AN-684 Subscribe Send Feedback
This document shows an example layout design that implements a 4 x 25/28 Gbps CFP2 module interfacethat meets the insertion and return loss mask requirements proposed in the working clause draft version8.0 for CEI-28G-VSR.
The common electrical interface CEI-28G-VSR implementation architecture (IA) for short reach channelsis intended for next generation 100 Gbps chip - to - optical module applications. CFP2 is a pluggable opticalmodule that uses CEI-28G-VSR as its electrical interface (as defined by the CFP Multi-Source Agreement(MSA)member companies). CFP2 also defines themechanical form factor for a 100Gbps optical transceivermodule targeted for Ethernet and OTN (Optical Transport Network) applications.
CFP2 provides an industry standard to develop next generation 100 G interfaces with lower power andgreater port density compared to previous generation CFP optical modules.
For more information, refer to the CEI-28G-VSR working clause specification. Document numberOIF2010.404.08.

Stratix V GT to CFP2 Interface Layout DesignThe TX and RX channels are connected directly to the CFP2 connector with approximately 5.5 inches ofdifferential trace routing on the top and bottom layer of the board. DC blocking capacitors are included inthe optical module for both the TX and RX traces. Nominal trace impedance is controlled at approximately100Ω differential and the board material used is Panasonic Megtron-6.

The BGA pads, signal vias, and CFP2 trace to pad interfaces are large discontinuity sources in the channel.Ansys HFSS (High Frequency Structural Simulator) 3-D field solver simulation is used to optimize the BGAbreakout and CFP2 interface design. The trace impedance is kept within ±10% of the nominal 100Ω

Example Design Channel PerformanceThe CEI-28G-VSR working clause defines several mask requirements for the channel, including insertionloss, return loss, and differential-to-common mode conversion. Because it is difficult to verify electricalparameters of a full channel in a system, the working clause also defines a Host Compliance Board (HCB)with test points for verifying the host-to-module channel performance at various test points.

For example, TP1a and TP4a define the measurement points and the associated mask requirements for thehost-to-module electrical signal performance for insertion loss, return loss, and differential-to-commonmode conversion. For more information about these definitions, refer to the CEI-28G-VSR working clausespecification (document number OIF2010.404.08).
Simulation Results for Stratix V GT to CFP2 Connector Layout DesignAnsysHFSS (High Frequency Structural Simulator) simulation results for the insertion loss (SDD21), returnloss (SDD11) and differential-to-commonmode conversion (SDC11) of the channel with theCFP2 connectorincluded are shown in the following figures. The simulation models the HCB for validating the channellayout against the CEI-28G-VSR defined masks.

Figure 13: Insertion Loss versus CEI-28G-VSR Mask Requirements
The SDD21 resides within the HCB minimum and maximum insertion loss masks as defined by the CEI-28G-VSR specification. This insertion loss meets the complete VSR channel (host board + connector +optical module) mask requirement with ample margin to accommodate the additional loss of an insertedCFP2 optical module. Note that the complete channel with the optical module is not simulated.
Similarly, the figures below show that the return loss and differential-to-common mode conversion bothmeet their respective masks as defined by the CEI-28G-VSR requirement.
