Description

The SS-SFP-SMA breakout board is an SFP+ Host Compliance Test Board (HCTB). It incorporates a standards-compliant 20-pin SFP+
“gold finger” board-edge connector on one end of a printed circuit (PC) board and high-speed SMA connectors on the other end of the
PC board. High-speed transmit and receive signals are routed to the SMA connectors via 50-ohm microstrip transmission lines over
Rogers RO4350 low-loss dielectric for excellent signal integrity at data rates up to 11 Gbps or more. Low-speed signals (Tx_Fault, SDA
SCL, Mod_ABS, and Rx_LOS) are routed to standard 0.1 inch header pins. Tx_Disable, RSO, RS1, VccT, and VccF are routed to test points
and include LED indicators. The breakout boards enable test, debug, and development of SFP+ links.
