Signal Detect
The Signal Detect circuit provides a de-asserted out-
put signal when the optical link is broken (or when the
remote transmitter is OFF). The Signal Detect thresh-
old is set to transition from a high to low state be-
tween the minimum receiver input optical power and
-45 dBm avg. input optical power indicating a defi-
nite optical fault (e.g. unplugged connector for the
receiver or transmitter, broken fiber, or failed far-end
transmitter or data source). The Signal Detect does
not detect receiver data error or error-rate. Data errors
can be determined by signal processing offered by
upstream PHY ICs.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
One of a circuit board designer’s foremost concerns
is the control of electromagnetic emissions from
electronic equipment. Success in controlling gener-
ated Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) enables the
designer to pass a governmental agency’s EMI regula-
tory standard and more importantly, it reduces the
possibility of interference to neighboring equipment.
Avago Technologies has designed the HFCT-5963TL/
TG/NL/NG/ATL/ATG to provide excellent EMI perfor-

mance. The EMI performance of a chassis is dependent
on physical design and features which help improve
EMI suppression. Aavago Technologies encourages
using standard RF suppression practices and avoiding
poorly EMI-sealed enclosures.
Avago Technologies’ OC-3 LC transceivers (HFCT-
5963TL/TG/NL/NG/ATL/ATG) have nose shields which
provide a convenient chassis connection to the nose
of the transceiver. This nose shield improves system
EMI performance by effectively closing off the LC aper-
ture. Localized shielding is also improved by tying the
four metal housing package grounding tabs to signal
ground on the PCB. Though not obvious by inspec-
tion, the nose shield and metal housing are electrically
separated for customers who do not wish to directly
tie chassis and signal grounds together. The recom-
mended transceiver position, PCB layout and panel
opening for these devices are the same, making them
mechanically drop-in compatible. Figure 8 shows the
recommended positioning of the transceivers with re-
spect to the PCB and faceplate.
