should be used during handling.
The optical connector should be kept free from dust,
and the process cap should be kept in place as a dust
cover when the device is not connected to a cable. If
contamination is present on the optical connector, the
use of canned air with an extension tube should
remove any debris. Other cleaning procedures are
identified in the
Cleaning Fiber-Optic Assemblies
Tech-
nical Note (TN95-010LWP).
Laser Degrade-mode Alarm
An output of the transmitter that indicates when the
laser bias has reached its end-of-life condition. The
transmitter will still function, but may not meet all speci-
fications. The transmitter should be replaced when this
alarm is active (active low). Specifically, this alarm indi-
cates that the bias of the laser has changed more than
50% from its original value.
Back-facet Monitor Output
This is an analog output that indicates whether the
transmitter has the correct optically generated back-
facet current. It may be used for alarm purposes. It is
referenced to V
EE
. Under normal operating conditions,
this monitor will output a voltage that is nominally
500 mV above V
EE
. When the optical output power of
the transmitter increases or decreases, this voltage will
move proportionately.
1. Laser back-facet function is a customer-use option that is not
required for normal operations of the transmitter and is normally
used during manufacture and for diagnostics.
2. Laser temperature (°C) = (V
TEMP
– 0.5 V)/0.01 V, where V
TEMP
is
the temperature monitor voltage.
3. This pin can be tied to ground.
4. For single-ended operation, data signal must be on pin 16, and
DATA
(pin 18) must 50
Ω
terminated to ground; for single-ended
clocked operation, clock signal must be on pin 20, and
CLOCK
(pin
22) must be 50
Ω
terminated to ground.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are abso-
lute stress ratings only. Functional operation of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in excess
of those given in the operations sections of the data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for extended
periods can adversely affect device reliability.

connected to –5.2 V, V

must be at 0 V; With V

connected to +5.0V, V

must be at 0 V.
2. Inputs are ac-coupled into an equivalent input impedance of 50
Ω.
3. Single-ended or differential operation may be used. If the inputs are driven single-ended, the unused inputs (
Clock

ter-
minated to ground.
4. Clocked operation is normally enabled and only requires an external voltage to disable. For nonclocked operation, pin 5 must be tied to V
CC
.
5. With clocked operation, the optical output changes state with the rising edge of the input clock signal. The skew is measured with the rising
edge of the clock centered in the middle of the data eye.
6. The transmitter is normally enabled and only requires an external voltage to disable.
7. This alarm will go active when the bias current to the laser has increased 50% or more from its beginning-of-life (BOL) value.
8. This voltage is measured from Pin 3 to V
EE
and is converted to laser bias current with the ratio of 20 mV/mA.
9. This voltage is measured from Pin 2 to V
EE
.
