Previous Team’s Progress

Design Team Objectives
– Separation of optical transceiver from Intel card
– Redesign and fabrication of new board containing
optical functionality
– Reintegration of board with Intel setup
– Verification to meet optical ethernet specifications
– Use of evaluation kits in further design efforts

Pitfalls and Resolutions
Transmission line
noise
Power supply
interference
Different current
requirements for
multiple components

• Avoided right angles in printed
circuitry
• Length considerations (1/101/4 of a wavelength)
• Differential signaling
• Load balancing (50-Ohm)
• Filtering required to isolate
current sources
• Multiple power supplies
• Decoupling capacitors

Maxim Evaluation Kits

Circuit Modifications to Minimize Current Loss
– Replacing series resistors and adding a 67-Ohm resistor in
parallel

MAX3266 Board Functionality

Photodiode emulation

Transimpedance Amplifier (TIA) on chip
– inexpensively mimic the output of a photodetector
for chip feature testing
–
–
–
–
converts current to voltage
converts single-ended input to differential output
1 mA p-p input = 250 mV p-p output
10 micro-A p-p input = 2.5 mV p-p output

MAX3264 Board Functionality

Proper termination impedance and series
capacitors to maintain voltage regularity
 Buffer on chip
– maintains integrity of output from TIA

Limiting Amplifier on chip

RMS Power Detection
– provides 55 dB gain with 1.2 Volt max
– low jitter enables higher speeds

Testing and Verification

BERT
– Tektronix GTS 1250 (1250 Mb/s)
– desired BER = 10-12 or 1 error every terabit
• Example - For a 4 MB MP3, that would be one bit error
for every 31,000 songs transferred

Tektronix CSA 7xxx Scope
– accurately measures and records Gb eye
diagrams
– uses specially designed Communications Signal
Analyzer software

 Interface with other design groups (OE,
TX)
 Interference-free implementation of a
single power source to drive all active
components

Conclusions

Next Steps
– Get previous team’s testbed up and
functional
– Connect and test Maxim boards
– Understand development of a receiver
module and implement it using our own
design
