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
