2.5.3.2
If the MCP2140 is to be used, then the Optical Transceivers’s RXD signal needs to be
conditioned to be used as the input to the MCP2140’s RXPD/RXPDREF signals.
Figure 2-7 shows the circuit that is used to shape the waveform of the optical Trans-
ceiver’s RXD output. This is done to ensure that the RXD pulse width does not exceed
the specifications of the MCP2140 RXPD input (IR131A) (refer to Parameter IR131A
in the MCP2140 Data Sheet, DS21790). The resistor divider R18 and R13 sets the
RXPDREF reference threshold. Transistor Q6 (MMUN2111LT1) has internal resistors.
If you wish to evaluate a simple PNP device, Q6 can be replaced and resistors for R15
and R20 may need to be added. If R20 is added, do not forget to cut the trace that
shorts out the resistor. Modifications to this waveshaping circuit may be required
depending on your operating requirements (voltage, temperature, etc.).

To allow easy access to many of the system signals, two headers (HD1 and HD2) are
on one of the edges of the board. This allows the signals from the MCP215X or
MCP2140 to be easily accessed and connected into an existing application for initial
development or proof-of-concept.
