Group Management Plan

• GANTT Charts, presented weekly
• Management structure, defined by group
• Resource Allocation, defined by group
• Time
• Personnel, expertise
• Budget (350 per group)
• Plan initially for 2 board fabrication runs

GANTT Charts

• Tasks and milestones as a function of time
• X axis, dates
• Y axis, tasks
• Use bars (color 1) to identify planned task
  execution
• Use bars (color 2) to identify revised planned
  task execution
• Use bars (color 3) to identify on-time progress
• Use bars (color 4) to identify late progress
• Use clear milestone markers for each task
• Use clear completion marker at the end of each
  bar for each task when the task is completed

Background I

• Study 4006 C Fall 2002 Group information (see
  class website)
• Note these reports cannot be used as
  references, only as guides, as all informatio is
  unreviewed, and thus, suspect
• Develop a specification table for your TxRx
  modules
• Parameter list
• Values for parameters
• Must be compliant with IEEE 802.3z standard
• Guides commercial data sheets, e.g. Infineon,
  Agilent. Good keywords GBIC, Opto, 850 nm

5
Background II

• Develop a component specification table
• VCSELS, PDs (specify parameters and
  implications)
• Passives
• Connectors (including power supply)
• Note be sure to include physical layout in the
  specs
• Study MAXIM ICs and evaluation kits
• (www.maxim-ic.com)
• Laser driver MAX 3287
• Transimpedance amplifier (TIA) MAX 3266
• Limiting amplifier (LA) MAX 3264
• Evaluation kits for each MAXIM part listed above
