CFP4 FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM
Figure 1-1: CFP4 Functional Block Diagram
1 C = 100 in Roman numerals; Centum
The CFP4 module is a hot pluggable form factor designed for optical networking applications. The module size has been chosen to accommodate a wide range of power dissipations and applications. The module electrical interface has been generically specified to allow for supplier-specific customization around various “4 x 25Gbit/s” and 4 x 10Gbit/s interfaces.
A CFP4 module is defined to be hot pluggable. Hot Pluggable is defined as permitting module plugging and unplugging with Vcc applied, with no module damage and predictable module behavior as per the State Transition Diagram. As shown in Figure 5-6: Pin Map Connector Engagement, the Module Absent (MOD_ABS) pin and Module Low Power (MOD_LOPWR) pin are physically guaranteed to be one of the last pins tomate.
The control and status reporting functions between a host and a CFP4 module use non-data control and status reporting pins on the 56-pin connector. The control and status reporting pins work together with the MDIO interface to form a complete HOST-CFP4 management interface. The status reporting pins provide status reporting. There are three (3) Hardware Control pins, two (2) Hardware Alarm pins, and six (6) pins dedicated to the MDIO interface. Specification of the CFP4 hardware signaling pins are given in Ref.[1] with the following changes listed in this document.
Hardware Control Pins
The CFP4 Module supports real-time control functions via hardware pins, listed in
Table 1-1. Specifications of the CFP4 hardware control pins are given in Ref.[1], with the following changes listed below.
Pin # | Symbol | Description | I/O | Logic | “H” | “L” | Pull-up /down |
11 | TX_DIS (PRG_CNTL) | Transmitter Disable (Optionally configurable as Programmable Control after Reset1) | I | 3.3V LVCMOS | Disable2 | Enable2 | Pull – Up3 |
14 | MOD_LOPWR | Module Low Power Mode | I | 3.3V LVCMOS | Low Power | Enable | Pull – Up3 |
16 | MOD_RSTn | Module Reset, Active Low (invert) | I | 3.3V LVCMOS | Enable | Reset | Pull – Down4 |
1 When Programmable Control is configured, MSA Default is TXDIS.
2 Per CFP MSA Management Interface Specification [3] when PRG_CNTL is configured for this pin.
3 Pull-Up resistor (4.7 kOhm to 10 kOhm) is located within the CFP4 module
4 Pull-Down resistor (4.7 kOhm to 10 kOhm) is located within the CFP4 module
Hardware Control Pins: Functional Description
This control pin allows for the system to program certain controls via a Hardware pin. TX Disable Pin (TX_DIS) is optionally configurable as Programmable Control 1 Pin after Reset. When Programmable Control 1 is configured,
the default setting for Control 1 is control of the TX_DIS.
Programmable Control 1 Pin is an input pin from the Host, operating with programmable logic. This pin is pulled up in the CFP4 module. It can be re-programmed over MDIO registers to another MDIO control register while the module is in any steady state except Reset. The CFP MSA specifies that the default function be TX Disable (TX_DIS) with active-high logic. If the other function besides TX_DIS is configured for this pin, there is no way to assert TX disable via a hardware pin.
Not supported in CFP4 module
Not supported in CFP4 module
Not supported in CFP4 module
TX Disable Pin (TX_DIS) is an input pin from the Host, operating with active-high logic. This pin is pulled up in the CFP4. When TX_DIS is asserted, all of the optical outputs inside a CFP4 module shall be turned off. When this pin is de-asserted, transmitters in a CFP4 module shall be turned on according to a predefined TX turned-on process which is defined by the state diagram shown in the “CFP MSA Management Interface Specification”. A maximum time is defined for the transmitter turn-on process. This time is vendor and/or technology specific and the value is stored in a MDIO register.
This pin can be optionally configured as Programmable Control 1 Pin after Reset. One MDIO register which defines if the module supports this optional configuration or not is prepared in NVR region.
Please refer to Ref.[3] for more details.
The CFP4 Module supports alarm hardware pins as listed in Table 1-2. Specifications of the CFP4 hardware alarm pins are given in Ref.[1].

