Application Note: SFP+ Evaluation Board

4 Evaluation Board Overview

The evaluation board has been designed to allow for the complete characterization and testing of all

JDSU SFP+ optical transceivers operating up to 11.7 Gbps. This product is backward compatible with

all SFP and SFP+ modules. A high performance microwave dielectric substrate, coplanar strip lines,

SMA connectors rated to 18GHz, and high performance SFP+ card edge connectors are used in order

to minimize the effect of the PCB and connectors on the measurement and characterization of the

SFP+ module. Each board utilizes a JDSU cage with excellent EMI performance characteristics to

allow the units to be directly installed. The line lengths have been designed to minimize channel

timing skew. A DC power connector and jumpers are provided with each board. The evaluation

board is pre-configured with zero ohm resistors installed across jumpers and is set-up for normal

operating conditions and can be reconfigured at the users’ discretion by removing the zero ohm

resistors and using the shorting jumpers supplied. An optional I2C interface is provided that is not

required for testing.

4.1 Evaluation Board Set-up and Operation

The evaluation board is pre-configured for use with any SFP+ transceiver. The shorting jumpers are

pre-installed. Many of the jumpers have 0 Ωresistors installed in parallel. The complimentary inputs

of each data channel are common SMA jacks. An I2C connector jack is installed for optional 2-wire

serial communications with the SFP+ module.

4.1.1 Block Diagram of Typical Test System

Figure 1 below shows a typical block diagram of a test system showing an optical loopback for verifying

functionality by testing the Bit Error Rate of the SFP+ Module. Other test set-ups are possible.

Application Note: SFP+ Evaluation Board

Figure 1: Block Diagram of a typical test set-up.

4.1.2 Power Supply

SFP+ devices are hot-pluggable and can be installed when the power is active. Set the power supply to

achieve 3.3 VDC at the Transceiver. Verify that the transmitter is seeing 3.3 volts by checking the TX

and RX voltage at the sense pins (VTS+/VTS- and VRS+/VRS- respectively) on the power supply

connector (see Figure 2 below).

Note: Set the Current Limit to ~300 milliamps per evaluation board if using a common power supply.

This should supply enough current for the TX, RX, and the Evaluation board over temperature.

• Maximum TX current is 110 mA

• Maximum RX current is 120 mA

4.1.3 Power Connections

The SFP+ Transceiver module requires separate power supplies for the TX and RX in accordance with

the SFP+ MSA. TX power and RX power are applied at their respective 4-pin connectors. The

Evaluation board is shipped with two 0 Ωresistors installed across the jumpers that allow the 2 power

supplies to be connected together. If the user wants to power the TX and RX from individual power

supplies then the 0 Ωresistors need to be removed. After the 0 Ωresistors are removed, either

jumper JP1 or JP2 can be used to run both TX and RX from a single power supply.

5 Description of Connectors and Jumpers

Figure 2 below shows the location of the connectors and jumpers on the JDSU SFP+ Evaluation board.

Application Note: SFP+ Evaluation Board

Figure 2: Connectors and Jumpers on JDSU’s 10G SFP+ Evaluation Board.

5.1 Connectors

The evaluation board is pre-configured for use with any SFP+ transceiver. The shorting jumpers are

pre-installed. Many of the jumpers have 0 Ωresistors installed in parallel. The complimentary inputs

of each data channel are common SMA jacks. An I2C connector jack is installed for optional 2-wire

serial communications with the SFP+ module.

5.1.1 J1: 4-Pin Connector for 2-Wire Serial Interface (I2C)

The I2C or MOD_DEF 2-wire serial interface is optional and is only required if it is desired to view the

Serial ID information or to access the digital diagnostics. JDSU offers a GUI that requires a particular

serial to I2C converter to interface with the module under test. JDSU’s GUI requires a MCC (Micro

Computer Control, www.mcc-us.com) RS-232 to I2C adapter model MIIC-203. Connection to the

evaluation board as described below requires simple modification of the cable supplied with the serial-to-

I2C adapter. The pull-up on the MMIC module can be set to either the “ON” or “OFF” position.

• Pin 1 = GND (LED D5), is grounded by the module to indicate that the module is present. This

pin is called MOD-ABS in SFF 8431. (aka MOD-DEF0)

• Pin 2 = SDA (LED D3) is the data line of the serial interface. (aka MOD-DEF2)

• Pin 3 = +5V

• Pin 4 = SCL (LED D4) is the clock line of the serial interface. (aka MOD-DEF1)

5.1.2 J2: Power Connector

•VCCT; 4-Pin connector for TX Power Supply (3.3 V) labeled “VT+” (LED D11)

- Sense terminals are labeled VTS+ and VT-

•VCCR; 4-Pin connector for RX Power Supply (3.3 V) labeled “VR+” (LED D10)

- Sense terminals are labeled VR+ and VR-.

