Regulatory Compliance
The Regulatory Compliance for transceiver
performance is shown in Table 1. The overall
equipment design will determine the certification
level. The transceiver performance is offered as
a figure of merit to assist the designer in
considering their use in equipment designs.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
There are two design cases in which immunity
to ESD damage is important.
The
first
case
is
during
handling
of
the
transceiver prior to mounting it on the circuit
board. It is important to use normal ESD
handling precautions for ESD sensitive devices.
These precautions include using grounded wrist
straps, work benches, and floor mats in ESD
controlled areas.
The second case to consider is static discharges
to the exterior of the equipment chassis containing
the transceiver parts. To the extent that the LC
connector receptacle is exposed to the outside
of the equipment chassis it may be subject to
whatever system-level ESD test criteria that the
equipment is intended to meet.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
Most equipment designs utilizing these high-
speed transceivers from Avago Technologies will
be required to meet FCC regulations in the
United States, CENELEC EN55022 (CISPR 22)
in Europe and VCCI in Japan. Refer to EMI
section (page 9) for more details.
Immunity
Transceivers will be subject to radio-frequency
electromagnetic fields following the IEC 61000-
4-3 test method.
Eye Safety
These laser-based transceivers are classified as
AEL Class I (U.S. 21 CFR(J) and AEL Class 1
per EN 60825-1 (+A11). They are eye safe
when used within the data sheet limits per
CDRH. They are also eye safe under normal
operating conditions and under all reasonably
foreseeable single fault conditions per EN60825-
1. Avago Technologies has tested the transceiver
design for compliance with the requirements
listed below under normal operating conditions
and
under
single
fault
conditions
where
applicable.
TUV
Rheinland
has
granted
certification to these transceivers for laser eye
safety and use in EN 60825-2 applications.
Their performance enables the transceivers to
be used without concern for eye safety up to
3.5 V transmitter VCC.
