Task List Group management plan Background studies Link budget: optical/electrical Build, test learning Rx board Order components for transceiver (TxRx) module Design, circuit schematic, layout of full duplex TxRx module (Run 1) Build, test transceiver module, Run 1 Alignment tolerance of Rx on TxRx module, Run 1 Analysis of results, Run 1 Design, circuit schematic, layout of full duplex TxRx module (Run 2, optional) Build, test transceiver module (Run 2, optional) Alignment tolerance of Rx on TxRx module (Run 2, optional) Analysis of results (Run 2, optional)

Group Management Plan GANTT Charts, presented weekly Management structure, defined by group Resource Allocation, defined by group Time Personnel, expertise Budget ($350 per group) Plan initially for 2 board fabrication runs

GANTT Charts Tasks and milestones as a function of time X axis, dates Y axis, tasks Use bars (color 1) to identify planned task execution Use bars (color 2) to identify revised planned task execution Use bars (color 3) to identify on-time progress Use bars (color 4) to identify late progress Use clear milestone markers for each task Use clear completion marker at the end of each bar for each task when the task is completed

Background I Study 4006 C Fall 2002 Group information (see class website) Note: these reports cannot be used as references, only as guides, as all informatio is unreviewed, and thus, suspect Develop a specification table for your TxRx modules Parameter list Values for parameters Must be compliant with IEEE 802.3z standard Guides: commercial data sheets, e.g. Infineon, Agilent. Good keywords: GBIC, Opto, 850 nm

Background II Develop a component specification table VCSELS, PDs (specify parameters and implications) Passives Connectors (including power supply) Note: be sure to include physical layout in the specs Study MAXIM ICs and evaluation kits (www.maxim-ic.com) Laser driver: MAX 3287 Transimpedance amplifier (TIA): MAX 3266 Limiting amplifier (LA): MAX 3264 Evaluation kits for each MAXIM part listed above
