    1. SCOPE

      This Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) defines the form factor of an optical transceiver which can support 40Gbit/s and 100Gbit/s interfaces for Ethernet, Telecommunications and other applications. The electrical interface will vary by application, but the nominal signaling lane rate is 10Gbit/s per lane and documentation is provided for CAUI, XLAUI, OTL4.10, OTL3.4, and STL256.4 electrical interface specifications. The CFP module may be used to support single mode and multimode fiber optics.


      The CFP modules and the host system are hot-pluggable. The module or the host system shall not be damaged by insertion or removal of the module.


      CFP MSA is an acronym for 100G1 Form factor Pluggable Multi-Source Agreement.


      1. Application & Qualification

        All optoelectronic devices used within CFP MSA modules shall meet the reliability requirements as specified per Telcordia GR-468-CORE (Generic Reliability Assurance Requirements for Optoelectronic Devices Used in Telecommunications Equipment) or if necessary GR-1221-CORE (Generic Reliability Assurance Requirements for Passive Optical Components).


        In addition, the CFP MSA modules are intended for use in equipment qualified per Telcordia GR-63-CORE Network Equipment-Building System (NEBS) Requirements for Physical Protection.

    3. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

      The CFP module is a hot pluggable form factor designed for optical networking applications. The module size has been chosen to accommodate a wide range of power dissipations and applications. The module electrical interface has been generically specified to allow for vendor specific customization around various “M” lane by 10Gbit/s interfaces.


      1. Hot Pluggable

        A CFP module is defined to be hot pluggable. Hot Pluggable is defined as permitting module plugging and unplugging with Vcc applied, with no module damage and predictable module behavior as per the State Transition Diagram. As shown in Figure 5-9: Pin Map Connector Engagement, the Module Absent (MOD_ABS) pin and Module Low Power (MOD_LOPWR) pin are physically guaranteed to be the last pins to mate. Please refer to the state diagram in the “CFP MSA Management Interface Specification”, or alternately a reference version is shown at Figure 2-9: CFP MSA Start-Up Flow Diagram for detailed functional description.


  2. CFP Hardware Signaling Pins

    The control and status reporting functions between a host and a CFP module use non-data signal pins on the 148-pin connector. The signal pins work together with MDIO interface to form a complete HOST/CFP management interface. The signal pins provide status reporting. There are 6 Hardware Control pins, 5 Hardware Alarm pins, and 8 pins dedicated to the MDIO interface.


    1. Hardware Control Pins

      The CFP Module supports real-time control functions via hardware pins, listed in Table 2-1: Control Pins.

    2. Hardware Control Pins: Functional Description


      1. Programmable Controls (PRG_CNTLs)

        These control pins allow for the system to program certain controls via a Hardware pin. The default setting for Control 1 is control of the Transmit & Receive Reset. The default setting for the Controls 2 and 3 are the Hardware Interlock described in section 2.2.1.4. The electrical signaling requirements are specified in Table 2-5.


        1. Programmable Control 1 Pin

          Programmable Control Pin 1 (PRG_CNTL1) is an input pin from the Host, operating with programmable logic. It is pulled up in the CFP module. It can be re-programmed over MDIO registers to another MDIO control register while the module is in any steady state except Reset. The CFP MSA specifies that the default function be Transmit & Receive circuitry reset (TRXIC_RSTn) with active-low logic. When TRXIC_RSTn is asserted (driven low) the digital transmit and receive circuitry is reset clearing all FIFOs and/or resetting all CDRs and/or DLLs. When de-asserted, the digital transmit and receive circuitry resumes normal operation.


        2. Programmable Control 2 Pin

          Programmable Control Pin 2 (PRG_CNTL2) is an input pin from the Host, operating with programmable logic. It is pulled up in the CFP module. It can be re-programmed over MDIO registers to another MDIO control register while the module is in any state except Reset or Initialize. The CFP MSA specifies that the default function be the least significant bit of a two-bit code for Hardware Interlock.




