SFP Management IC with Internal Calibration
General Description
The MIC3001 enables the implementation of sophisticated,
hot-pluggable fiber optic transceivers with intelligent laser
control and an internally calibrated Digital Diagnostic Moni-
toring Interface per SFF-8472. It essentially integrates all
non-datapath functions of an SFP transceiver into a tiny
4mm × 4mm MLF™ package. It also works well as a
microcontroller peripheral in transponders or 10Gbps trans-
ceivers.
A highly configurable automatic power control (APC) circuit
controls laser bias. Bias and modulation are temperature
compensated using dual DACs, an on-chip temperature
sensor, and NVRAM look-up tables. A programmable inter-
nal feedback resistor provides unprecedented dynamic range
for APC. Controlled laser turn-on facilitates hot-plugging.
An analog-to-digital converter converts the measured tem-
perature, voltage, bias current, transmit power, and received
power from analog to digital. An EEPOT provides frontend
adjustment of RX power. Each parameter is compared against
user-programmed warning and alarm thresholds. Analog
comparators and DACs provide high-speed monitoring of
received power and critical laser operating parameters. Data
can be reported as either internally calibrated or externally
calibrated.
An interrupt output, power-on hour meter, and data-ready bits
add user friendliness beyond SFF-8472. The interrupt output
and data-ready bits reduce overhead in the host system. The
power-on hour meter logs operating hours using an internal
real-time clock and stores the result in NVRAM.
Communication with the MIC3001 is via an industry standard
2-wire serial interface. Nonvolatile memory is provided for
serial ID, configuration, and separate OEM and user
scratchpad spaces. Two-level password protection guards
against data corruption.
