8. Precautions during use

(1) Maximum rating

The maximum ratings are the limit values which must not be exceeded during operation of device.

None of these rating value must not be exceeded. If the maximum rating value is exceeded, the

characteristics of devices may never be restored properly. In extreme cases, the device may be

permanently damages.

(2) Lifetime of light emitters

If an optical module is used for a long period of time, degeneration in the characteristics will mostly

be due to a lowering of the fiber output power (Pf). This is caused by the degradation of the optical

output of the LEDs used as the light source. The cause of degradation of the optical output of the

LEDs may be defects in wafer crystallization or mold resin stress. The detailed causes are, however,

not clear.

The lifetime of light emitters is greatly influenced by the operating conditions and the environment in

which it is used as well as by the lifetime characteristics unique to the device type. Thus, when a light

emitting device and its operating conditions determined, Toshiba recommend that lifetime

characteristics be checked.

Depending on the environment conditions, Toshiba recommend that maintenance such as regular

checks of the amount of optical output in accordance with the condition of operating environment.

(3) Soldering

Optical modules are comprised of internal semiconductor devices. However, in principle, optical

modules are optical components. During soldering, ensure that flux does not contact with the emitting

surface or the detecting surface. Also ensure that proper flux removal is conducted after soldering.

Some optical modules come with a protective cap. The protective cap is used to avoid malfunction

when the optical module is not in use. Note that it is not dust or waterproof.

As mentioned before, optical modules are optical components. Thus, in principle, soldering where

there may be flux residue and flux removal after soldering is not recommended. Toshiba recommend

that soldering be performed without the optical module mounted on the board. Then, after the board

has been cleaned, the optical module should be soldered on to the board manually.

If the optical module cannot be soldered manually, use non−halogen (chlorine−free) flux and make

sure, without cleaning, there is no residue such as chlorine. This is one of the ways to eliminate the

effects of flux. In such a cases, be sure to check the devices’ reliability.

(4) Vibration and shock

This module is plastic sealed and has its wire fixed by resin. This structure is relatively resistant to

vibration and shock. In actual equipment, there are sometime cases in which vibration, shock, or

stress is applied to soldered parts or connected parts, resulting in lines cut. A care must be taken in

the design of equipment which will be subject to high levels of vibration.

(5) Support pins

The optical transmission module TOTX179P has support pins in order to fix itself to the PCB

temporary. Please make the hole for these pins in the PCB under the condition described in board

layout hole pattern.

(6) Attaching the fiber optic transmitting module

Solder the fixed pins (pins 4 and 5) of the fiber optic transmitting module TOTX179P to the printed

circuit board in order to fix it to the board.

(7) Solvent

When using solvent for flux removal, do not use a high acid or high alkali solvent. Be careful not to

pour solvent in to the optical connector ports. If solvent is inadvertently poured in to them, clean it off

using cotton tips.

(8) Protective cap

When the TOTX179P is not in use, attach the protective cap.

(9) Supply voltage

Use the supply voltage within the recommended operating condition (VCC = 5 ± 0.25 V). Make sure

that supply voltage does not exceed the maximum rating value of 7 V, even for an instant.

(10) Input voltage

If a voltage exceeding the maximum rating value (VCC + 0.5 V) is applied to the transmitter input,

the internal IC may suffer damage. If there is a possibility that excessive voltage due to surges may

be added to the input terminal, insert a protective circuit.

(11) Soldering condition

Solder at 260°C or less for no more than ten seconds.

(12) Precautions when disposing of devices and packing materials.

When disposing devices and packing materials, follow the procedures stipulated by local regulations

in order to protect the environment against contamination.

Compound semiconductors such as GaAs are used as LED materials in this module. When devices are

disposed of, worker safety and protection of the environment must be taken into account.

(13) Precautions during use

Toshiba is continually working to improve the quality and the reliability of their products.

Nevertheless, semiconductor devices in general can malfunction or fail due to their inherent electrical

sensitivity and their vulnerability to physical stress. It is the responsibility of the buyer, when

utilizing Toshiba products, to observe standards of safety, and to avoid situations in which the

malfunction or failure of a Toshiba product could cause loss of human life, bodily injury or damage to

property.

When developing equipment, please ensure that Toshiba products are used within the specified

operating ranges set forth in the most recent product specifications. Also, please keep in mind the

precautions and conditions set forth in the Toshiba Semiconductor Reliability Handbook.