          2 Pull-Up resistor (4.7kOhm to 10 kOhm) is located within the CFP module.

          3 Pull-Down resistor (4.7kOhm to 10 kOhm) is located within the CFP module

        3. Programmable Control 3 Pin

          Programmable Control Pin 3 (PRG_CNTL3) is an input pin from the Host, operating with programmable logic. It is pulled up in the CFP. It can be re-programmed over MDIO registers to another MDIO control register while the module is in any state except Reset or Initialize. The CFP MSA specifies that the default function be the most significant bit of a two-bit Code for Module Power Class rating. Together with the Programmable Control Pin 2, the host uses this Code as the Hardware Interlock to inform what the power rating is supported by host at the connector. The Code is listed in Table 2-2.


        4. Hardware Interlock

          The CFP MSA encompasses a wide range of applications and thus the expected power consumption of the CFP module will vary accordingly. Often systems are limited in the amount of power which can be dissipated in various module slots. The Hardware Interlock provides for four different power consumption levels. The module shall compare the maximum power dissipation under vendor specified operating conditions to the host system cooling capacity value communicated via the Hardware Interlock. See the Table 2-2: Hardware Interlock for definition of the Hardware Interlock function.


          The Hardware Interlock pins shall be kept at a static value during the transient Initialize state, and any change to the values will result in unpredictable module behavior.


          The default functions of Programmable Control Pin 2 (PRG_CNTL2) and Programmable Control Pin 3 (PRG_CNTL3) are to define the LSB and MSB of Hardware Interlock. The host uses this Code as the Hardware Interlock to inform what the power rating is supported. If the CFP Module Power Dissipation exceeds the power rating of the host system as communicated by the Hardware Interlock, the module is placed in low power state. This low power state is the same as the state of the module if MOD_LOPWR hardware pin is asserted, see section 2.2.3. Note that setting the two Hardware Interlock bits to “11” (or N.C.) is equivalent to Hardware Interlock being unused; the module will not go into low power mode.

      2. TX Disable Pin

        TX Disable Pin (TX_DIS) is an input pin from the Host, operating with active-high logic. This pin is pulled up in the CFP. When TX_DIS is asserted, all of the optical outputs inside a CFP module shall be turned off.

        When this pin is de-asserted, transmitters in a CFP module shall be turned on according to a predefined TX turned-on process which is defined by the state diagram shown in the “CFP MSA Management Interface Specification”. A maximum time is defined for the transmitter turn-on process. This time is vendor and/or

        technology specific and the value is stored in a MDIO register. See the “CFP MSA Management Interface Specification” for more details.

      3. Module Low Power Pin

        Module Low Power Pin (MOD_LOPWR) is an input pin from the host, operating with active-high logic. It is pulled up in the CFP. When MOD_LOPWR is asserted the CFP module shall be in the Low-Power State and will stay in the Low Power State as long as it is asserted. When de-asserted, the CFP shall initiate the

        Full-Power-up process. This pin on the CFP module is 1 mm shorter than the Vcc power supply pins. This design helps to control the inrush and turn-off current during module plug-in (insertion) and pull-out (extraction).


        In Low Power mode the module can communicate via the MDIO management interface. While the module is in low power mode it has a maximum power consumption of <2W. This protects hosts that are not capable of cooling higher power modules, should such modules be accidentally inserted.


        A maximum time is defined for the High-Power-up process, and a MDIO register is specified in the “CFP MSA Management Interface Specification”.

      4. Module Reset Pin

        Module Reset Pin (MOD_RSTn) is an input pin from the Host, operating with active-low logic. This pin is pulled down in the CFP with a pull-down resistor value of 4.7kOhm to 10 kOhm. When MOD_RSTn is asserted (driven low) the CFP module enters the Reset State. When de-asserted, the CFP module comes out of the Reset State and shall begin an initialization process as part of the overall module startup sequence.


    3. Hardware Alarm Pins

      The CFP Module supports alarm hardware pins, listed in Table 2-3: Hardware Alarm Pins.

    4. Hardware Alarm Pins: Functional Description

      1. Programmable Alarms (PRG_ALRMs)

        These alarm pins allow for the system to program module supported alarms to Hardware pins. The intention is to allow for maximum design and debug flexibility.


