5 V V23806-S84-Z5
3.3 V V23806-S84-Z6
Test Board for ATM, ESCON, Fibre Channe l
and Gigabit Ethern et
1x9 and 2x9 Transcei vers
Preliminary
FEATURES
Allows separate powering of receiver and transmitter
sections
Power supply is filtered separately for RX and TX side
Possible online monitoring of TX and RX current
TX can be disabled by using an assembled switch
All inputs and outputs are AC coupled for easy connec-
tion to 50 Ohm environment
All high sp eed inputs are built with high pe rformance
SMA connectors
Can be used for either 1x9 or 2x9 pin modules
OVERVIEW
This test board is designed to evaluate optical transceivers for
data rates from 100 MBd to up to 1.25 GBd. The test board can
be used to characterize th e performance of these transceivers.
All AC parame ters (eye pattern, rise and fall times, jitter etc.)
can be measured with this test board.
This user guide shows you the structure of the test board and
how to use it.
STRUCTURE
The test board is built as a 4-layer PCB (printed circuit board)
with internal VCC and VEE planes which build a high perfor-
mance capacitor for filtering the incoming VCC.
The additional filter on top of the PCB will simulate a filter that
might be used by the end user of the transceiver.
All high speed inputs and outputs are created as 50 Ohm traces
on the top of the PCB.
This test board is available for a positive power supply (VCC) in
the range of 4.7 V to 5.4 V (V23806-S84-Z5) or for the range of
3.1 V to 3.6 V (V23806-S84-Z6).

DESCRIPTION
All inputs and outputs are labeled on the board .
To use the test board for a 1x9 module, the module should be
placed in the pin row X2, see Figure 3.
The following tables define the labels and describe each func-
tion in more detail.

Label Type Description
J1 Short Re ceiver part of the modul e is on.
By connecting an ampere meter between those
pins, the RX current can be monitored.
J1 Open Receiver part of the module is off.
J2 Short Transmitter part of the module is on.
By connecting an ampere meter between those
pins, the TX current can be monitored.
J2 Open Transmi tter part of the module is off.
J3 Short The TXDIS circuit is on. By pushing the push button
the optical output of the laser will switch, either on
or off.
When using this option there should be no external
source con nected on TXDIS or short on J4. Other-
wise the on-board circuit could get damaged.
J3 Open The TXDIS circuit on th e test board is off.
Therefore the pus h button is not wo rking .
J4 Short A 50 Ohm resistor close to the TXDIS input at the
module will be connected to VEE.
This resis to r te rmin a tes an ex ternal de vice wh ich
can be connect ed to the TXDIS input.
It is not recommended to use this option if J3 is
shorted. That could damag e the on board TXDIS
circuit.
J4 Open This option should be used if the on-board TXDIS
function is used (J3 short). It is not recommended
to leave J4 open if an external gene rator is used.
That will result in reflect ions and can cause mal-
functions.
Push
but-
ton
If J3 is shorted and J4 is left open, the transmitter
can be switched off or on depending on the status
of the output signal of the TX. Pushing t he butto n
once changes the status of the TX output si gnal.
Pushing it twice = same TX output status as be-
fore.
