1340-Type Lightwave Receiver
Electrostatic Discharge
Data Sheet
January 2000
Caution: This device is susceptible to damage as a result of electrostatic discharge (ESD). Take proper
precautions during both
handling and testing. Follow
EIA*
Standard
EIA-625.
Although protection circuitry is designed into the device, take proper precautions to avoid exposure to ESD.
Agere employs a human-body model (HBM) for ESD susceptibility testing and protection-design evaluation. ESD
voltage thresholds are dependent on the critical parameters used to define the model. A standard HBM (resistance
= 1.5 kΩ, capacitance = 100 pF) is widely used and, therefore, can be used for comparison purposes. The HBM
ESD threshold established for the 1340 receiver is ±1000 V.
Receiver Processing
The 1340-type receiver devices can withstand normal wave-soldering processes. The complete receiver module is
not hermetically sealed; therefore, it should not be immersed in or sprayed with any cleaning solution or solvents.
The process cap and fiber pigtail jacket deformation temperature is 85 °C. The receiver pins can be wave-soldered
at maximum temperature of 250 °C for 10 seconds.
Installation Considerations
Although the receiver features a robust design, care should be used during handling. The optical connector should
be kept free from dust, and the process cap should be kept in place as a dust cover when the device is not con-
nected to a cable. If contamination is present on the optical connector, the use of canned air with an extension tube
should remove any debris. Other cleaning procedures are identified in the technical note,
Cleaning Fiber-Optic
Assemblies
(TN95-010LWP).