        1. Programmable Alarm 1 Pin

          Programmable Alarm Pin 1 (PRG_ALRM1) is an output pin to the Host, operating with programmable logic. It can be re-programmed over MDIO registers to another MDIO alarm register while the module is in any steady state except Reset. MSA specifies the default function to be High Power On (HIPWR_ON) indicator with active-high logic.


          The 40G and 100G applications for which the CFP is designed have numerous PMDs or port types which require specialized optoelectronic components which dissipate significant electrical power. The CFP MSA is designating that there be an intermediate state between the Low-Power state to the Module-Ready state, the TX-Off state. This state and default alarm function provides a defined state and signal where the CFP



          4 Pull-Down resistor (<100Ohm) is located within the CFP module. Pull-up should be located on the host.

          module is asserting wavelength control mechanisms and other high power functions. This default function signals the host system that the CFP module is now ready for the transmitter to be enabled. See section 2.8 for background information on start-up sequence or refer to the “CFP MSA Management Interface Specification” for details.


        2. Programmable Alarm 2 Pin

          Programmable Alarm Pin 2 (PRG_ALRM2) is an output pin to the Host, operating with programmable logic. It can be re-programmed over MDIO registers to another MDIO alarm register while the module is in any steady state except Reset. MSA specifies the default function to be Module Ready (MOD_READY) indicator with active-high logic.


          The default function MOD_READY is used by the CFP MSA during the module initialization. When asserted it indicates that the module has completed the necessary initialization process and is ready to transmit and receive data. See section 2.8 for background information on start-up sequence or refer to the “CFP MSA Management Interface Specification” for details.


        3. Programmable Alarm 3 Pin

          Programmable Alarm Pin 3 (PRG_ALRM3) is an output pin to the Host, operating with programmable logic. It can be re-programmed over MDIO registers to another MDIO alarm register while the module is in any steady state except Reset. MSA specifies the default function to be Module Fault (MOD_FAULT) indicator with active-high logic.


          The default function MOD_FAULT is used by the CFP MSA during the module initialization. When asserted it indicates that the module has entered into a Fault state. See section 2.8 for background information on start-up sequence or refer to the “CFP MSA Management Interface Specification” for details.


      2. Module Absent Pin

        Module Absent Pin (MOD_ABS) is an output pin from CFP to Host. It is pulled up on the host board and is pulled down to ground in the CFP module. MOD_ABS asserts a “Low” condition when module is plugged in host slot. MOD_ABS is asserted “High” when the CFP module is physically absent from a host slot.


      3. Receiver Loss of Signal Pin

        The Receiver Loss of Signal Pin (RX_LOS) is an output pin to the Host, operating with active-high logic. When asserted, it indicates received optical power in the CFP module is lower than the expected value. The optical power at which RX_LOS is asserted may be specified by other governing documents and the CFP module vendor as the alarm threshold level is application specific. The RX_LOS is the logic OR of the LOS signals from all the input receiving channels in a CFP module.

    5. Management Interface Pins (MDIO)

      The CFP Module supports alarm, control and monitor functions via an MDIO bus. Upon module initialization, these functions are available. CFP MDIO electrical interface consists of 8 pins including 2 pins for MDC and MDIO, 5 Physical Port Address pins, and the Global Alarm pin. MDC is the MDIO Clock line driven by the host and MDIO is the bidirectional data line driven by both the host and module depending upon the data directions. The CFP MDIO pins are listed in Table 2-4: Management Interface Pins.

    6. CFP Management Interface Hardware Description

      1. Global Alarm Pin

        Global Alarm Pin (GLB_ALRMn) is an output pin to the Host, operating with active-low logic. When GLB_ALRMn is asserted (driven low), it indicates that a Fault/Alarm/Warning/Status (FAWS) condition has occurred. It is driven by the logical OR of all fault/status/alarm/warning conditions latched in the latched registers. Masking Registers are provided so that GLB_ALRMn may be programmed to assert only for specific fault/alarm/warning/status conditions. It is recommended that the Host board be designed to support a high priority event handling service to respond to the assertion of this pin. Upon the assertion

        (driven low) of this pin, the Host event handler identifies the source of the fault by reading the latched registers over the MDIO interface. The reading action clears the latched registers which in turn causes the CFP to de-assert (releases) the GLB_ALRMn pin.


