Notes:
1. Circuit ground is internally isolated from chassis ground.
2. TX Fault is an open drain output, which should be pulled up with 4.7K – 10KΩ resistor on the host board. Pull up voltage between 2.0V to VccT/R+0.3V. When high, output indicates a laser fault of some kind. Low indicates normal operation. In the low state, the output will be pulled to < 0.8V. When sensing an improper power level in the laser driver, the SFP sets this signal high and turns off the laser. TX-FAULT can be reset with the TX-DISABLE line. The signal is in LVTTL level.
3. TX disable is an input that is used to shut down the transmitter optical output. It is pulled up within the module with 4.7K – 10KΩ resistor. Its states are: Low (0 – 0.8V): Transmitter on; (>0.8, < 2.0V): Undefined; High (2.0V to VccT/R+0.3V): Transmitter Disabled; Open: Transmitter Disabled. The TX-DISABLE signal is high (LVTTL logic “1”) to turn off the laser output. The laser will turn on when TX-DISABLE is low (LVTTL logic “0”).
4. Should be pulled up with 4.7K - 10KΩ on host board to a voltage between 2.0V to VccT/R+0.3V. MOD_ ABS pulls line low to indicate module is plugged in.
5. LOS (Loss of Signal) is an open collector/drain output, which should be pulled up with 4.7K – 10KΩ resistor. Pull up voltage between 2.0V to VccT/R+0.3V. When high, this output indicates the received optical power is below the worst-case receiver sensitivity (as defined by the standard in use). Low indicates normal operation. In the low state, the output will be pulled to < 0.8V.
6. The RX-LOS is high (LVTTL logic “1”) when there is no incoming light from the companion transceiver. This signal is normally used by the system for the diagnostic purpose. The signal is operated in LVTTL level.
