The transceiver consists of two sections: The transmitter section uses a multiple quantum well 1330 nm DFB laser and is a class 1 laser compliant according to International Safety Standard IEC 60825. The receiver section uses an integrated 1270 nm detector preamplifier (IDP) mounted in an optical header and a limiting post-amplifier IC. The module is with the XFP 30-pin connector to allow hot plug capability. Integrated Tx and Rx signal conditioners provide high jitter-tolerance for full XFI compliance and no external reference clock required. The internally ac coupled high speed serial I/O simplifies interfacing to external circuitry. Only single 3.3V power supply is needed. The optical output can be disabled by LVTTL logic high-level input of TX_DIS. Loss of signal (RX_LOS) output is provided to indicate the loss of an input optical signal of receiver.
