7.2 CHANNEL TRANSFER (INSERTION LOSS)

7.2.1 TEST REFERENCE: HOST BOARD AND MODULE CHANNELS COMBINED WITHOUT CONNECTOR

155mm total host channel length

- 125mm printed circuit board length - 30mm for stacked connector lead-frame

25mm module channel length

Comments: A. This example allows a 2.2dB insertion loss margin for a stacked connector and other behavioral discontinuities resulting from PCB channel imperfections (i.e. board fabrication impedance tolerances, routing vias, bga pads, etc ...)

B. 0.5dB loss is informatively budgeted in the specification for a single height connector.

C. The specification does not address the amount of allowable ripple on the insertion loss

curve, especially one that falls right on the compliance curve. Molex's position is that some ripple is tolerable provided that it does not significantly exceed the worst-case insertion loss at the maximum frequency of interest (7GHz).

LRM (140MHz max.), TRL (140MHz to 17.5GHz)

8.8 MEASUREMENT REFERENCE PLANE

The on-fixture calibration structures are designed to remove the effects of an SMA and 35mm of uncoupled strip-line trace. These effects are removed on both the host and module portions of the test fixture. After calibration, the measurement reference plane is located at the edge of the connector footprint as defined by the silkscreen on the host board side and 3mm from the contact pads as defined by the silkscreen on the module side.

8.9 TEST FIXTURE FUNCTIONALITY The test boards provide for testing the high-speed transmit and receive pairs as defined in the SFP MSA specification. These pairs are available for connection to test equipment on both the upper port and the lower port of the 2x1 connector. A total of four pairs are provided. Within a port, upper or lower, one pair contains a best-case launch condition and the other a worst-case launch condition. The lower port contains an extra 15mm of coupled stripline traces to route from the measurement reference plane to the front of the connector..

Upper port terminals 12 and 13 best-case condition, terminals 18 and 19 worst-case condition

Lower port terminals 12 and 13 worst-case condition, terminals 18 and 19 best-case condition
