QSFP56 Module Pad Layout
Digital Diagnostics and Monitoring
The DDM functions are implemented according to SFF-8636 for reading the following key parameters with associated warning and alarm thresholds:
-
Temperature with warning/alarm
-
Supply voltage with warning/alarm
-
Laser bias current with warning/alarm
-
Transmitted optical power with warning/alarm
-
Received optical power with warning/alarm
The transceiver complies with the SFF 8665 specification and has the following key features:
-
Physical layer link optimization:Programmable Rx output amplitudeProgrammable Rx output pre-emphasis
-
Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM):Rx receive optical power monitorTx transmit optical power monitorTx bias current monitorSupply voltage monitorTransceiver case temperature monitor
-
Other SFF-8636 functions and interrupt indications:Tx & Rx LOS indicationTx & Rx LOL indication