        Figure 2-4: Global Alarm Timing Diagram5



        For more detail on the GLB_ALRMn pin please refer to the “CFP MSA Management Interface Specification”.


      2. MDIO Pin

        The MDIO specification is defined in clause 45 of the IEEE 802.3 Standard. The CFP Module shall support

        4.0 Mbit/s as maximum data rate. The CFP uses an MDIO with 1.2V LVCMOS logic levels.


      3. MDC Pin

        Host specifies a maximum MDC rate of 4.0 MHz and CFP module hence has to support a maximum MDC rate up to 4.0 MHz. The CFP MSA module shall support a minimal 10 ns setup and hold time in its MDIO implementation.



        5 In this figure the Fault Occurrence is shown transitioning to a “Normal” Status. In order for this transition to occur a read of the alarmed register must have occurred such that the fault has been serviced.

      4. MDIO Physical Port Addresses

        These control pins are used for the system to address all of the CFP ports contained within a host system. PRTADR0 corresponds to the LSB in the physical port addressing scheme. The 5-wire Physical Port Address lines are driven by host to set the module Physical Port Address which should match the address specified in the MDIO Frame. It is recommended that the Physical Port Addresses not be changed while the CFP module is powered on.

    8. Hardware Signaling Pin Timing Requirements

      The CFP MSA module is designed to have a tightly coupled interface with host systems. Accordingly, the CFP MSA has defined a start-up sequence with steady state conditions, transient state conditions, and associated signaling flags to indicate state transition. A reference diagram of the start-up is shown in Figure 2-9 below. For a full description of the CFP MSA Start-Up sequence please refer to the “CFP MSA Management Interface Specification”.



      8 The MSA recommends host termination resistor value of 560 Ohms, which provides the best balance of performance for both open-drain and active tri-state driver in the module. Host termination resistor values below 560Ohms are allowed, to a minimum of 250 Ohms, but this degrades active driver performance. Host termination resistor values above 560 Ohms are allowed but this degrades open-drain driver performance.


      The above drawings, with maximum host load capacitance of 200pF, also define the measurement set-up for module MDC timing verification

      Figure 2-9: CFP MSA Start-Up Flow Diagram



      The CFP MSA module is designed to support a diverse set of high speed applications. The CFP MSA defines some timing parameters explicitly which are dependent upon the form factor. However, many of the timing parameters often used in optical networking applications are application specific. Accordingly, it is recommended that these timing parameters are specified by the CFP MSA module vendor.


      1. INIT_DONE

        The INIT_DONE signal is a required internal gating signal which may be used for multiple functions internal to the CFP MSA module. This internal signal is responsible for: (a) holding GLB_ALRM de-asserted (open);

        (b) holding MDIO inactive; (c) holding Hardware Alarms de-asserted; until the module has completed the Initialize state.

  3. MODULE MANAGEMENT INTERFACE DESCRIPTION


The CFP module utilizes MDIO IEEE 802.3 clause 45 for its management interface. The CFP MDIO implementation is defined in a separate document entitled, “CFP MSA Management Interface Specification”. When multiple CFP modules are connected via a single bus, a particular CFP module can be selected by using the Physical Port Address pins.

  1. 4 PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS

    2


    3 4.1 OPERATING ENVIRONMENT

    4

    1. For the CFP module all minimum and maximum parameters are specified End-of-Life within the overall

    2. relevant operating case temperature range from 0°C to 70°C unless otherwise stated.

    3. The typical values are referenced to +25°C, nominal power supply, Beginning-of-Life.

    8

    1. Host systems must use the appropriate cooling system to keep the case temperature within the

    2. recommended operating limits.

    11

    1. CFP module vendors must supply a maximum case temperature reference point as this value will vary

    2. across PMD and port type as well as across CFP vendors.

