Product details
Overview
DS1852B-00C+ from Maxim Integrated is a fiber-optic transceiver diagnostic monitor IC implementing SFF-8472 proposal at device address A2h, featuring a 4-input muxing ADC, direct-to-digital temperature sensor, and three temperature-compensated fast comparators. It operates from 3V/5V supplies, supports -40°C to +100°C ambient, and integrates 127-byte EEPROM for security level 1 in a 25-ball BGA package.
For engineers reviewing the DS1852B-00C+ datasheet, DS1852B-00C+ pinout, DS1852B-00C+ application, or DS1852B-00C+ equivalent, key selection criteria include SFF-8472 compliance readiness (with external A0h EEPROM), 2-wire interface timing (100kHz/400kHz), analog input scaling calibration per channel, fast comparator trip-point programmability, and multi-level password-protected memory access.
Technical Context
The DS1852B-00C+ implements a dedicated monitoring architecture for optical transceivers: its 5-channel ADC (VCC, temperature, Bin, Pin, Rin) updates every 13ms nominal with 12-bit effective resolution, while internal scaling registers (C8h–CFh) enable full-scale calibration from 0.2V to 6.5535V per analog input. The 3-input muxing fast comparator delivers sub-10µs response with 8-bit temperature-dependent trip points (D8h–E7h).
Security is enforced via three hierarchical access levels: User (default read-only), Manufacturer Level 1 (customer data table access), and Manufacturer Level 2 (full memory/settings control), each requiring distinct 32-bit passwords stored in protected EEPROM locations (7Bh–7Eh entry, D3h–D6h level 1, factory-programmed level 2). All digital inputs (Din, RSin, Fin, Lin) are mirrored into Table 00h byte 6Eh for host visibility.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: 25-ball BGA (5mm × 5mm, 0.8mm pitch), lead-free (RoHS-compliant).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC (D2, D4, E3) | Power supply input | Three distributed pins reduce IR drop and improve noise immunity for analog/digital sections |
| GND (B3, C2, C4, D3) | Ground reference | Four ground balls provide low-inductance return path for ADC, comparators, and I²C interface |
| SDA (B5) | I²C data line | Open-drain output requires external pull-up; supports wire-OR with other slave devices on same bus |
| SCL (A5) | I²C clock input | Input-only clock line synchronizes all serial transfers; tolerant of 100kHz/400kHz timing |
| Bin (A3) | Analog bias current input | Direct connection to laser diode bias monitor node; scaled by EEPROM register C8h |

| Rin (A2) | Analog RX power input | Connects to receiver photodiode for received optical power; scaled by EEPROM register CAh |
| ASEL (B2) | Address select input | Logic high selects factory-default A2h I²C address; logic low sets address to A0h for SFF-8472 compliance |
| Din (C5) | Digital TX disable input | Mirrored to Table 00h byte 6Eh bit 7 - enables host software to detect hardware TX disable state |
| RSin (B4) | Digital rate select input | Mirrored to Table 00h byte 6Eh bit 4 - signals host whether module is operating at 1G/2G/10G rate |
| Fin (E5) | Digital TX fault input | Mirrored to Table 00h byte 6Eh bit 5 - indicates laser fault condition to host via memory-mapped status |
| Lin (A1) | Digital LOS input | Mirrored to Table 00h byte 6Eh bit 0 - reports loss-of-signal condition from receiver front-end |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Temperature-compensated fast comparators | Three independent 8-bit trip-point registers (D8h–E7h) with temperature-dependent thresholds enable early warning of thermal drift in laser bias or receiver sensitivity |
| Per-channel analog scaling calibration | 16-bit scaling registers (C8h–CFh) allow precise full-scale adjustment for Bin, Pin, Rin, and VCC - eliminating need for external op-amp gain stages |
| Multi-level password security | Three-tiered access (User/Level 1/Level 2) prevents unauthorized modification of calibration data, alarm limits, and device identity - critical for OEM module certification |
| Integrated 2-wire interface | Native I²C slave operation with ACK polling, page writes, and sequential reads simplifies host firmware integration without requiring additional protocol translation logic |
| Real-time A/D update flag | Byte 6Fh (AD updated) provides atomic status bits indicating which of the five monitored parameters (temp, VCC, Bin, Pin, Rin) have been refreshed - avoids stale-data reads in time-critical diagnostics |

FAQ
What is the primary function of the DS1852B-00C+ in an optical transceiver module?
The DS1852B-00C+ serves as a dedicated SFF-8472-compliant transceiver monitor IC. It performs real-time analog measurements (temperature, VCC, laser bias current, TX power, RX power), executes temperature-compensated fast comparisons, manages secure EEPROM storage for calibration and alarms, and exposes all data via a standard 2-wire interface - enabling host systems to implement full diagnostic and safety functions without additional components.
Does the DS1852B-00C+ require an external EEPROM to achieve full SFF-8472 compliance?
Yes, the DS1852B-00C+ implements the SFF-8472 proposal at device address A2h but requires an external EEPROM at address A0h to store the mandatory IEEE identity table and extended diagnostic data. The internal 127-byte EEPROM supports security level 1 and calibration storage, but the A0h external device is necessary for complete GBIC-compliant memory mapping.
How does the DS1852B-00C+ handle temperature compensation for its fast comparators?
The DS1852B-00C+ implements temperature-dependent trip points for its three fast comparators (Bin, Pin, Rin). Each has eight unique temperature-dependent threshold values for Bin and four for Pin/Rin, programmed via EEPROM registers D8h–E7h. This allows trip points to shift with temperature - for example, lowering the TX power alarm threshold as temperature rises - preventing false alarms during normal thermal drift.
What security levels does the DS1852B-00C+ support, and how are they accessed?
The DS1852B-00C+ supports three security levels: User (default, read-only access to IEEE tables and status), Manufacturer Level 1 (read/write to customer data table via 32-bit password at D3h–D6h), and Manufacturer Level 2 (full memory and settings access via factory-programmed password). Access is granted by writing the correct 4-byte password to Table 00h addresses 7Bh–7Eh; passwords are write-only and cleared on power cycle.
Can the DS1852B-00C+ operate from both 3V and 5V supplies, and what is its valid voltage range?
Yes, the DS1852B-00C+ operates from a single supply ranging from +2.7V to +5.5V. It is fully functional across this range, supporting both 3V and 5V system rails without external regulators or level shifters. The analog monitoring circuitry becomes operational above the analog minimum voltage (between digital min and 2.7V), while I²C communication remains active even below that threshold.
