6. Precautions during use
(1)
Absolute maximum rating
The absolite maximum ratings are the limit values which must not be exceeded during operation of device.
None of these rating value must not be exceeded. If the absolute maximum rating value is exceeded, the
characteristics of devices may never be restored properly. In extreme cases, the device may be
permanently damages.
Operating Range
The operating range is the range of conditions necessary for the device to operate as specified in
individual technical datasheets and databooks. Care must be exercised in the design of the equipment.
If a device is used under conditions that do not exceed absolute maximum ratings but exceed the
operating range, the specifications related to device operation and electrical characteristics may not be
met, resulting in a decrease in
reliability.
If greater reliability is required, derate the device’s operating ranges for voltage, current, power and
temperature before use.
Lifetime of light emitters
If an optical module is used for a long period of time, degeneration in the characteristics will mostly be due
to a lowering of the fiber output power (Pf). This is caused by the degradation of the optical output of the
LEDs used as the light source. The cause of degradation of the optical output of the LEDs may be defects
in wafer crystallization or mold resin stress. The detailed causes are, however, not clear.
The lifetime of light emitters is greatly influenced by the operating conditions and the environment in which
it is used as well as by the lifetime characteristics unique to the device type. Thus, when a light emitting
device and its operating conditions determined, Toshiba recommend that lifetime characteristics be
checked.
Depending on the environment conditions, Toshiba recommend that maintenance such as regular checks
of the amount of optical output in accordance with the condition of operating environment.

Soldering
Optical modules are comprised of internal semiconductor devices. However, in principle, optical modules
are optical components. During soldering, ensure that flux does not contact with the emitting surface or the
detecting surface. Also ensure that proper flux removal is conducted after soldering.
Some optical modules come with a protective cap. The protective cap is used to avoid malfunction when
the optical module is not in use. Note that it is not dust or waterproof.
As mentioned before, optical modules are optical components. Thus, in principle, soldering where there
may be flux residue and flux removal after soldering is not recommended. Toshiba recommend that
soldering be performed without the optical module mounted on the board. Then, after the board has been
cleaned, the optical module should be soldered on to the board manually.
If the optical module cannot be soldered manually, use non−halogen (chlorine−free) flux and make sure,
without cleaning, there is no residue such as chlorine. This is one of the ways to eliminate the effects of
flux. In such a cases, be sure to check the devices’ reliability.
Noise resistance
It is believed that the use of optical transfer devices improve noise resistance. In theory, optical fiber is not
affected by noise at all. However, receiving modules which handle signals whose level is extremely small,
are susceptible to noise.
TOSLINK improve noise resistance to use a conductive case. However, the current signal output by the
optical receiving modules’ photodiode is extremely small. Thus, in some environments, shielding the case
may not achieve sufficient noise resistance.
First systems which incorporate TOSLINK, Toshiba recommend testing using the actual device to check its
noise resistance.
Use a simple noise filter on TOSLINK fiber optic transceiving module’s power line. If the ripple in the power
supply used is significant, reinforce the filter.
The optical module is to be used in an area which is susceptible to radiated noise, increase the shielding
by covering the optical module and the power line filter with a metallic cover.
Vibration and shock
This module is plastic sealed and has its wire fixed by resin. This structure is relatively resistant to vibration
and shock. In actual equipment, there are sometime cases in which vibration, shock, or stress is applied to
soldered parts or connected parts, resulting in lines cut. A care must be taken in the design of equipment
which will be subject to high levels of vibration.
Fixing fiber optical transceiving module
Solder the fixed pin (pins 9 and 10) of fiber optic transceiving module TODX297A(F) to the printed circuit
board to fix the module to the board.
Shielding and wiring pattern of fiber optic transceiving modules
To shield, connect the fixed pins (pins 9 and 10) of fiber optic transceiving module TODX297A(F) to the
GND.
Where the fiber optic transceiving module uses conductive resin, be careful that the case does not touch
wiring (including land).
To improve noise resistance, shield the optical module and the power line filter using a metallic cover.
Solvent
When using solvent for flux removal, do not use a high acid or high alkali solvent. Be careful not to pour solvent in to the
optical connector ports. If solvent is inadvertently poured in to them, clean it off using cotton tips.
Protective cap
When the TODX297A(F) is not in use, attach the protective cap.
Supply voltage
Use the supply voltage within the operating condition (V
CC
= 5 ± 0.25 V). Make sure that supply voltage does not exceed
the absolute maximum rating value of 7 V, even for an instant.

Input voltage
If a voltage exceeding the absolute maximum rating value (V
CC
+ 0.5 V) is applied to the transmitter input, the internal IC
may suffer damage. If there is a possibility that excessive voltage due to surges may be added to the input terminal,
insert a protective circuit.
Output
If the receiver output is at low and is connected to the power supply, or if the output is high and is connected to GND,
the internal IC may be destroyed.
Soldering condition
(13)
(14)
Solder at 260°C or less for no more than ten seconds.

Precautions when disposing of devices and packing materials.
When disposing devices and packing materials, follow the procedures stipulated by local regulations in order to protect
the environment against contamination.
Compound semiconductors such as GaAs are used as LED materials in this module. When devices are disposed of,
worker safety and protection of the environment must be taken into account.