    14

    1. The CFP modules and the host system are hot-pluggable. The module or the host system shall not be

    2. damaged by insertion or removal of the module.

    17


    1. 4.2 POWER SUPPLIES AND POWER DISSIPATION

      19

      1. 4.2.1 Voltage power supply and power dissipation

      2. The CFP module requires a single power supply. Longer optical reach modules require larger currents than

      3. shorter optical reach modules. It is recommended that system designers thermally budget for the maximum

      4. power dissipation as longer optical reach modules will dissipate more power than shorter optical reach

      5. modules. Please refer to Appendix I: THERMAL DESIGN for more details on the thermal characteristics.

      25

      1. 4.2.2 Inrush current

      2. The inrush current on the 3.3V power supply shall be limited by the CFP module to assure a maximum rate

      3. of change defined in table 4-1 below.

      29

      1. 4.2.3 Turn-off current

      2. The CFP MSA module supports a variety of applications many of which require high power dissipation and

      3. large current draws on the 3.3V power supply. As noted in section 2.2.3, the MOD_LOPWR pin is 1mm

      4. shorter than Vcc pins to provide the module a signal to allow for smooth ramp down of the power supply

      5. current. The module shall limit the turn-off current to assure a maximum rate of change per table 4-1 below.

      6. In addition the host may use MOD_ABS pin, which is also 1mm shorter than Vcc to respond to the module

      7. transitioning to low power state.

      37

      1. 4.2.4 Power Supply Noise Susceptibility

      2. A host system will supply stable power to the module and guarantee that noise & ripple on the power supply

      3. does not exceed that defined in the table. A possible example of a power supply filtering circuit that might be

      4. used on the host system is a PI (proportional integral) C-L-C filter. A module will meet all electrical

      5. requirements and remain fully operational in the presence of noise on the 3.3V power supply which is less

      6. than that defined in the table 4-1. The component values of power supply noise filtering circuit, such as the

      1. capacitor and inductor, must be selected such that maximum Inrush and Turn-off current does not cause

      2. voltage transients which exceed the absolute maximum power supply voltage, all specified in Table 4-1.

  6. variety of channel spacing of 12.5, 25, 50, 100 GHz and wider.

7

  1. The ITU-T document G.694.2 specifies the CWDM wavelength grid, which supports a channel spacing

  2. of 20 nm. Unlike DWDM, whose grid is specified in terms of an anchor frequency, the CWDM grid is

  3. defined in terms of wavelength separation. This grid is made up of 18 wavelengths defined within the

  4. range 1271 nm to 1611 nm.

12

  1. 4.3.2 Testing Method

  3. management interface. Suggested loopback orientation implementation is TX0 to RX0. The host loopback

  4. and the network loopback are oriented per Figure 4-2 shown below. Host loopback loops the „M‟ host lanes.

  5. Network loopback loops the „N‟ network lanes. The capability to support the loopback functionality is

  6. dependent upon the interface IC technology labeled as “Gearbox/CDR” in the figure. The capability of this

  7. block is application dependent. If PRBS checkers and generators are supported, they will be located in the

  8. “Gearbox/CDR” block. The CFP MSA module vendor will specify which loopback functionality, if any, is

  9. available. For details on controlling the loopback mode, please refer to “CFP MSA Management Interface

  10. Specification”.

      1. Reference Clock

        The host shall supply a reference clock (REFCLK) at 1/64 electrical lane rate. The CFP module may optionally use the 1/64 reference clock for transmitter path retiming, for example for Ethernet applications.


        The host shall optionally supply a reference clock (REFCLK) at 1/16 electrical lane rate,. The CFP module may optionally use the 1/16 reference clock for transmitter path retiming, for example for Telecom applications.


        The REFCLK shall be CML differential AC coupled and terminated within the CFP module as shown in Figure 4-1: High Speed I/O for Data and Clocks. There is no required phase relationship between the data lanes and the reference clock, but the clock frequency shall not deviate more than specified in Table 4-2. For detailed clock characteristics please refer to the below table.


