Timbercon Releases XFP Electrical Loopback
LAKE OSWEGO, Ore., July 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Timbercon, Inc. announced they
have finalized the XFP Electrical Loopback that has been in the prototype
testing phase with key customers for the past three (3) months. Timbercon has
completed all design and engineering phases of the XFP Electrical Loopback and
has started manufacturing of production quantities for sale to all XFP users
and designers.
The Timbercon EL-10-07001 XFP Electrical Loopback is used for testing XFP
transceiver ports in host/system boards. By substituting for a full-featured
XFP transceiver the XFP Electrical Loopback provides a cost effective method
for XFP port testing. In addition to the Electrical Loopback function, the EL-
10-07001 provides an MSA standard 2-wire serial communication interface to
digital diagnostics, pre-loaded EEPROM memory maps (standard and customized),
and XFP power level 3 loading of all four (4) XFP voltage supplies
(+1.8V, +3.3V, +5.0V, and -5.2V).
One significant feature of the XFP Electrical Loopback is that it contains
two LEDs that allow for quick and visible performance indication. The green
LED is illuminated when the module is fully plugged in and has voltage
applied. The amber LED is illuminated when the module is receiving valid data
traffic. Internally this function is generated by the CDR/Signal conditioner
IC.
In addition to the release of the XFP Electrical Loopback Timbercon is
also beginning final design stages of an XFP Host Test Board that tests and
programs both XFP Electrical Loopbacks and XFP transceivers. The XFP Host Test
Board meets and exceeds the XFP MSA standards. Two proprietary features of the
Timbercon XFP Host Test Board are LED indicators for power supply and data
transfer as well as full read/write capabilities. The XFP Host Test Board will
come complete with operation software and a user manual to enable XFP
programming and testing.
