Overview
MULTIGIG Fiber Optic Transceiver (TRX) PLATFORM – CBOT
TE Connectivity’s (TE) MULTIGIG TRX fiber optic mid-board transceiver is a modular platform of up to 12 Chiclet-based Optical Transceivers (CBOT) transceivers capable of transmitting and receiving up to 10 Gbps each. The electrical interface is provided through TE’s MULTIGIG RT2 press fit pin PCB interface. Each duplex pigtailed transceiver
occupies one position in the press fit housing and can be individually removed for replacement in case of damaged cables, without having to remove and replace the entire module. Alternatively customers can install larger housings and populate empty positions for future expansions or upgrades.
A wide range of TE optical termini are available for the OM3 & OM4 based fiber pigtails.
Individual duplex blades can be a range of functional combinations, Dual Tx, Dual Rx, TRx, and, on the simplex option, a Tx or Rx. These can be combined in varying counts in an individual full height and half height housing, respectively. Single mode versions are planned in the future.
The high-speed inputs are DC-coupled to a floating input termination. The laser driver converts the signal to the VCSEL (Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser) drive current. The very efficient optical coupling offered by the LEP technology enhances the low power consumption of each transceiver blade. On the Rx side, the incoming optical signal is converted to a current by the PIN diode. The transimpedance amplifier converts the current to a voltage which is then limited by an amplifier. The output stage is current-mode-logic (CML) and provides 50 ohm back-terminations
