The Fiber Interface
The fiber interface consists of an LVPECL transmit and receive pair to an external fiber-optic
transceiver. Both 3.3 V fiber-optic transceivers and 5 V fiber-optic transceivers can be used with
the LXT971A.
The following should occur in 3.3 V fiber transceiver applications as shown in
Refer to the fiber transceiver manufacturer’s recommendations for termination circuitry.

The following occurs in 5 V fiber transceiver applications as shown in
The signal detect pin on a 5 V fiber transceiver interface should use the logic translator circuitry as

The transmit pair should be DC-coupled with the 50 :/16 : pull-up combination
The receive pair should be DC-coupled with an emitter current path for the fiber transceiver
The signal detect pin should be DC-coupled with an emitter current path for the fiber
transceiver
The transmit pair should be AC-coupled and re-biased to 5 V PECL input levels
The receive pair should be AC-coupled with an emitter current path for the fiber transceiver
and re-biased to 3.3 V LVPECL input levels.