        REFCLK is not intended for use in the receiver path. If required, the CFP module has to provide a clock reference generated internally.

  1. MECHANICAL SPECIFICATIONS

    1. Mechanical Overview

      The CFP MSA module is designed to be assembled into a host system with a railing system. The railing system assembly is fabricated within the host system, and the CFP MSA module may be inserted at a later time. Shown in Figure 5-1 is a drawing of the CFP module and a CFP module inserted into a host system with a riding heat sink.


      Figure 5-1: CFP Module & CFP Module Mated in Host System


      Starting in Figure 5-2, is an overview of the mechanical assembly with the subsequent figures show the constituent elements in greater detail. The final dimensions are located in a separate document hosted on the CFP MSA Website (www.cfp-msa.org).

    2. Electrical Connector

      Shown below is detail on the electrical connector system used for the CFP MSA. The final dimensions are located in a separate document hosted on the CFP MSA Website (www.cfp-msa.org).



      1. Module Plug Connector

        The CFP MSA is specifying a two piece electrical connector for superior electrical performance and superior mechanical integrity. Shown in Figure 5-6 is the module plug connector assembly which is contained as a sub-component within the CFP module.

        Figure 5-6: Module Plug Connector Assembly


      2. Host Connector

        The CFP MSA is specifying a two piece electrical connector for superior electrical performance and superior mechanical integrity. Shown in Figure 5-7 and Figure 5-8 are overview drawings of the host connector assembly. This assembly shall be built into the host system. The Host Connector shall be covered by the Host Connector Cover Assembly and provides an electromagnetic shielding as well as a solid mechanical interface for the module fastening screws.


        Figure 5-7: Host Connector Cover Assembly Figure 5-8: Host Connector

      3. Connector Pin Contact Mating

        The host connector has a physical offset of metal contact pins to insure that certain signals make engagement between the module and host prior to other signals. There are four categories of pin engagement. A map of the connector engagement is shown in Figure 5-9. The connector pin map engagement order is guaranteed by the physical offset built into the host connector. The module plug connector has all contacts on the same plane without offset.

    4. Host System Dimensions

      The detailed CFP host system dimensions including host board layout are located in a separate document hosted on the CFP MSA Website (www.cfp-msa.org).


    5. Riding Heat Sink

      Since the CFP MSA module is being designed to support a wide array of optical networking applications, it may be necessary to provide a heat sink system which allows for system customization. The CFP MSA is providing a Riding Heat Sink system definition to allow system designers the maximum flexibility for their system while maintaining a common form factor and faceplate aperture across systems.


      As shown in Figure 5-10, the heat sink is mounted to the host railing system. It is recommended that the heat sink be mounted with a spring load to provide positive force, but that the overall travel in the y-axis be minimized. For a more detailed discussion, please refer to Appendix I: THERMAL DESIGN .


      The heat sink illustrated in Figure 5-10 is for reference only. The recommended material for the heat sink is aluminum. Furthermore, a thermal interposer for reduced friction is recommended to be used on the underside of the riding heat sink.


      Figure 5-10: Riding Heat Sink Overview



      The mounting dimensions for the Riding Heat Sink are shown below in Figure 5-11. The actual dimensions of the heat sink shall be optimized for the particular host system. For a more detailed discussion, please refer to Appendix I: THERMAL DESIGN .

      15 Note 1: Detailed co planarity requirement of thermal interposer is not specified. This plane is the base of the heat sink body and is sitting plane with the guide rail assembly top surface.

      16 Note 2: Each spring applies 2.5-3.75N(Total:10-15N) force to the module regardless of the orientation of the host board. This pressure calculation assumes the weight of the heat sink.

      17 Note3: A reference heat sink base thickness is 3mm

      Figure 5-15: Riding Heat Sink Assembly



    6. Optical Connectors

      The optical connector for the MSA shall be located per Figure 5-16 below. The optical connector is centered in position along the X-axis (module width) with an offset tolerance of ±0.5mm. The position of the optical connector in the Y and Z axes shall be specified by the CFP module manufacturer.


