TX_Fault
Transmitter Fault.
b
b. 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 exceed-
ing the preset alarm thresholds. A low output indicates normal operation. In the low state, the output is
pulled to <0.8V.
3
TX_Disable
Transmitter Disable. Laser output disabled on high or open.
c
c. Laser output disabled on TDIS >2.0V or open, enabled on TDIS <0.8V

on host board to a voltage between 2.0V and 3.6V. MOD_ABS
pulls line low to indicate module is plugged in.

on host board to a voltage
between 2.0V and 3.6V. Logic 0 indicates normal operation; logic 1 indicates loss of signal.