5.1.3 J3: SFP+ Cage

JDSU offers a line of SFP+ cages with enhanced EMI performance for use at high frequencies. These

cages are shown in Table 1 on next page. This board takes a single solder-down or press-fit cage. 1x2

and 1x4 cages are shown for completeness.

5.1.4 J4: SFP+ Connector

Some SFP edge card connectors may not be compatible with higher speed SFP+ applications. SFP+

connectors for 8.5 and 10 G applications are produced by Tyco Electronics3and Molex4. The Tyco part

number is 1888247-1. The Tyco part is a distinctive off-white color enabling it to be easily distinguished

from other connectors. Molex produces two parts with different electrical plating thicknesses. Part

number 74441-0001 has 15 micro-inch gold plating, and is most common. Part number 74441-0010 has

30 micro-inch gold plating. See SFF-8083 for more information about the SFP+ card edge connector.

5.1.4.1 SFP+ Connector Pin Definitions

Figure 6 shows the Pin Definitions for SFP+ based on a draft of SFF-8431 Revision 2.1. Notice that

pins 7 and 9 (RS0 and RS1, respectively) are the rate-select pins that control the rate-select functionality.

These pins are defined in SFF 8431 as logic high for bit rates greater than 4.25Gbps and logic low for

4.25 Gbps and below. RS0 is designated for the RX, and RS1 is designated for the TX. JDSU modules

do not currently use RS1 as the TX is in specification for all the bit rates from 2 to 8 Gbps without

requiring a TX rate select. In addition, non-rate select modules are not affected by signals on these

pins. Internal 30 kΩpull-down resistors connect RS0 and RS1 to ground in all JDSU SFP+ modules.

5.1.5 J5: DB-25 Connector

Connector J5 is a DB-25 connector (jack) that provides access to many of the modules monitor and

control functions. Table 2 on page 9 provides a list of the pins with a description of each pin’s function.

- The board is shipped with R18 and R19 populated with 0 Ωresistors. To separate the TX

and RX power supplies the resistors need to be removed.

- Once the 0 Ωresistors are removed, shorting either jumper will connect VT+ to VR+.

5.2.2 SFP+ Control Jumpers JP3, JP4 and JP5

• JP3: TX_ENABLE; If this jumper is left open, the TX is disabled. The state of this pin is indicated

by D2.

• JP4: Rate_Select_0 (RS0); Not all SFP+ modules offer rate select functionality. This hardware

setting only affects modules with RX Rate Select (RS0) functionality and when in the lower logic

state, can be overridden by firmware. If this jumper is left open, then RX operation is optimized for

maximum data rate in SFP+ modules with rate select functionality. If this jumper is shorted, RX

Rate select is asserted and the RX operation in SFP+ modules with rate select functionality is

optimized for lower data rates per SFF-8079, INF-8074i and SFF-8472. The state of this pin is

indicated by D6.

• JP5: Rate_Select_1 (RS1); Not all SFP+ modules offer rate select functionality. This hardware

setting only affects modules with TX Rate Select (RS1) functionality and when in the lower logic

state, can be overridden by firmware. If this jumper is left open, then TX operation is optimized for

maximum data rate in SFP+ modules with rate select functionality. If this jumper is shorted, TX

Rate select is asserted and the TX operation in SFP+ modules with rate select functionality is

optimized for lower data rates per SFF-8079, INF-8074i and SFF-8472. The state of this pin is

indicated by LED D8.

6 LED Status Indicators on the Evaluation Board

A number of LEDs on the board indicate the status of various parameters. Table 3 below provides a

list of the LEDs and their function. The location of each LED on the board is shown in Figure 7, on

8 ESD Precautions

Normal ESD precautions are required during the handling of this equipment. The transceivers and

evaluation boards are shipped in ESD protective packaging. They should be removed from the

packaging and otherwise handled in an ESD protected environment utilizing standard grounded

benches, floor mats, and wrist straps.

The following precautions should be observed at all times when using static-sensitive boards and devices.

8.1 Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)

When handling electrostatic sensitive devices make certain that the environment is protected against

electrostatic discharge. Operators should wear anti-static clothing. Containers and other objects that

come into direct contact with devices should be made of anti-static materials and should be grounded

to earth via a 0.5 MΩto 1.0 MΩprotective resistor. Please follow the precautions described below.

8.2 Work Environment

When humidity in the working environment decreases, the human body and other insulators can

easily become charged with static electricity due to friction. Maintain the recommended humidity of

40% to 60% in the work environment, while also taking into account the fact that moisture-proof-

packed products may absorb moisture after unpacking.

Be sure that all equipment, jigs and tools in the working area are grounded to earth.

Place a conductive mat over the floor of the work area, or take other appropriate measures, so that

the floor surface is protected against static electricity and is grounded to earth. The surface resistivity

should be 104to 108Ω/sq and the resistance between surface and ground, 7.5 x 105to 108Ω

Application Note: SFP+ Evaluation Board

Figure 9:Transmitter Eye from JDSU’s 1310nm 10G SFP+ with 10GbE Mask.

