EVB9351-SFP

The KDPOF EVB9351-SFP is an automotive optical 1000BASE-RHC small form factor pluggable (SFP) module. It is based on the KDPOF KD1053 PHY and KD9351 FOT transceivers. The KD9351 IC (7 mm x 8 mm LGA-36) implements the PMD sublayer of the physical layer; while the KD1053 (7 mm x 7 mm QFN-56), the PCS and PMA sublayers, as defined in IEEE Std 802.3bvTM-2017. The EVB9351-SFP can operate at 1000 and 100 Mbps. 

The EVB9351-SFP module supports 1000BASE-X, 100BASE-X and SGMII at the SFP host data interface. The KD1053 can be configured, and its registers accessed, thanks to the I2C bus at the SFP management interface (MSA SFF-8472). This module has a narrow-width profile, which allows inserting two of them in dual or multiple SFP slots, avoiding mechanical issues. 

The EVB9351-SFP is an excellent evaluation vehicle for the implementation of a 1000BASE-RHC physical layer based on the KDPOF KD9351 and KD1053, targeted to automotive OEM, TIER and test houses. Moreover, the board is a reference design for suppliers of test tools who want to integrate optical Ethernet in their test setups, without upgrading their test equipment. This module can replace the bulkier evaluation boards in demonstration setups, resulting in more compact demos. Design documentation as well as SDK software is provided together with the board.
