Maintain a solid, low inductance
ground plane for returning signal
currents to the power supply.
Multilayer plane printed circuit
board is best for distribution of
V
CC
, returning ground currents,
forming transmission lines and
shielding. Also, it is important to
suppress noise from influencing
the fiber-optic transceiver
performance, especially the
receiver and the clock recovery
circuits. Proper power supply
filtering of V
CC
for this
transceiver is accomplished by
using the recommended, separate
filter circuits shown in Figure 4.
These filter circuits suppress V
CC
noise of 50 mV peak-to-peak or
less over a broad frequency
range. This prevents receiver
sensitivity degradation as well as
false-lock or loss-of-lock in the
clock recovery circuitry due to
V
CC
noise. It is recommended
that surface-mount components
be used. Use tantalum capacitors
for the 10 μF capacitors and
monolithic, ceramic bypass
capacitors for the 0.1 μF
capacitors. Also, it is
recommended that a surface-
mount coil inductor of 1 μH be
used. Ferrite beads can be used
to replace the coil inductors
when using quieter V
CC
supplies,
but a coil inductor is
recommended over a ferrite bead.
Coils with a low, series dc
resistance (<0.7
) and high,
Self-resonating frequency are
recommended. All power supply
components need to be placed
physically next to the V
CC
pins of
the receiver and transmitter. Use
a good, uniform ground plane
with a minimum number of holes
to provide a low-inductance
ground current return for the
power supply currents.
In addition to these
recommendations, Hewlett-
Packard’s Application
Engineering staff is available for
consulting on best layout
practices with various vendors
mux/demux, clock generator and
clock recovery circuits. HP has
participated in several reference
design studies and is prepared to
share the findings of these
studies with interested
customers. Contact your local HP
sales representative to arrange
for this service.
