- Solution for U es Bee to Fiber Optic Converter
- Welcome to the training module on Solution for USB to Fiber Optic Converter . To help with this, we will discuss U S B technology, Fiber Optic technology, Solution block diagram and Recommend parts.
- The Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a common communication interface standard. USB supports hot-swap, which means it can be installed and removed without rebooting computers. This advantage makes it become the most popular connection standard for the consumer devices such as PCs, digital cameras, printers and media players. With the development of USB technology, its data transfer rate has increased from 1.5Mbit/s to 4.8Gbit/s. Additionally, the emergence of USB OTG (On-The-Go) technology makes it possible to realize communication between devices without any host, thus increasing the flexibility of USB applications. However, the limit on transfer distance of USB narrows its applications: the maximum cable length of USB1.1 is 5 meter for full speed. Even the USB 2.0 permits several levels of USB hubs in a long chain, the distance can’t be longer than 100 meters.
- In recent years it has become apparent that fiber-optics are steadily replacing copper wire as an appropriate means of communication signal transmission. Fiber optic communication uses light pulses to transmit information through an optic fiber. The process of communicating using fiber-optics involves the following basic steps: Creating the optical signal involving the use of a transmitter, relaying the signal along the fiber, ensuring that the signal does not become too distorted or weak, receiving the optical signal, and converting it into an electrical signal. Using fiber optic cable, optical communications have enabled the communications links to be made over much greater distances and with much lower levels of loss in the transmission medium and possibly most important of all, fiber optic communications has enabled much higher data rates to be accommodated.
- As we mentioned before, the biggest limitation of USB transmission is that its maximum range is 5 meters only. This USB to fiber optic converter boosts the connectivity of USB signals. This allows users to control cameras, printers, scanners, storage devices, and other USB devices remotely from computers through the use of fiber optics. Furthermore, many commercial and industrial environments present electrical noise and ground differential challenges, especially over long distances. Fiber optic links solve these problems by providing high bandwidth connections that are impervious to noise and ground differentials. The picture here illustrates the function of USB to Fiber Optic converter. The user can access different USB devices transparently, just like accessing them through USB cable.
- In our solution, the USB-to-fiber optic converter is made up of USB physical interface, optical transceiver module and control module, as well as power supply and auxiliary circuit. USB interface converts USB differential signal into normal signal that can be processed by FPGA. Usually, a USB transceiver is used to achieve this function. Optical transceiver implements conversion between optical and electronic signals, and then sends out the converted signals. Control module is a FPGA chip used for packing the data from optical transceiver and unpacking the data from USB transceiver.
- Our solution is based on FPGA design. Due to the limitation of USB specification, the USB electrical signal is unable to be converted into light signal directly through optic transceivers. However, the USB data packet has to be unpacked and re-processed by the FPGA; on the other direction, the FPGA analysis the signal from optic transceiver, pack the data and sends it to USB transceiver.
- The Cyclone III family introduces a number of new milestones for the low cost FPGA industry. Number one, it is the first announced and available low cost 65nm FPGA in the industry. Number two, it is the first low cost FPGA which offers more than 100K logic elements, or about 2X the competing FPGAs. Number three, it is the first FPGA ever manufactured on a low power process. The power benefits of this engineering strategy are substantial, with up to 50% lower power than Altera’s previous architecture, and up to 75% lower power than competing low cost FPGAs. If you take the largest Cyclone III device, the EP3C120, its typical static power consumption at 85 degrees C is 170 milliwatts. If you compare this to the leading 90-nm competing device, you have a static power consumption of 480 mW for their largest device. However, you need two of them to implement the same functionality, so the total power of an equivalent solution is 960 mW. They are even more significant when you look at the unprecedented combination of power consumption, high functionality and low cost that come together in this architecture. By increasing the logic density to 120K logic elements, tripling the available RAM, and doubling the amount of dedicated multiplier circuitry in the device, you can now implement designs in low cost FPGAs that you never imagined possible.
- One end of the USB transceiver is connected to USB connector for USB communication with the host PC. Another end is connected to FPGA for signal processing. The major function of the USB transceiver is to drive and receive USB differential signals on the USB cable. It is able to convert the differential voltage to digital logic signal levels which can be processed by FPGA. Meanwhile, it can also convert logic levels to different USB signals. The USB transceivers we selected are compliant with the Universal Serial Bus Specification Rev. 2.0. These devices can transmit and receive serial data at both full-speed (12-Mbit/s) and low-speed (1.5-Mbit/s) data rates.
- The fiber optic transceiver interfaces with optical fiber cables and the FPGA. The fiber cables can be either signal mode or multimode. The transceiver includes both a transmitter and a receiver in the same component. These are arranged in parallel so that they can operate independently of each other. Both the receiver and the transmitter have their own circuitry so that they can handle transmissions in both directions. The transmitter transforms the electrical signal into fiber optic signal, and the receiver is used to convert the optical signal back to an electrical signal.
- Here we list some recommendation for other functional blocks.
