QSFP28 Optical Transceiver — Up to 2 km reach for 100G FEC-enabled systems
www.lumentum.com 2
The Lumentum 100G QSFP28 CWDM4 Optical Transceiver is a full duplex, photonic-
integrated optic transceiver that provides a high-speed link at aggregated data rate of
103.13 Gbps over 2 km of single-mode ber with a maximum link budget of 8 dB when
maximum transmitter and dispersion penalty (TDP) of 3 dB is presented. Operation at
103.125 Gbps requires the host system to enable Reed-Solomon Forward Error Correction
(RS-FEC) compliant with IEEE Std 802.3bj clause 91. For CWDM4 applications the RS-FEC
sublayer shall implement RS(528,514). This ensures post FEC bit error ratio (BER) of better
than 1x10-12with pre-FEC optical link BER of 5x10-5.
The Lumentum 100G QSFP28 CWDM4 Optical Transceiver
integrates transmit and receive path in one module. On the
transmit side, four lanes of serial data are recovered by a
programmable continuous time linear equalizer (CTLE), retimed
and passed to four laser drivers, which control four lasers with
center wavelengths of 1271 nm, 1291 nm, 1311 nm and 1331
nm. The optical signals are then multiplexed into a single-mode
ber through an industry standard LC connector. On the receive
side, four lanes of optical data streams are optically de-
multiplexed by an integrated optical demultiplexer. Each data
stream is recovered by a PIN photodetector transimpedance
amplier, retimed and passed to a CAUI-4 compliant output
driver.
This module features a hot-pluggable electrical interface, low
power consumption and 2-wire I2C management interface.

Transmitter
The transmitter path converts four lanes of serial NRZ electrical
data from line rate of 25.78 Gbps to a standard compliant optical
signal. Each signal path, accepts a 100  differential 100 mV
peak-to-peak to 900 mV peak-to-peak electrical signal on TDxn
and TDxp pins. Inside the module, each differential pair of electric
signals is input to an equalizer and then to a CDR (clock- data
recovery) chip. The recovered and retimed signals are then
passed to a laser driver which transforms the small swing voltage
to an output modulation that drives an un-cooled EML laser. The
laser drivers control four EMLs with center wavelengths of 1271
nm, 1291 nm, 1311 nm and 1331 nm, respectively. The optical
signals from the four lasers are optically multiplexed and coupled
to single-mode optical ber through an industry standard LC
optical connector. The optical signals are engineered to meet the
CWDM4 MSA specications.
Receiver
The receiver takes incoming combined four lanes of DC balanced
CWDM NRZ optical data from line rate of 25.78 Gbps through an
industry standard LC optical connector. The four incoming
wavelengths are separated by an optical demultiplexer into four
separated channels. Each output is coupled to a PIN
photodetector. The electrical currents from each PIN
photodetector are converted to a voltage in a high-gain
transimpedance amplier. The electrical output is recovered and
retimed by the CDR chip. The four lanes of reshaped electrical
signals are output on the RDxp and RDxn pins as a 100 
differential CAUI-4 chip-to-module signals.
Low-Speed Signaling
The Lumentum 100G QSFP28 CWDM4 Optical Transceiver has
several low-speed interface connections including a 2-wire serial
interface (SCL and SDA). These connections include; Low Power
Mode (LPMode), Module Select (ModSelL), Interrupt (IntL), Module
Present (ModPrsL) and Reset (ResetL) as shown in Figure 1.
ModSelL: The ModSelL is an input pin. When held low by the
host, the module responds to 2-wire serial communication
commands. The ModSelL allows the use of multiple QSFP28
modules on a single 2-wire interface bus. When the ModSelL is
“High”, the module does not respond to or acknowledge any
2-wire interface communication from the host.
In order to avoid conflicts, the host system shall not attempt
2-wire interface communications within the ModSelL de-assert
time after any QSFP28 module is deselected. Similarly the host
must wait for at least the ModSelL assert period of time before
communicating with a newly selected module. The assertion and
de-assertion periods of different modules may overlap as long as
the above timing requirements are met.
