050-324 Product Brief

PCB Mount Transceiver for Single Mode Fiber

100 Mbps – 2.5 Gbps, 3.3V

PCB Mount Fiber Optic Transceiver, 100M-2.5Gbps, SMF, 3.3V

Glenair 050-324, 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 DFB (Distributed Feedback) 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.
