SFP BREAKOUT BOARD WITH PI/ARDUINO
Design goal for this is to use a Raspberry Pi or Arduino device to control, signals sending out and receiving in from SFP optic.**
- SFP and SFP+ optics for this design, can use various wavelength optics, 850nm, 1310nm, 1550nm. (default 850nm)
- Use RPI/Arduino power supply to power board, which SPF board will only need 3.3V @ max 0.3A (0.99W max)
- PI 3B+ models and above can handle 500mA of power on 3.3V power pins per:
pinout.xyz/pinout/pin1_3v3_power/
- Arduino - MAXIMUM current per +3.3V pin is 50mA
Communication between PI/Arduino to use SDA/SCL I2C or using SER-DES ics to communicate from Pi/Arduino to optic TX/RX pins.
