Benefits
Upgrade path:
-- OEMs can offer longer-reach and higher-speed
solutions, as the end user needs upgrades.
Applications
IEEE
802.3z 1000BASESX to 550 m
IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-LX to 80 km
Description
The NLP12 is a line of high-speed, cost effective, small
form-factor pluggable (SFP) optical transceivers
intended for 1.25 Gb/s Gigabit Ethernet applications
from 550 m to 80 km. The transceivers feature TriQuint
Optoelectronics' optics and are packaged in a narrow-
width metal housing with an LC duplex receptacle. The
package outline and pinout conform to the multisource
SFP transceiver agreement.
The transmitter features ac-coupled differential data
inputs, and LVTTL logic level disable input and fault
indicator output. The receiver features differential ac-
coupled data outputs and an LVTTL logic level loss-of-
signal output. Diagnostic monitoring is implemented
per the SFF committee document SFF-8472.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are abso-
lute stress ratings only. Functional operation of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in excess
of those given in the operations sections of the data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for extended
periods can adversely affect device reliability.
Recommended Operating Conditions
Transceiver Timing Characteristics
1. Condition: from power on or negation of Tx_Fault using Tx_Disable.
2. Time from rising edge of Tx_Disable to when the optical output falls below 10% of nominal.
3. Time from falling edge of Tx_Disable to when the modulated optical output rises above 90% of nominal.
4. Time from fault to Tx_Fault on.
5. Time Tx_Disable must be held high to reset Tx_Fault.
6. Time from LOS state to Rx LOS assert.
7. Time from non-LOS state to Rx LOS deassert.