Cover the workbench surface with a conductive mat with a surface resistivity of 104to 108Ω/sq, for a

resistance between surface and ground of 7.5 x 105to 108Ω. The purpose of this is to disperse static

electricity on the surface through resistive components and ground it to earth. Workbench surfaces

must not be constructed of low-resistance metallic materials that allow rapid static discharge when a

charged device touches them directly.

Note: Do not operate electronic circuits in direct contact with conductive mats.

8.3 Operating Environment

• Operators must wear anti-static clothing and conductive shoes (or a leg or heel strap).

• Operators must wear a wrist strap grounded to earth via a resistor of about 1MΩ.

• Soldering irons must be grounded from iron tip to earth, and must be used only at low voltages

(6V to 24V).

• If tweezers are likely to touch device terminals, use anti-static tweezers. Avoid metallic tweezers. If a

charged device touches a low-resistance tool, rapid discharge can occur. When using vacuum

tweezers, attach a conductive chuck to the tip and connect it to a dedicated ground used especially

for anti-static purposes (suggested resistance value: 104to 108Ω).

• Do not place devices or their containers near sources of strong electrical fields (such as near a CRT).

When storing printed circuit boards which have ESD–sensitive devices mounted on them, use a

board container or bag that is protected against static discharge. To avoid the occurrence of static

charge or discharge due to friction, keep the boards separate from one another and do not stack them

directly on top of one another.

• Ensure that any articles that are brought to any location where the level of static electricity must be

closely controlled are constructed of anti-static materials.

• In cases where the human body comes in direct contact with a device, be sure to wear anti-static

finger covers or gloves (suggested resistance value: 108Ω or less).

• Equipment safety covers installed near devices should have resistance ratings of 109Ωor less.

• If a wrist strap cannot be used for some reason, and there is a possibility of imparting friction to

devices, use an ionizer.

9 Optical Connector Care and Cleaning

While not intended to be a complete guide, the following steps are given as a reference for optical

fiber connector cleaning. JDSU recommends using either a dry cloth cleaning system, or lint-free

wipes/swabs moistened with 99% pure isopropyl alcohol followed by 3 short blasts of canned air. All

cleaning materials have been shown to cause scratches on fiber end-faces and optical surfaces and

care should be taken to handle these surfaces gently. NEVER clean the fiber end-face with a dry tissue.

Process plug

The JDSU SFP+ transceivers are supplied with a process plug. This plug protects the transmitter and

receiver’s optics during standard manufacturing processes by preventing contamination from dust or

other airborne particles. It is recommended that the process plugs remain in the transmitter and

receiver whenever an optical fiber connector is not inserted. Process plugs should be cleaned carefully

before reinsertion into the module.

Application Note: SFP+ Evaluation Board

9.1 Cleaning Optical Connectors with Wipes, Swabs and Isopropyl Alcohol

The following items are required:

• Canned Air (Clean, dry, oil free compressed air)

• Industrial grade 99% pure isopropyl alcohol (Commercially available isopropyl alcohol is not

recommended as it may be diluted with water and a light mineral oil and may leave a residue.)

• Lint free wipes, such as Kimwipes®

• Lint-free swabs

9.1.1 Instructions for Fiber Connector End-face Cleaning

Step 1 Fold a clean soft, lint-free wipe such as Kimwipes® several times to get a pad of 6 to 8 layers of

material.

Step 2 Remove the protective cap on the optical fiber cable connector.

Step 3 Dampen (but do not soak) a corner of the wipe with alcohol using the alcohol dispenser.

Step 4 Firmly but gently press the tip of the optical connector into the alcohol-moistened area of the

wipe. Slide the connector back and forth on the wipe. Repeat this step three times, using a clean

alcohol-moistened area each time.

Step 5 Discard the used wipe.

Step 6 A couple of short blasts of clean, dry, oil-free compressed air should be used to remove any

tissue fragments that may have been deposited on the connector end-face during cleaning.

Inspect the connector end-face. If it is still dirty, repeat the cleaning procedure

9.1.2 Instructions for Cleaning the Optical Connector on the TRX Module

The optical connector on the TRX modules should only require cleaning with a couple of short blasts of

clean, dry, oil-free compressed air. In rare cases when foreign material comes in contact with the optical

interface of the TRX module, lint-free swabs that have been lightly moistened with industrial grade

isopropyl alcohol can be used to clean the optical interface by gently wiping them across the surface. This

should be followed by a couple of short blasts of clean, dry, oil-free compressed air.

9.2 Cleaning Optical Connectors with Dry Cloth Cleaning Kits

Many brands of dry cloth cleaning kits are commercially available including the NTT-AT Connector

Cleaning Kit, Hellermann/Tyton Fiberclean, Specialized Products Company’s UCC-700 Universal

Connector Cleaner, and others. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions.
