Product details
Overview
AFBR-5805ATZ from Broadcom (formerly Avago Technologies) is a SONET OC-3 / SDH STM-1 ATM transceiver for multimode fiber, featuring 1300 nm InGaAsP LED transmitter and InGaAs PIN photodiode receiver, +3.3 V or +5.0 V single supply, PECL-compatible differential data I/O, and signal detect output. It supports 2 km backbone links in telecom and enterprise ATM infrastructure.
For engineers reviewing the AFBR-5805ATZ datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified optical power budget (-19 dBm BOL, 62.5/125 µm), jitter performance (SJ ≤ 1.2 ns p-p), operating temperature range (-10°C to +85°C), and 1×9 SIP package compatibility with duplex SC/ST receptacles - all critical for SONET physical layer design and link budget validation.
Technical Context
The AFBR-5805ATZ implements a full SONET OC-3 (155.52 MBd) physical layer interface compliant with ATM Forum UNI 3.0 and ANSI T1E1.2 for 2 km multimode fiber. Its transmitter uses a custom driver IC to convert differential PECL inputs into analog LED drive current, while the receiver integrates a transimpedance preamplifier and quantizer IC to deliver PECL-compatible differential data and single-ended signal detect outputs.
Optical performance is defined for both 62.5/125 µm (NA=0.275) and 50/125 µm (NA=0.20) fibers, with guaranteed input sensitivity of -35 dBm avg at eye center and optical extinction ratio ≥10 dB. Jitter contributions are allocated per Annex B of ANSI T1E1.2 Revision 3: systematic jitter ≤1.2 ns p-p and random jitter ≤1.91 ns p-p for the receiver, ensuring system-level timing compliance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Rate | 155.52 MBd - matches SONET OC-3 / SDH STM-1 line rate; enables direct integration into ATM UNI physical layer designs. |
| Optical Wavelength | 1270–1380 nm center wavelength - optimized for low dispersion in multimode fiber at 1300 nm window. |
| Transmit Power (BOL) | -19 dBm avg. (62.5/125 µm) - provides sufficient margin for 2 km link with connector/splice losses and aging. |
| Receiver Sensitivity | -35 dBm avg. at eye center - ensures reliable BER ≤1×10⁻¹⁰ under worst-case jitter and dispersion conditions. |
| Supply Voltage | +3.3 V or +5.0 V - single-rail operation simplifies power delivery; supports legacy and modern board designs. |

Pinout & Package
AFBR-5805ATZ uses a standard 1×9 SIP (Single In-line Package) with 9 signal pins and 2 mechanical solder posts. The package supports either duplex SC or duplex ST receptacle interfaces and complies with multisource 1×9 footprint definitions. Height is ≤39.12 mm (1.540 in), compatible with chassis cutouts for both connector types.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 9 | VEE | Ground reference for PECL logic; must be connected to system ground plane for signal integrity and ESD immunity. |
| 2, 3 | RD | Differential receiver data outputs; PECL-compatible, terminated to VCC−2 V via 50 Ω for proper logic levels. |
| 4 | SD | Signal detect (single-ended); asserts high when received optical power ≥ −31 dBm, deasserts ≤ −45 dBm. |
| 5, 6 | VCC | Positive supply input; accepts +3.3 V or +5.0 V; requires local decoupling (0.1 µF + 10 µF) per datasheet Figure 7. |
| 7, 8 | TD | Differential transmitter data inputs; PECL-referenced (ECL-shifted); accept −1.81 V to −0.88 V relative to VCC. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SONET OC-3 multimode fiber transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AFBR-5805TZ | Same optical/electrical specs but rated for 0°C to +70°C ambient; lower max operating temperature than AFBR-5805ATZ's −10°C to +85°C. | Suitable for controlled indoor environments only; not qualified for unconditioned wiring closets or outdoor cabinets. | Select AFBR-5805TZ only if thermal management guarantees ambient ≤70°C; otherwise AFBR-5805ATZ ensures wider deployment flexibility. |
| HFBR-5805CPZ | Same 1×9 package and SONET OC-3 compliance, but uses VCSEL instead of LED; higher coupling efficiency into 50/125 µm fiber. | Better suited for 50/125 µm links up to 2 km; slightly higher cost and different aging profile (VCSEL vs. LED). | Choose HFBR-5805CPZ when optimizing for 50/125 µm fiber loss budget or when VCSEL reliability model aligns with system requirements. |
Compared with AFBR-5805TZ, AFBR-5805ATZ extends operational range to −10°C for cold-start scenarios and +85°C for high-ambient deployments, while HFBR-5805CPZ trades LED longevity for higher 50/125 µm coupling efficiency - making AFBR-5805ATZ the optimal choice for general-purpose, temperature-variable ATM backbone links.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported fiber distance for AFBR-5805ATZ in a 62.5/125 µm multimode link?
The AFBR-5805ATZ is specified for 2 km backbone links per ANSI T1E1.2 and ATM Forum UNI 3.0. Its optical power budget (−19 dBm BOL transmit, −35 dBm sensitivity) accommodates fiber attenuation, connector losses, splices, and ≥1 dB aging margin - validated for 62.5/125 µm fiber with NA=0.275. Longer distances require repeaters or lower-loss fiber.
Does AFBR-5805ATZ support both +3.3 V and +5.0 V supply voltages simultaneously?
No, AFBR-5805ATZ operates from a single supply: either +3.3 V or +5.0 V, not both. The internal driver and preamplifier ICs are designed to function across either rail, with supply current ranging from 135 mA (3.3 V) to 175 mA (5.0 V) for the transmitter and 87–120 mA for the receiver. Mixed-supply operation is not supported.
How is signal detect (SD) functionality implemented in AFBR-5805ATZ?
The AFBR-5805ATZ provides a single-ended Signal Detect (SD) output that asserts high when received optical power exceeds −31 dBm (PA) and deasserts below −45 dBm (PD), with 1.5 dB hysteresis. SD response time is 0–100 µs (assert) and 0–350 µs (deassert), enabling rapid link-up/down detection in ATM network management systems without external monitoring circuitry.
Is AFBR-5805ATZ pin-compatible with earlier AFBR-5805Z variants?
Yes, AFBR-5805ATZ shares identical 1×9 SIP pinout, mechanical footprint, and electrical signaling (PECL I/O, VEE/VCC/SD/TD/RD assignments) with AFBR-5805Z, AFBR-5805TZ, and AFBR-5805AZ. The only differences are extended temperature rating (−10°C to +85°C) and updated RoHS compliance - no PCB or firmware changes are required for migration.
What packaging options are available for AFBR-5805ATZ?
AFBR-5805ATZ is supplied in a low-profile 1×9 SIP package with choice of duplex SC or duplex ST receptacle interface. Both versions use the same pinout and electrical characteristics. The housing is molded from filled nonconductive plastic, with phosphor bronze pins/posts plated in pure tin (electrical) or tin-copper (solder posts) for lead-free assembly compatibility.
