050-315 Product Brief

PCB Mount Transceiver

100 Mbps – 5 Gbps, MMF, 3.3V

PCB Mount Fiber Optic Transceiver, 100M-5Gbps, MMF, 3.3V

Glenair 050-315, is a ruggedized harsh environment PCB Mount Transceiver

with electrical and optical functionality equivalent to SFP transceivers but with

mechanical design that is suited to the harsh temperature and vibration environments

found in the Military, Aerospace, Railway, Oil and Gas, and Industrial applications.

The PCB mount optical transceivers also support optional Digital Monitoring Interface

(DMI) features in accordance with SFF 8472. The transceiver is comprised of a

transmitter section and a receiver section that resides on a common package and

interface with a host board through a high speed electrical connector.

The transmitter section includes the Transmitter Optical Subassembly (TOSA)

and laser driver circuitry. The TOSA, containing an 850 nm VCSEL (Vertical Cavity

Surface Emitting Laser) light source, is located at the optical interface and mates with

the GC optical connector. The TOSA is driven by a laser driver, which converts

differential logic signals into an analog laser diode drive current. This laser driver circuit

regulates the optical power at a constant level provided the data pattern is DC

balanced (for example 8B10B encoding).

The receiver section includes the Receiver Optical Subassembly (ROSA) and

amplification/quantization circuitry. The ROSA, containing a PIN photodiode and trans-

impedance preamplifier, is located at the optical interface and mates with the GC

optical connector. The ROSA is mated to a limiting amplifier IC that provides post-

amplification and quantization. Also included is a Loss Of Signal (LOS) detection

circuit.