ResetL: The ResetL pin is pulled up to Vcc inside the QSFP28
module. A low level on the ResetL pin for longer than the
minimum pulse length (t_Reset_init) initiates a complete module
reset, returning all user module settings to their default state.
Module Reset Assert Time (t_init) starts upon the rising edge
after the low level on the ResetL pin is released. During the
execution of a reset (t_init) the host shall disregard all status bits
until the module indicates a completion of the reset interrupt. The
module indicates this by posting an IntL signal with the Data_
Not_Ready bit negated. Note that on power up (including hot
insertion) the module will post this completion of reset interrupt
without requiring a reset.
LPMode: : The LPMode pin is pulled up to Vcc inside the QSFP28
module. This function is affected by the LPMode pin and the
combination of the Power_over-ride and Power_set software
control bits (Address A0h, byte 93, bits 0,1).
The module has two modes: a low power mode and a high power
mode. The high power mode operates in one of the four power
classes.
QSFP28 Optical Transceiver — Up to 2 km reach for 100G FEC-enabled systems
www.lumentum.com 4
When the module is in a low power mode it has a maximum power
consumption of 1.5 W. This protects hosts that are not capable of
cooling higher power modules, should such modules be accidentally
inserted.
The module’s 2-wire serial interface and all laser safety functions are
fully operational in this low power mode. The module still supports
the completion of reset interrupt in this low power mode.
The Extended Identifier bits (Page 00h, byte 129 bits 6-7) indicate
that our module has power consumption greater than 1.5 W. When
the module is in low power mode, the module will reduce its power
consumption to less than 1.5 W while still maintaining the
functionality above. However, the Tx or Rx may not be operational in
this state.
The module will be in low power mode if the LPMode pin is in the
high state, or if the Power_over-ride bit is in the high state and the
Power_set bit is also high. The module will be in high power mode if
the LPMode pin is in the low state, or the Power_over- ride bit is high
and the Power_Set bit is low. Note that the default state for the
Power_over-ride bit is low.
A truth table for the relevant configurations of the LPMode and the
Power_over-ride and Power_set are shown in Table 1.
Table 1 Power Mode Truth Table
LPMode Power Over-ride Bit Power_set Bit Module Power
Allowed
1 0 X Low power
0 0 X High power
X 1 1 Low power
X 1 0 High power
At power up, the Power_over-ride and Power_set bits are set to 0.
ModPrsL: ModPrsL is pulled up to Vcc_Host on the host board and
grounded in the module. The ModPrsL is “Low” when the module
is inserted and “High” when the module is physically absent from
the host connector.
IntL: IntL is an output pin. “Low” indicates a possible module
operational fault or a status critical to the host system. The host
identies the source of the interrupt using the 2-wire serial
interface. The IntL pin is an open collector output and must be
pulled to host supply voltage on the host board
Application Schematics
An example application schematic (reference SFF 8679) showing
connections from a host IC and host power supply to the Lumentum
100G QSFP28 CWDM4 optical transceiver is shown in Figure 2.
QSFP28 CWDM4 modules are hot pluggable and active connections
are powered by individual power connection at 3.3 V nominal
voltage. Multiple modules can share a single 3.3 V power supply with
individual filtering. To limit wide band noise power, the host system
and module shall each meet a maximum of 2% peak-to-peak noise
when measured with a 1 MHz low pass filter. In addition, the host
system and the module shall each meet a maximum of 3% peak-to-
peak noise when measured with a filter from 1 MHz - 10 MHz.
A module will meet all electrical requirements and remain fully
operational in the presence of noise on the 3.3 V power supply.
Power supply filtering components should be placed as close to the
Vcc pins of the host connector as possible for optimal performance.
Note: Decoupling Capacitor values vary depending on the
application.

2.9 Electrical Input and Output Squelch Behavior
The Lumentum 100G QSFP28 Optical Transceiver is compliant to the Tx and Rx squelch behavior described in SFF-8636 section 6.6.2
and will be indicated in Page 00h, Byte 194, bit 0:3.
