FWLF1631RXX DWDM SFP Preliminary Product Specification – November 2006
Finisar
IX. Serial Communication Protocol
All Finisar SFPs support the 2-wire serial communication protocol to provide module ID
information as outlined in the SFP MSA
1
. These SFPs use an Atmel AT24C01A 128 byte
E
2
PROM with an address of A0h. For details on interfacing with the E
2
PROM, see the
Atmel data sheet titled “AT24C01A/02/04/08/16 2-Wire Serial CMOS E
2
PROM.”

Finisar SFPs also support diagnostic features as described in Finisar Applications Note AN-
2030
4
and SFF-8472
5
, “Digital Diagnostic Monitoring Interface for Optical Transceivers”.
A controller IC that monitors system parameters such as laser current, module temperature,
transmitter power, and received power is accessible at address A2H. In addition, Finisar’s
DWDM SFPs provide extended set of ID information and diagnostic features as described
in the DWDM SFP MSA
