Copperhead
™
Series
Fibre Channel transceiver
line interface module
Fiber speed data and communications
over 100+ meters of copper
Designed to be inter-operable with existing ECL fiber transceiver
drivers, Copperhead
TM
fibre channel copper transceiver line
interface modules drive high frequency (fiber speed) signals
over copper media. Models TM133 thru TM1062 are designed to
deliver fibre channel capabilities to the workstation over shielded
twisted pair (STP), twinax, mini coax, and video coaxial cable.
Model TM1250 provides communications for short haul Gigabit
Ethernet applications, typically over twinax or coaxial cable.
Model TM1485 provides communications for SMPTE, also typi-
cally over twinax or coax cable. All Copperhead
™
fibre channel
copper transceiver line interface modules are supplied as sur-
face mount gull wing packages.
Features
High performance, low cost alternative to completely fiber systems
Enhanced distance and signal clarity with complete inter-operability per ANSI X3T11,
FC-PH (FC-0 Rev 9.1)
Small, discrete passive design incorporates equalizer, transformers, and filters for
"short haul" applications; industrial temp -40°C to +85°C (-55°C to +125°C available)
Compact active models for "long haul" applications; -40°C to +85°C and -55° to +125°
Low EMI emissions; designed for FCC Class B compliance and use over shielded
twisted pair cable with high radiated electromagnetic susceptibility - 10 V/m
Low transmit/receive jitter
Small footprint for surface mounting
Low power dissipation; 450 mW typical
ECL logic interface - directly compatible with proposed standards

Technical description
Copperhead
™
fibre channel transceiver line interface modules (LIM) take differential
ECL level NRZ data signal from the available fibre channel (or Gigabit Ethernet) silicon.
The signal is then converted to drive level, pre-conditioned with an output filter, and
transmitted over the cable through an interfacing wideband pulse transformer.
The transformer converts the signal to current and voltage levels, with exceptionally
low transmit jitter, suitable for transmission on STP, twinax or coaxial cable. The trans-
ceiver matches the impedance of both the ECL circuit and the cable plant, providing a
resultant output signal with minimum jitter and return loss.
The receiver portion of the transceiver LIM takes the signal from the media cable
and equalizes it by using a unique wideband pulse transformer and circuitry. This initi-
ates the conversion process of reducing the composite signal to ECL level NRZ for the
next level fibre channel silicon.
Benefits of transformer coupling
The pulse transformers used in Copperhead
™
transceiver LIMs provide high isolation
and optimum damping of transients. They also eliminate DC components in the signal
and provide common mode signal rejection. The transformer is also used to match the
load to the source and provide maximum power transfer, and also to prevent reflections
from transmission line effects.