Rx(n)(p/n) are QSFP28 module receiver data outputs. Output squelch for loss of optical input signal, hereafter Rx Squelch, is supported
by the Lumentum QSFP28 transceiver. In the event of the optical signal on any channel becoming equal to or less than the level
required to assert LOS, then the receiver data output for that channel shall be squelched or disabled. In the squelched or disabled state
output impedance levels are maintained while the differential voltage swing shall be less than 50 mVpp.
In normal operation the default case has Rx Squelch active. Rx Squelch can be deactivated using Rx Squelch Disable through the 2-wire
serial interface. For the Lumentum 100G QSFP28 Optical Transceiver, squelch and output disable is controlled for each channel using
bytes 240 and 241 of page 03h. Writing a '1' in the Squelch Disable register (byte 240, page 03h) disables the squelch for the
associated channel. Writing a '1' in the Output Disable register (byte 241, page 03h) squelches the output of the associated channel.
When a '1' is written in both registers for a channel, the associated output is disabled.
The Lumentum 100G QSFP28 Optical Transceiver will disable Tx Squelch Function as default. Tx(n)(p/n) are QSFP28 module transmitter
data inputs and Tx Squelch is implemented to reduce OMA only (Page 00h, Byte 195, bit 2=0b). For details regarding Tx Squelch
behaviors, please contact Lumentum to learn more.
2.10 Module CTLE Behavior
The Lumentum 100G QSFP28 Optical Transceiver supports manual (provisional) equalization with non-readable CTLE gain. Please
contact Lumentum for details if automatic (adaptive) equalization is preferred.
2.11 Regulatory Compliance
The transceiver is RoHS 6/6 compliant and complies with international EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) and product safety
regulations and standards.

3.1 Package and Handling Instructions
Connector Covers
The Lumentum 100G QSFP28 Optical Transceiver is supplied with
an LC duplex receptacle. The connector plug supplied protects the
connector during standard manufacturing processes and handling
by preventing contamination from dust, aqueous solutions, body
oils, or airborne particles.
Note: It is recommended that the connector plug remain on
whenever the transceiver optical ber connector is not inserted.
Recommended Cleaning and De-Greasing Chemicals
Lumentum recommends the use of methyl, isopropyl and isobutyl
alcohols for cleaning.
Do not use halogenated hydrocarbons (e.g. trichloroethane,
ketones such as acetone, chloroform, ethyl acetate, MEK,
methylene chloride, methylene dichloride, phenol,
N-methylpyrolldone).
This product is not designed for aqueous wash.
Housing
The Lumentum QSFP28 Optical Transceiver housing is made from
zinc.
3.2 Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Handling
Normal ESD precautions are required during the handling of this
module. This transceiver is shipped in ESD protective packaging.
It should be removed from the packaging and otherwise handled
only in an ESD protected environment utilizing standard
grounded benches, oor mats, and wrist straps.
Test and Operation
In most applications, the optical connector will protrude through
the system chassis and be subjected to the same ESD
environment as the system. Once properly installed in the
system, this transceiver should meet and exceed common ESD
testing practices and fulll system ESD requirements.
Typical of optical transceivers, this module’s receiver contains a
highly sensitive optical detector and amplier which may
become temporarily saturated during an ESD strike. This could
result in a short burst of bit errors. Such an event might require
that the application re-acquire synchronization at the higher
layers (e.g. Serializer / Deserializer chip).
3.3 Laser Safety
The transceiver is certied as a Class 1 laser product per
international standard IEC 60825-1:2014 3rd edition and is
considered non-hazardous when operated within the limits of
this specication. This device complies with 21 CFR 1040.10
except for deviations pursuant to Laser Notice No. 50.
Caution
Operating this product in a manner inconsistent with intended
usage and specications may result in hazardous radiation
exposure.
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures
other than these specied in this product datasheet may result
in hazardous radiation exposure.
Tampering with this laser product or operating this product
outside the limits of this specication may be considered an ‘act
of manufacturing’ and may require recertication of the
modied product.
Viewing the laser output with certain optical instruments (e.g.,
eye loupes, magniers, microscopes) within a distance of 100mm
may pose an eye hazard.