      Figure 5-16: CFP Optical Connector Position


      1. Optional Optical LC Connector Position for Telecom Applications

        Some telecom applications require adherence to a Network Equipment Building System standard such as,

        [12] NEBS Requirements: Physical Protection; Document Number GR-63. For such applications, an alternate optional configuration of the optical connector may be supported. A reference figure for such an application is shown below in Figure 5-17.

      CFP MSA module manufacturer is responsible for the compliance to any environmental regulations.

  4. Appendix I: THERMAL DESIGN EXAMPLE

    The following section provides thermal design reference for CFP MSA host system designers to model and characterize the thermal behavior of CFP modules.


    The Riding Heat Sink system for the CFP MSA is a new design concept for optical modules and provides a high degree of flexibility in heat sink design. This flexibility enables host system designers to accommodate various power class CFP modules with various line card designs including dimensional variance or airflow variance. However, these varieties of heat sink system design will be supported by the heat sink systems manufacturer not by the CFP MSA.


    1. Scope

      The purpose of this section is to provide guidance to create a consistent test environment. This will identify the limiting boundary conditions to help the efficient thermal system design using CFP modules.


      The parameters defined in this section shall enable clear communication of thermal simulation or thermal test data between module manufacturer and system vendor and will aid correlation between simulation and actual measured results.


      This document however does not guarantee system level performance or port density. This will be resolved on a system specific basis. Any characterization results presented in this thermal section are given as examples only.


    2. Riding heat sink system

      The heat sink system for CFP modules introduces the “Riding heat sink system” whereby the heat sinks are attached on rails of a host card. As the CFP is inserted, the heat sink “rides” on top of the CFP module. This system allows the heat of the CFP module to be dissipated to the heat sink. The bottom of heat sink which “rides” on top of the CFP module shall have a low friction high thermal conductivity interface.


      The Riding heat sink system enables system venders to design a common CFP port with a single faceplate aperture size. The optimum heat sink may be designed to accommodate the thermal management of various line card designs depending on the variation of the power class (defined in Table 8-1), line card dimension, module port number and air flow direction.

      Below are examples.


      1. For power class 1 (<8W, no riding heat sink is shown)

    3. Assumption for thermal characterization and simulation

      Information presented by the module vendor in relation to this document is obtained from a 'confined or ducted flow' described as:


      A wind tunnel is defined in Figure 8-3

      The multiple module configurations are defined in Table 8-1 Test environment is shown in Table 8-2


      Other assumptions:

      PCB host board has no copper layer. Duct housing is made of plastic.

      Dimensions of the chassis allow maximum 4 modules on 86.0 mm spacing.


      Setup:

      • Fans are arranged across the vent opening such that the direction of airflow is side to side (length axis) and be of constant volume airflow.

      • Airflow is characterized using a calibrated hot wire anemometer placed at the airflow inlet.

      • Thermocouples are used to measure the case temperatures

      • Case temperature measurement point will vary by module vendor and PMD type. Module vendors may identify the information to the end user for verification in the system level environment.

      • A steady state is obtained at measurements.

      • Not all combinations of power classes nor heat sink sizes were considered for this characterization

      • During thermal evaluation, CFP modules should handle the specified data patterns (TBD) on both the XLAUI/CAUI and PMD outputs.

      • Other measurement data provided is at the discretion of the module manufacturer.

      19 The Heat Sink height is simply a subtraction of the Total Height from the CFP module height. The heat sink fins will not be representative of this Heat Sink height number as a base thickness for the assembly is required.

      20 The Height of the wind tunnel refers to the allowable height for airflow – meaning from the top of the PCB surface

      21 Other heat sink dimensions may be investigated. The cases listed are only meant to be illustrative.

    4. Preliminary Example Results

The purpose of this section is to provide a example test result for thermal testing of CFP modules in a host system. The test results shown in Figure 8-4 represent a no baffled airflow condition. During testing it was found that most of the airflow bypassed the CFP module heat sinks and was not effectively cooling the modules. Careful design of the heat sink and airflow is recommended for the host system design.
