4. Minimum value is informative only E not the principal indicator of signal strength.
5. Hit Ratio 5 x 10-5 hits/samples

5: Low speed signaling other than SCL and SDA is based on Low Voltage TTL (LVTTL) operating at Vcc. Vcc refers to the generic supply voltages of VccTx, VccRx, Vcc_host or Vcc1.
Hosts shall use a pull-up resistor connected to Vcc_host on each of the 2-wire interface SCL (clock), SDA (data), and all low speed status outputs. The SCL and SDA is a hot plug interface that may support a bus topology.

6: ModPrsL is pulled up to Vcc_Host on the host board and grounded in the module. The ModPrsL is asserted “Low” when inserted and deasserted “High” when the module is physically absent from the host connector.
7: IntL is an output pin. When IntL is “Low”, it indicates a possible module operational fault or a status critical to the host system. The host identifies the source of the interrupt using the 2-wire serial interface. The IntL pin is an open collector output and shall be pulled to host supply voltage on the host board. The INTL pin is deasserted “High” after completion of reset, when byte 2 bit 0 (Data Not Ready) is read with a value of ‘0’ and the flag field is read (see SFF-8636).
8: The LPMode pin shall be pulled up to Vcc in the module. The pin is a hardware control

used to put modules into a low power mode when high. By using the LPMode pin and a combination of the Power_override, Power_set and High_Power_Class_Enable software control bits (Address A0h, byte 93 bits 0,1,2), the host controls how much power a module can dissipate.

9: Rx(n)(p/n) are module receiver data outputs. Rx(n)(p/n) are AC-coupled 100 Ohm differential lines that should be terminated with 100 Ohm differentially at the Host ASIC(SerDes). The AC coupling is inside the module and not required on the Host board. For operation at 28 Gb/s the relevant standards (e.g., OIF CEI v3.1) define the signal requirements on the high-speed differential lines. For operation at lower rates, refer to the relevant standards.
Note: Due to the possibility of insertion of legacy QSFP and QSFP+ modules into a host

designed for higher speed operation, it is recommended that the damage threshold of the host input be at least 1600 mV peak to peak differential. Output squelch for loss of optical input signal, hereafter Rx Squelch, is required and shall function as follows. In the event of the optical signal on any channel becoming equal to or less than the level required to assert LOS, then the receiver data output for that channel shall be squelched or disabled. In the squelched or disabled state output impedance levels are maintained while the differential voltage swing shall be less than 50 mVpp. In normal operation the default case has Rx Squelch active. Rx Squelch can be deactivated using Rx Squelch Disable through the 2-wire serial interface. Rx Squelch Disable is an optional function. For specific details refer to SFF-8636.
10: Tx(n)(p/n) are module transmitter data inputs. They are AC-coupled 100 Ohm differential lines with 100 Ohm differential terminations inside the module. The AC coupling is inside the module and not required on the Host board. For operation at 28 Gb/s the relevant standards (e.g., OIF CEI v3.1) define the signal requirements on the high-speed differential lines. For operation at lower rates, refer to the relevant standards. Due to the possibility of insertion of modules into a host designed for lower speed operation, the damage threshold of the module input shall be at least 1600 mV peak A peak differential. Produzione squelch, hereafter Tx Squelch, for loss of input signal, hereafter Tx LOS, is an optional function. Where implemented it shall function as follows. In the event of the differential, peak-to-peak electrical signal on any channel becomes less than 50 mVpp, then the transmitter optical output for that channel shall be squelched or disabled and the associated TxLOS flag set. Where squelched, the transmitter OMA shall be less than or equal to -26 dBm and when disabled the transmitter power shall be less than or equal to -30 dBm. For applications, e.g. Ethernet, where the transmitter off condition is defined in terms of average power, disabling the transmitter is recommended and for applications, e.g. InfiniBand, where the transmitter off condition is defined in terms of OMA, squelching the transmitter is recommended. In module operation, where Tx Squelch is implemented, the default case has Tx Squelch active. Tx Squelch can be deactivated using Tx Squelch Disable through the 2-wire serial interface. Tx Squelch Disable is an optional function. For specific details refer to SFF- 8636.
