QSFP56 Module Pad Layout

image2021-8-22_12-21-54.png

This AOC has CMIS 4.0 (check for update, e.g. to CMIS 5) compliant management interface and OSFP 4.1 (check for update) compliant form factor and interfaces. This implies that the control signals shown in the pad layout are implemented with the following functions:

Name

Function

Description

LPWn/PRSn

Input/output

Multi-level signal for low power control from host to module and module presence indication from module to host. This signal requires the circuit as described in the OSFP Specification [ ].

INT/RSTn

Input,/output

Multi-level signal for interrupt request from module to host and reset control from host to module. This signal requires the circuit as described in the OSFP Specification [ ].

SCL

BiDir

2-wire serial clock signal. Requires pull-up resistor to 3.3V on host.

SDA

Bidir

2-wire serial data signal. Requires pull-up resistor to 3.3V on host.

This AOC is SFF-8636 compliant. This means that the control signals shown in the pad layout support the following functions:

Name

Function

Description

ModPrsL

Output

Module Present pin, grounded inside the module. Terminated with pull-up in the host system. Asserted low when the transceiver is inserted, whereby the host detects the presence of the transceiver.

ModSelL

Input

Module Select, terminated high in the module. Only when held low by the host, the module responds to 2-wire serial communication commands. The ModSelL enables multiple modules to share a single 2-wire interface bus.

ResetL

Input

Reset, pulled high in the 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. During reset the host shall disregard all status bits until the module indicates completion of the reset interrupt by asserting IntL signal low with the Data_Not_Ready bit negated. Note that on power up (including hot insertion) the module completes the reset interrupt without requiring a reset.

LPMode

Input

Low Power Mode input, pulled up inside the module. The transceiver starts up in low power mode, i.e. <1.5 W with the two-wire interface active. The host system can read the power class declaration from the transceiver and determine if it has enough power to enable the high-speed operation/high power mode of the transceiver. This can be done by asserting LPMode low or by use of the Power_over-ride and Power_set control bits (Address A0h, byte 93 bits 0,1).

IntL

OC output

Interrupt Low, terminated high in the host system. A “Low” indicates a possible module operational fault or a status critical to the host system, e.g. temperature alarm. The host identifies the source of the interrupt using the 2-wire serial interface. The INTL pin is de-asserted “High” after completion of reset, when byte 2 bit 0 (Data Not Ready) is read with a value of ‘0’.

SCL

BiDir

2-wire serial clock signal. Requires pull-up resistor to 3.3V on host.

SDA

Bidir

2-wire serial data signal. Requires pull-up resistor to 3.3V on host.

The low-speed signals are Low Voltage TTL (LVTTL) compliant (except for SCL and SDA signals).

The AOC complies with the SFF-8665 specification and has the following key features:

Physical layer link optimization:

  • Programmable Tx input equalization

  • Programmable Rx output amplitude

  • Programmable Rx output pre-emphasis

  • Tx/Rx CDR control
    by default enabled for 100 GbE operation, disable it for 40G operation

Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM):

  • Rx receive optical power monitor for each lane

  • Tx transmit optical power monitor for each lane

  • Tx bias current monitor for each lane

  • Supply voltage monitor

  • Transceiver case temperature monitor

  • Warning and Alarm thresholds for each DDM function (not user changeable)

Other SFF-8636 functions and interrupt indications:

  • Tx & Rx LOS indication

  • Tx & Rx LOL indication

  • Tx fault indication

LOS, LOL, and Tx Fault status flags can be read via the two-wire management interface and are jointly transmitted via the IntL output pin. Relevant advertisement, threshold, and readout registers are found in the SFF-8636 MSA.
