Gigabit Ethernet PMD ECE135 Group 2 – Presentation 2 Andrew Meyerson February 3, 2005
Updated Gantt chart Made initial assignment of group responsibilities Reviewed IEEE 802.3z Standard regarding the PMD module Started researching VCSELs Test eval board Preliminary optical link budget Select VCSELs and PDs/ROSAs Complete optical link budget Build practice board Revise Gantt chart Order parts? Gigabit Ethernet:Progress Summary Completed Tasks Next Week’s Tasks
Group Responsibilities • Andrew Meyerson – Administration, ordering, soldering • Clifton Kerr – Layout, design, testing • Vinh Nguyen – Webpage, report writing • Bryan Justice – Optical link budget, design, testing, report writing
IEEE 802.3z PMD Initial Research • We will be building a Physical Medium Dependent (PMD) sublayer board • PMD should conform to the IEEE 802.3z specifications for type 1000BASE-SX (Short Wavelength Laser)
802.3z Standard • PMD block diagram as found in the 802.3z standard
802.3z Cont. • Transmit characteristics (from 802.3z standard)
802.3z Cont. • Receive characteristics (from 802.3z Standard)
802.3z Cont. • The standard also defines a worst case link power budget and penalties • This will probably be needed for determining the optical link budget
802.3z Cont. • The standard also specifies how to test the PMD to ensure compliance • For example, the extinction ratio must be measured with a repeating K28.7 data pattern • The standard also specifies test values corresponding to the minimum level of compliance • For example, maximum high frequency optical jitter is specified
VCSEL Research • Started looking at VCSELs • Performed 4 Corner Analysis of: • Advanced Digital Optics • Roithner Lasertechnik • Appointech • ThorLabs • Briefly examined:
Four Corners Analysis for Advanced Digital Optics HFE438x-521
Other VCSEL Vendors • Lasermate • Link to datasheet for VCSEL with SC connector is dead • Optek • Does not appear to have VCSEL model with SC connectors
Summary of VCSELs • The Roithner Lasertechnik TTR-D1 appears to be the best VCSEL so far in performance terms • Potential problems • Delivery time • Currency costs • The most affordable with good performance appears to be the ThorLabs 850 option • Is it connecterized?
PDs and ROSAs • Preliminary research has begun for selecting an appropriate PD or ROSA • Delay due to questions regarding which will be used • ROSAs are readily available online and it is just a function of finding a cheap one with the right connecters
Evaluation Board Testing (cont) • Tested both PRBS7 and K285 • Using the clock, found the eye diagram of both signals with and without attenuation • Used the Bit Error Rate tester to find the BER of the PRBS7 pattern
Evaluation Board Testing (cont) K285 with proper attenuation (above) Triggering itself (below) PRBS7 with attenuation (above) without (below)
Evaluation Board Testing (cont) • With attenuation, the BER of PRBS7 was measured to be 0E-9 • With no attenuation, the BER of PRBS7 was measured to be 6.9E-2
Next Week • Research and select parts • Look at more VCSELs • Look at PDs/ROSAs • Call vendors for more information about price, availability, and whether the components are connecterized • Finalize optical link budget • Build evaluation board • Revise Gantt chart as necessary • Order parts?
