a. T
FAULT
is an open collector/drain output, which should be pulled up with a 4.7k – 10k Ohms
resistor on the host board if intended for use. Pull up voltage should be between 2.0V to Vcc +
0.3V. A high output indicates a transmitter fault caused by either the TX bias current or the TX
output power exceeding the preset alarm thresholds. A low output indicates normal operation.
In the low state, the output is pulled to <0.8V.
b. Laser output disabled on TDIS >2.0V or open, enabled on TDIS <0.8V
c. Should be pulled up with 4.7kΩ – 10kΩ on host board to a voltage between 2.0V and 3.6V.
MOD_ABS pulls line low to indicate module is plugged in.
d. LOS is open collector output. Should be pulled up with 4.7kΩ – 10kΩ on host board to a volt-
age between 2.0V and 3.6V. Logic 0 indicates normal operation; logic 1 indicates loss of sig-
nal.