15 | MOD_ABS | Module Absent | O | 3.3V LVCMOS | Absent | Present | Pull Down3 |
1 When Programmable Alarm is configured, MSA Default is HIPWR_ON.
2 Active High per CFP MSA MIS Ref. [3] when PRG_ALRM is configured for this pin.
3 Pull-Down resistor (<100Ohm) is located within the CFP4 module. Pull-up should be located on the host.
Hardware Alarm Pins: Functional Description
This alarm pin allows for the system to program module supported alarms to Hardware pin. The intention is to allow for maximum design and debug flexibility.
Programmable Alarm 1 Pin (PRG_ALRM1) is an output pin to the Host, operating with programmable logic. This pin can be re-programmed over MDIO registers to another MDIO alarm register while the module is in any steady state except Reset. CFP-MSA specifies the default function to be Receiver Loss of Signal (RX_LOS) indicator with active-high logic.
Not supported in CFP4 module
Not supported in CFP4 module
The Receiver Loss of Signal Pin (RX_LOS) is an output pin to the Host, operating with active-high logic. When asserted, it indicates received optical power in the CFP4 module is lower than the expected value. The optical power at which RX_LOS is asserted may be specified by other governing documents and the CFP4 module vendor as the alarm threshold level is application specific. The RX_LOS is the logic OR of the LOS signals from all the input receiving channels in a CFP4 module.
This pin can be optionally configured as Programmable Alarm 1 Pin after Reset. One MDIO register which defines if the module supports this optional configuration or not is prepared in NVRregion.
Please refer to Ref.[3] for more details.
Management Interface Pins
The CFP4 Module supports alarm, control and monitor functions via an MDIO bus. Upon module initialization, these functions are available. CFP4 MDIO electrical interface consists of 6pins including 2pins for MDC and MDIO, 3 Physical Port Address pins and th Global Alarm pin. MDC is the MDIO Clock line driven by the host and MDIO is the bidirectional data line driven by both the host and module depending upon the data directions. The CFP4 MDIO pins are listed in Table 1-3. Specifications of the CFP4 hardware management interface pins are given in Ref.[2] with the following changes listed below.

Hardware Signaling Pin Timing Requirements
Per specifications given in Ref.[2]
2 The MSA recommends host termination resistor value of 560 Ohms, which provides the best balance of performance for both open-drain and active tri-state driver in the module. Host termination resistor values below 560Ohms are allowed, to a minimum of 250 Ohms, but this degrades active driver performance. Host termination resistor values above 560 Ohms are allowed but this degrades open-drain driver performance.
The above drawings, with maximum host load capacitance of 200pF, also define the measurement set-up for module MDC timing verification. The capacitor in the drawing indicates the stray capacitance on the line. Don’t put any physical capacitor on the line.
The CFP4 module utilizes MDIO IEEE Std 802.3TM-2012 clause 45 [8] for its management interface. The CFP4 MDIO implementation is defined in a separate document entitled, “CFP MSA Management Interface Specification” [3]. When multiple CFP4 modules are connected via a single bus, a particular CFP4 module can be selected by using the Physical Port Address pins.
Per specifications given in Ref. [1]
POWER SUPPLIES AND POWER DISSIPATION
The CFP4 module power supply and maximum power dissipation specifications are defined in Table 4-1.
The inrush current on the 3.3V power supply shall be limited by the CFP4 module to assure a maximum rate of change defined in Table 4-1.
The CFP4 module shall limit the turn-off current to assure a maximum rate of change per Table 4-1.
A host system will supply stable power to the module and guarantee that noise & ripple on the power supply does not exceed that defined in Table 4-1. A possible example of a power supply filtering circuit that might be used on the host system is a PI C-L-C filter. A module will meet all electrical requirements and remain fully operational in the presence of noise on the 3.3V power supply which is less than that defined in the table 4-1. The component values of power supply noise filtering circuit, such as the capacitor and inductor, must be selected such that maximum Inrush and Turn-off current does not cause voltage transients which exceed the absolute maximum power supply voltage, all specified in Table 4-1.

1 Maximum current per pin shall not exceed 500mA. Those power classes for which the maximum current per pin exceeds 500mA will require agreement from an electrical connector supplier.
2 For modules which present a small capacitive load to the host during hot plug (C <= 500nF), the portion of the inrush current due to charging the capacitor can be excluded from the total inrush current which must meet the maximum limit specification.
Per specifications given in Ref. [1].

