- Digital-diagnostic-monitoring functions for optoelectronic transceivers
A recent revision to the optoelectronic-transceiver module MSA (multisource agreement) adds digital-diagnostic-monitoring requirements to the transceiver ( references 1 and 2 ). Digital-diagnostic-monitoring provides a user with critical information concerning the status of the transmitted and received signals. This approach allows for better fault isolation and error detection. To make ......
- Circuit-board design for 10-Gbit XFP optical modules
The XFP MSA (10-Gbit small-form-factor-pluggable multisource-agreement) group, which defined a 10-Gbps serial transceiver for datacom and telecom applications, comprises leading networking, system, optical-module, semiconductor, and connector companies from both the datacom and the telecom industries ( Reference 1 ). Founding member companies, which launched the group in 2001, include Broadcom ......
- $20 module replaces RS-232 wiring
A new wireless module from Radiotronix combines a spread-spectrum transceiver with a protocol controller for transparent wire-replacement applications. The Wi.232 replaces RS-232/422/485 wiring and supports low-data-rate, low-power embedded-wireless applications, such as automated meter reading, industrial automation, home automation, medical instrumentation, and RFID. Initially available in a 915-MHz version, the module ......
