transmitters, driven by differences in
network requirements and data rates.
Parameters like output voltage and
rise/fall times are common to nearly
all standards and are mandatory to
verify that a transmitter complies with
a given standard. Other parameters are
found only in a few standards, and may
be mandatory or optional (informative).
This application note provides deeper
insights into the parameters and how
to effectively and quickly measure each
of the common parameters, by both
manual control and automatic control.

Typical Devices and Topologies


Several new semiconductor integrated
circuits on the market today include
input-output (I/O) ports that operate
at rates from a few to 28 Gb/s, with
emerging standards pushing data rates
even higher. The IC's occupy less board
space and often use lower power for
new designs. Other designs utilize
lower cost components and generate
high bit rate signals through the use of
discrete circuits such as multiplexers.
System block diagrams then depend
                                           Figure 1a. Example block diagram of high data rate transmitters for 4 x 25 Gb/s
on having full rate data streams only
over very short distances, or just prior
to entering the optical portion of the
network such as through modulators.

Many developers use application
specific integrated circuits (ASIC's)
within their designs, which provide
greater flexibility when considering
design topologies and troubleshooting.
A common use of ASIC's is for
multiplexers, which combine multiple       Figure 1b. Example block diagram of high data rate transmitters for 100 Gb/s
data streams into fewer data streams,
or fewer into multiple data streams;
these topologies are often called
"gearboxes". One example is to design
the source data streams at 10 Gb/s,
then multiplex ten data streams to four
25 Gb/s streams as shown in Figure
1. These four streams can be used to
directly modulate four wavelengths on
the fiber or be further multiplexed into
one stream at 100 Gb/s as conceived
in emerging architectures.

With increasingly more complex
systems being developed, designers
need to characterize sub-assemblies
to verify proper operation before use
in the full system. In order to validate
a reference design, and to facilitate
accurate waveform performance,
designers make use of test fixtures
such as shown in Figure 2 to connect       Figure 2. Typical test fixtures used to characterize performance of integrated circuit I/O
to the device under test (DUT) through
coaxial connectors.
