Description

The HFBR-0508Z Series consists of a fiber-optic transmitter and receiver operating at a 650nm wavelength (red). The HFBR-1528Z transmitter is an LED in a low cost plastic housing designed

to efficiently couple power into 200µm diameter HCS and 1mm diameter POF. The HFBR-2528Z

receiver incorporates a PIN detec tor and digital output IC compatible with CMOS and TTL logic

families.

Features

• RoHS-compliant

• Data transmission at signal rates of dc to 10MBd

• Up to 50 meters distances with 1mm Plastic Optical Fiber (POF)

• Up to 500 meters distances with 200 µm Hard Clad Silica (HCS®)

• Wide dynamic range receiver allows operation from zero to maximum link distance with a single transmitter drive current

• Link distances specified for variations in temperature, power supply, and fiber attenuation

• DC coupled receiver with CMOS/TTL output for easy designs: No data encoding or digitizing circuitry required

• Pulse width distortion controlled to limit distortion from low duty cycle or burst mode data

• High noise immunity

• Compatible with Avago’s versatile link family of connectors, for easy termination of fiber

Applications

• Industrial control and factory automation

• Serial field buses

• Intra-system links; board-to-board, rack-to-rack

• Extension of RS-232, RS-485

• Elimination of ground loops

• High voltage isolation

• Reduces voltage transient susceptibility