Mechanical Overview
The CFP4 module is designed to be plugged into a host cage assembly with a riding heat sink. The cage assembly is fabricated within the host system and the CFP4 module may be inserted at a later time. Shown in Figure 5-1 is a drawing of the CFP4 module and CFP4 modules inserted into a host quad-port cage system with a riding heat sink.
Figure 5-1: CFP4 Module & CFP4 Module Mated in Host Quad Port System
Figure 5-2: Host Cage System and Mounting Method Overview
* Other mounting options are possible.
The CFP4 MSA specifies a two piece electrical connector for superior electrical performance and superior mechanical integrity. Shown in Figure 5-3 is the module plug connector assembly which is contained as a sub- component within the CFP4 module.
Figure 5-3: CFP4 Module Plug Connector Assembly
The CFP4 MSA specifies a two piece electrical connector for superior electrical performance and superior mechanical integrity. Shown in Figure 5-4 and Figure 5-5 are overview drawings of the host connector cover and the host connector assembly. These assemblies shall be built into the host system. The Host Connector shall be covered by the Host Connector Cover Assembly.
Figure 5-4: CFP4 Quad Port Host Connector Cover Assembly
Figure 5-5: CFP4 Host Connector Assembly
The module plug connector has a physical offset of metal contact pins to insure that certain signals make engagement between the module and host prior to other signals. There are four categories of pin engagement. A map of the connector engagement is shown in Figure 5-6. The connector pin map engagement order is guaranteed by the physical offset built into the module plug connector. The host connector has all contacts on the same plane without offset.
Figure 5-6: CFP4 Pin Map Connector Engagement
An overview of the CFP4 module dimensions is show in the below Figure 5-7. The CFP4 maximum header height is specified as shown in Figure 5-7. The detailed CFP4 module dimensions are located in a separate document hosted on the CFP MSA Website (www.cfp-msa.org). All mechanical hardware dimensions in this document are for reference only. Normative dimensions are found in the latest published CFP4 baseline drawing.
Figure 5-7: CFP4 Module Dimension Overview
The mechanical surface of flat top CFP4 module which may be in contact with the host riding heat sink assembly shall be compliant with specifications in Table 5-1. The parameters listed in Table 5-1 define the CFP4 module thermal interface and may be used by host system designers to specify the host cage assembly opening and riding heat sink for optimizing host system thermal management performance. Surface flatness and roughness parameters are specified per CFP4 module power class (see Table 4-1) to allow for optimization of module thermal performance and cost. Non-compliance to these specifications may cause significant thermal performance degradation. Only the top surface of the module is assumed to be used for heat transfer.

As described in Section 1, the CFP4 module shall be hot pluggable. A consequence of the CFP4 module being hot pluggable is that an end user be equipped to insert and extract the module in the field. The required forces are specified below in Table 5-2.
Table 5-2: CFP4 Module Insertion, Extraction Forces
Max. | Unit | Notes | |
Maximum Insertion Force | 60 | N | Without Heat Sink |
Maximum Extraction Force | 50 | N | Without Heat Sink |
Minimum Module Retention Force | 90 | N | No damage to module below 90 N |
Minimum Cage Retention Force | 180 | N | No damage to cage latch below 180 N |
Minimum rating for host/module connector insertion/extraction is 200 cycles.
* Typical increase in those forces by adding heat sink is below 5N.
Host System Dimensions
The detailed CFP4 host system dimensions including host board layout are located in a separate document hosted on the CFP MSA Website (www.cfp-msa.org).
Riding Heat Sink
The riding heat sink and host cage top surface designs given in the latest published CFP4 baseline drawing are
only exemplary and are not required for compliance with the CFP4 MSA. Cage opening and heat sink specifications vary with host system design and thermal performance requirements. The heat sink/cage designs are therefore host system dependent and may be optimized by the system designer.
The riding heat sink illustrated in Figure 5-8 is for example only. The recommended material for the heat sink is aluminum.
The mounting dimensions for the Riding Heat Sink are shown below in Figure 5-9. The actual dimensions of the heat sink and cage top opening may be optimized for the particular host system.

The CFP4 connector has 56 pins which are arranged in Top and Bottom rows. The CFP4 connector supports the following configurations:
Four (4) 25Gbit/s TX lanes plus four (4) 25Gbit/s RX lanes;
The CFP4 pin-orderings are shown in Table 5-5. The CFP4 TOP pin-out definition uses the same pin-ordering convention as CFP and CFP2. There is also an optional CFP4 TOP ALT1 pin-out definition which follows the QSFP pin-ordering convention. All modules must support the baseline TOP pin-out definition. The optional TOP ALT1 pin-definition can be switched to after power-up by using MDIO commands to switch the pin-ordering.
For details, please refer to “CFP MSA Management Interface Specification”
Detailed description of the bottom row pins 1 through pin 28 are given in Table 5-6. Note the REFCLK pins are located on the top row along with the high-speed TX and RX data pins. A single-ended REFCLK is an
option. The CFP4 connector pin map orientation is shown in Figure 5-10.

Note 1: Link budget = Minimum penalty [function of minimum reach] + minimum loss Note 2: * For potential future application; Not currently a standard nor MSA.
Note 3: Bail latch without any color (including no black bands; metal only) indicates a module that does not fit into any of the defined categories.
The CFP4 module should be clearly labeled. The complete labeling need not be visible when the CFP4 module is installed in the host cage assembly. A recessed area on the bottom of the CFP4 module, as shown in Figure 5-11, is the recommended location for module label.
