Implement internal calibration using DS1858-Implementing In

IntroducTIonSome standards, such as the SFF-8472, require that fiber opTIc signals be monitored. Two means of calibraTIon are available to the designer. PrecalibraTIon, referred to by the SFF-8472 Standard as internal calibration, calls for the conditioning of the analog signals to comply with a mandated scale. Postcalibration, referred to by the SFF-8472 Standard as external calibration, is a computational technique conditioning the digital output to comply with a mandated scale. Application Note 174 explains the two types of calibration. This application note is an example of how to provide precalibration when using the DS1858 given a fixed design, and meet SFF-8472 resolution and accuracy goals. For designers who intend their module to serve in a wide range of applications, a more flexible solution with built-in internal calibration is better suited. Scaling the DS1858The SFF-8472 Standard specifies scaling for the five channels in the Internal Calibration section. In the DS1858, te mperature and VCC are factory calibrated to comply with the respective scales. For the remaining three channels, referred to in the standard as TX Bias, TX Power, and RX Power, the three inputs on the DS1858 are MON1, MON2, MON3. All three MON channels are identical. Therefore, the assignment is arbitrary. All three channels are factory calibrated to read FFFF at 2.5V. We will show how to condition the signals coming into MON1 and MON2 to provide a scale that is compliant with the SFF-8472 . Example Using the DS1858 and MAX3996 Figure 1 shows the use of a laser driver, the MAX3996, along with the DS1858 in a design that satisfies internal calibration requirements of SFF-8472. Supply bypassing and pins were left out for simplicity.


Figure 1.

TX Power originates at MAX3996 pin MD as a voltage representative of the back monitor diode's current. This voltage is 1.12V (± 8%) and is independent of TX Power setting (back monitor diode current setting). R1 ​​and R2 are chosen by design so that the voltage generated into the DS1858 complies with the TX Power dBm scale. For example, 0dBm is expected to generate a digital output of 2710h, according to SFF-8472. The voltage at DS1858 (9) that would generate 2710h is 0.381V (since 2.5V generates FFFFh). This sets the nominal values ​​of R2 (62k) and R1 (100k). The standard requires a 3dB accuracy. The errors are less than 13.5% or about 0.5dB (8% for the voltage at MD , and 0.5% FS or 3.5% for the DS1858, and 2% for the resistors).

RX Power is derived from average received power. The differential voltage is a measure of the detector current. It is converted to a single-ended voltage. For example, -10dBm is expected to generate a digital output of 3E8h, according to SFF-8472 . The voltage at DS1858 (10) that would generate 3E8h is 0.038V (since 2.5V generates FFFFh). If the average detector current into R4 is 100µA nominal then 100mV DC will be sensed by the instrumentation amp. The divider network to convert 100mV into 38mV consists of R5 = 10k and R6 = 6.2k. The standard requires a 3dB accuracy. The errors, excluding photodetector conversion, are less than 36% or 2dB (0.5% FS or 33% for the DS1858, and 3% for resistors and amplifier offset / bias errors). It is noteworthy that, in order to avoid significant common-mode errors, the 10k resistors have to be 0.1% with low temp co (50PPM / ° C or less). This leaves room in the error budget for 1dB (+ 25%, -21%) to cover photodetector variation. If this is not sufficient f or the particular photodetector used then a pot should be substituted for R4.

TX Bias originates within the MAX3996 (pin MON2) as a voltage proportional to bias current. For example, this voltage at 60mA is .66 V (± 15%). R3 and R7 are chosen by design so that the voltage generated into the DS1858 complies with the bias current scale. For example, 60mA of bias current is expected to generate a digital output of 7530h, according to SFF-8472. The voltage at DS1858 (11) that would generate 7530h is 1.14 (since 2.5V generates FFFFh) . This sets the nominal values ​​of R3 (10k) and R7 (7.15k). However because the standard requires a better than 10% accuracy, a variable resistor or potentiometer is suggested for R3, such as the DS1804. Concluding RemarksThe preceding work shows that, for a given design, a discrete implementation of the internal calibration requirement is reasonably attainable within the allowable error budget of the SFF-8472 standard. Part-to-part variation was taken into account. By preprocessing the signal going into the DS1858 no loss of resolution oc curs.

Other implementations using other laser drivers, will differ in detail only but will achieve similar results. Typically, two or three op amps and a small number of discrete components are adequate to achieve similar results.

Fiber Optic Adapter

Fiber optic adapter are used in fiber optic connection, the typical use is to provide a cable to cable fiber connection. People sometimes also name them to be mating sleeves and hybrid adaptors, mating sleeves means this fiber optic adapter is used to connect the same type fiber optic connectors, while hybrid adaptors are the fiber optic adaptor types used to connect different kinds of fiber optic connectors. YLTelecom`s fiber adapter provide reliable solution for fiber connections, single mode fiber optic adaptors and multimode fiber optic adaptors available on request. We adopt high quality raw materials and make these fiber optic adapters strictly according to international standard, this makes our fiber optic adaptors with high performance.
Fiber Optic Adapters FC, SC, ST, LC, MT-RJ, MU, E2000, FC/APC, SC/APC, LC/APC, E2000/APC, Simplex, Duplex, Quad, mating sleeves, hybrid fiber optic adapters, Single mode fiber optic adapters, multimode fiber optic adapters are all available.

Fiber optic adapters (also called couplers) are designed to connect two fiber optic cables together. They come in versions to connect single fibers together (simplex), two fibers together (duplex), or sometimes four fibers together (quad).
Adapters are designed for multimode or singlemode cables. The singlemode adapters offer more precise alignment of the tips of the connectors (ferrules). It is ok to use singlemode adapters to connect multimode cables, but you should not use multimode adapters to connect singlemode cables. This can cause misalignment of the small singlemode fibers and loss of signal strength (attenuation).

When connecting two multimode fibers, you should always make sure they are the same core diameter (50/125 or 62.5/125). A mismatch here will cause attenuation in one direction (where the larger fiber is transmitting light into the smaller fiber).

Fiber optic adapters are typically connecting cables with similiar connectors (SC to SC, LC to LC, etc.). Some adapters, called "hybrid", accept different types of connectors (ST to SC, LC to SC, etc.). When the connectors have differing ferrule sizes (1.25mm to 2.5mm), as found in LC to SC adapters, the adapters are significantly more expensive because of a more complicated design/manufacturing process.
