2. SFF transceivers may be water washed with the optical port plug in position. However, the process
must be followed by a baking step at 80°C for one hour, to ensure the drying of any water which may
be trapped inside then shells of the modules.

VII. Regulatory Compliance

Finisar transceivers are Class 1 Laser Products and comply with US FDA regulations.
These products are certified by TÜV and CSA to meet the Class 1 eye safety
requirements of EN (IEC) 60825 and the electrical safety requirements of
EN (IEC) 60950. Copies of certificates are available at Finisar Corporation upon request.

VIII. Digital Diagnostic Functions

Finisar FTLF8524E2xNy 2x7 SFF transceivers support a 2-wire serial communication

protocol. This interface is identical to the 2-wire serial interface defined in the SFP
MSA4, however in this case it is implemented on the 2x7 SFF form factor.

The standard SFP serial ID provides access to identification information that describes
the transceiver’s capabilities, standard interfaces, manufacturer, and other information.

Additionally, an enhanced digital diagnostic monitoring interface is defined, which

allows real-time access to device operating parameters such as transceiver temperature,
laser bias current, transmitted optical power, received optical power and transceiver
supply voltage. It also defines a sophisticated system of alarm and warning flags, which
alerts end-users when particular operating parameters are outside of a factory set normal
range.

In order to access the identification information, the 2x7 SFF transceivers have a 256-
byte memory map in E2PROM that is accessible over a 2-wire serial interface at the 8 bit
address 1010000X (A0h). The digital diagnostic monitoring interface makes use of the 8
bit address 1010001X (A2h), so the originally defined serial ID memory map remains
unchanged. The interface is identical to, and is thus fully backward compatible with both
the GBIC Specification and the SFP Multi Source Agreement. Additional information,
including details of the electronic interface, is described in Finisar Application Note AN-
2030: “Digital Diagnostics Monitoring Interface for SFP Optical Transceivers”.

The operating and diagnostics information is monitored and reported by a Digital

Diagnostics Transceiver Controller (DDTC) inside the transceiver, which is accessed
through a 2-wire serial interface. When the serial protocol is activated, the serial clock
signal (SCL, Mod Def 1) is generated by the host. The positive edge clocks data into the
2x7 SFF transceiver into those segments of the E2PROM that are not write-protected.
The negative edge clocks data from the 2x7 SFF transceiver. The serial data signal
(SDA, Mod Def 2) is bi-directional for serial data transfer. The host uses SDA in
conjunction with SCL to mark the start and end of serial protocol activation. The
memories are organized as a series of 8-bit data words that can be addressed individually
or sequentially.

For more information, please see the SFP MSA documentation4,5 and Finisar Application
Note AN-2030.

One difference in the implementation of digital diagnostics in the SFF 2x7 form factor
from the SFP MSA documentation is the readout of Bit 1, Byte 110 at Address A2h
(called “Digital State of the LOS output pin” in the SFP documentation). In the SFF 2x7,
the output of this bit is inverted to indicate Signal Detect and match the output of the
Signal Detect pin on the SFF part.

Digital diagnostics for the FTLF8524E2xNy can be used in host systems that require
either internally or externally calibrated digital diagnostics.
