Arista Compatible QDD-400G-DR4-A-FL General Description

This product is a 400Gb/s Quad Small Form Factor Pluggable-double density (QSFP56-DD) optical module designed for 500m optical communication applications. The module converts 8 channels of 50Gb/s (PAM4) electrical input data to 4 channels of parallel optical signals, each capable of 100Gb/s operation for an aggregate data rate of 400Gb/s. Reversely, on the receiver side, the module converts 4 channels of parallel optical signals of 100Gb/s each channel for an aggregate data rate of 400Gb/s into 8 channels of 50Gb/s (PAM4) electrical output data.


An optical fiber cable with an MTP/MPO-12 connector can be plugged into the QSFP56-DD DR4 module receptacle. Proper alignment is ensured by the guide pins inside the receptacle. The cable usually cannot be twisted for proper channel to channel alignment. Electrical connection is achieved through an QSFP56-DD MSA-compliant edge type connector.

The product is designed with form factor, optical/electrical connection, and digital diagnostic interface according to the QSFP56-DD Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) Type 2. It has been designed to meet the harshest external operating conditions including temperature, humidity, and EMI interference.


Arista Compatible QDD-400G-DR4-A-FL Functional Description

The module incorporates 4 parallel channels on 1310nm center wavelength, operating at 100G per channel. The transmitter path incorporates a quad channel EML driver together with 4 parallel EMLs. On the receiver path, a PD array is connected with a quad channel TIA to convert the parallel 400Gb/s optical input into 4 channels of parallel 100Gb/s (PAM4) electrical signals. A DSP basis gearbox is used to convert 8 channels of 25GBaud PAM4 signals into 4 channels of 50GBaud PAM4 signals and also an 8-channel retimer and FEC block are integrated in this DSP. The electrical interface is compliant with IEEE 802.3bs and QSFP56-DD MSA in the transmitting and receiving directions, and the optical interface is compliant to QSFP56-DD MSA with MPO-12 connector.


A single +3.3V power supply is required to power up this product. All the power supply pins are internally connected and should be applied concurrently. As per MSA specifications the module offers seven low speed hardware control pins (including the 2-wire serial interface): ModSelL, SCL, SDA, ResetL, InitMode, ModPrsL and IntL.


Module Select (ModSelL) is an input pin. When held low by the host, this product responds to 2-wire serial communication commands. The ModSelL allows the use of this product on a single 2-wire interface bus – individual ModSelL lines must be used.


Serial Clock (SCL) and Serial Data (SDA) are required for the 2-wire serial bus communication interface and enable the host to access the memory map.


The ResetL pin enables a complete reset, returning the settings to their default state, when a low level on the ResetL pin is held for longer than the minimum pulse length. During the execution of a reset the host shall disregard all status bits until it indicates a completion of the reset interrupt. The product indicates this by posting an IntL (Interrupt) signal with the Data_Not_Ready bit negated in the memory map. Note that on power up (including hot insertion) the module should post this completion of reset interrupt without requiring a reset.


Initialize Mode (InitMode) is an input signal. It is pulled up to Vcc in the QSFP56-DD module. The InitMode signal allows the host to define whether the QSFP56-DD module will initialize under host software control (InitMode asserted High) or module hardware control (InitMode deasserted Low). Under host software control, the module shall remain in Low Power Mode until software enables the transition to High Power Mode, as defined in the QSFP56-DD Management Interface Specification. Under hardware control (InitMode de-asserted Low), the module may immediately transition to High Power Mode after the management interface is initialized. The host shall not change the state of this signal while the module is present. In legacy QSFP applications, this signal is named LPMode. See SFF-8679 for LPMode signal description.


Module Present (ModPrsL) is a signal local to the host board which, in the absence of a product, is normally pulled up to the host Vcc. When the product is inserted into the connector, it completes the path to ground through a resistor on the host board and asserts the signal. ModPrsL then indicates its present by setting ModPrsL to a “Low” state.


Interrupt (IntL) is an output pin. “Low” indicates a possible operational fault or a status critical to the host system. The host identifies the source of the interrupt using the 2-wire serial interface. The IntL pin is an open collector output and must be pulled to the Host Vcc voltage on the Host board.

Notes:

  1. Average launch power, each lane (min) is informative and not the principal indicator of signal strength. A transmitter with launch power below this value cannot be compliant; however, a value above this does not ensurecompliance.

  2. Even if the TDECQ < 1.4 dB, the OMAouter (min) must exceed the minimum value specified here.

  3. The receiver shall be able to tolerate, without damage, continuous exposure to an optical input signal having this average power level.

  4. Average receive power, each lane (min) is informative and not the principal indicator of signal strength. A received power below this value cannot be compliant; however, a value above this does not ensure compliance.

  5. Receiver sensitivity (OMAouter), each lane (max) is informative and is defined fora transmitter with SECQ of 0.9 dB.

  6. Measured with conformance test signal for BER = 2.4x10-4.

  7. These test conditions are for measuring stressed receiver sensitivity. They arenot characteristics of the receiver.
