Description
The HFBR-0508 Series consists of a fber-optic transmitter and receiver operating at a 650 nm wavelength (red). The HFBR-1528 transmitter is an LED in a low cost plastic housing designed to effciently couple power into 200 µm diameter HCS and 1 mm diameter POF. The HFBR-2528 receiver incorporates a PIN detector and digital output IC compatible with CMOS and TTL logic families.

FEATUREs
• Data transmission at signal rates of dc to 10 MBd
• Up to 50 meters distances with 1 mm 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 specifed for variations in temperature, power supply, and fber 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 fber

APPLICATIONs
• Industrial control and factory automation
• Serial feld 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
