Figure 3: BCM5221 3.3V 100BASE-FX Interface
Figure 3 illustrates only the termination scheme for the 100BASE-FX interface. Refer to the fiber transceiver manufacturer’s
guidelines for transceiver power supply connection and filtering.
The TD+/- and RD+/- signal traces between PHY and the fiber transceiver should each be routed with a characteristic im-
pedance of 50Ω (100Ω differential) to match the termination network impedance given in Figure 3.
