Finisar’s FTLF8524P2xNy Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers are compatible with the Small Form Factor Pluggable Multi-Sourcing Agreement (MSA).
They are compatible with Fibre Channel FC-PI-2 Rev. 7.02. Rate Selectable versions are also compatible with Gigabit Ethernet as specified in IEEE Std 802.33. They are RoHS compliant and lead-free per directive 2002/95/EC4 and Finisar Application Note AN-2038. Digital diagnostics functions are available via the 2-wire serial bus set out in the SFP MSA.

Digital Diagnostic Functions

Finisar FTLF8524P2xNy SFP transceivers support the 2-wire serial communication protocol as defined in the SFP MSA1. It is closely related to the E2PROM defined in the GBIC standard, with the same electrical specifications.

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

Additionally, Finisar SFP transceivers provide an enhanced digital diagnostic monitoring interface, 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 alert end-users when particular operating parameters are outside of a factory set normal range.

The SFP MSA defines a 256-byte memory map in E2PROM that is accessible over a 2-wire serial interface at the 8 bit address 1010000X (A0h). The cardinal 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. The complete interface is detailed in Finisar Application Note AN-2030: “Digital Diagnostics Monitoring Interface for SFP Optical Transceivers”.

The operating and diagnostics information is controlled 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 enabled, the serial clock signal (SCL, Mod Def 1) is generated by the host. The positive edge clocks data into the SFP transceiver into those segments of the E2PROM that are not write-protected. The negative edge clocks data from the SFP 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 signify the start and end of serial protocol activation. The memories are structured as a series of 8-bit data words that can be addressed individually or sequentially.
