Board 1 Construction
Initial Board 1 Troubleshooting No Success with Tx or Rx High-Pitched Noise and a Smoking Ferrite Bead…Good? (We’re Thinking No) Short Discovered Between Power Supply and Ground (Not from Layout) Power Supply Questions
Board 1 Construction – Take 2 The Three’s Tried-and-True Strategy: Start Over Results: Nothing Breaks During Testing!!!!!
Transmitter Testing Left and Right Inputs to VCSEL Signals Want to Be Eyes… Not Quite There VCSEL Not Lasing
Receiver Testing ROSA Output is Desirable Eye No Output From Limiting Amplifier Limiting Amplifier Extremely Hot at First
Troubleshooting Conclusions Disastrous First Attempt at Board 1 No Shorts in Current Board Problem Could be a Design Issue or a Component Problem Possible Theory for Receiver: Maxim Chip Overheated and is Toast?
