DESCRIPTION
The Siemens ESCON/SBCON optical devices, along with the
ESCON / SBCON optical duplex connector, are best suited for
high speed fiber optic duplex transmission systems operating
at a wavelength of 1300 nm. The system is fully compatible
with the IBM ESCON standard and the SBCON standard of
ANSI. It includes a transmitter and a receiver for data rates of
up to 320 MBaud. A non-dissipative plastic receptacle matches
the ESCON/SBCON duplex connector.
The inputs/outputs are PECL compatible and the unit operates
from a single power supply of 3.0 V to 5.5 V. As an option, the
data output stages can be switched to static low levels during
absence of light as indicated by the Signal Detect function.
The optical interface of transmitter and receiver have standard
0.7” spacing. The receptacle and connector have been keyed in
order to prevent reverse insertion of the connector into the
receptacle. After proper insertion the connector is securely held
by a snap-in lock mechanism.
The transmitter converts a serial electrical PECL input signal
with data rates of up to 320 MBaud to an optical serial signal.
The receiver converts this signal back to an electrical serial
signal, depending on the detected optical rate.

APPLICATION NOTE
Power Supply Filtering
In most of the applications using ESCON 200 MBd optical
transceivers additional high speed circuits such as switching
power supply, clock oscillator, or high speed multiplexer are
present on the application board. These often create power
supply noise at a high spectral bandwidth caused by very fast
transitions in today’s chip technology.
The Siemens ESCON Transceiver Family provides superior EMI
performance with regards to the emission and immission of
radiation and provides immunity against conductive noise. Some
basic recommendations are presented herein to ensure proper
functionality in the field.
Receiver Section
For the receiver part of an ESCON transceiver the footprint
shows 2 power supply sections:
VCC1 (Pin 24) and VCC2 (Pins 26,27).
VCC1 is the power supply for the post amplifier and the ECL
output stages of the receiver. VCC2 supplies more sensitive
parts of the receiver.
Pins 26 and 27 are the supply pins for the preamplifier and the
bias for the photodiode.
Transmitter Section
The transmitter consists of only one power supply. Its LED diode
driving current is in the range of 60mA. This is very high
compared to the switching currents on the receiver section.
To buffer these peaks, external capacitors are recommended.
Capacitors will also reduce ringing on the power supply of the
customer‘s board.
Transceiver Filtering
For overall functionality, the sensitive stage of the receiver
section (VCC2) must be decoupled from the output stages and
from high switching currents on the transmitter section.
Filtering Circuitry
The use of SMD components is recommended.
Common layout rules, such as short connection between capac-
itors and pins, ground layers etc., should be applied for optimum
board design and operation.
