Data Sheet
Description
The HFBR-0508 Series consists of a fiber-optic trans-
mitter and receiver operating at a 650 nm wave-
length (red). The HFBR-1528 transmitter is an
LED in a low cost plastic housing designed to ef-
ficiently couple power into 200 µm diameter HCS
and 1 mm diameter POF. The HFBR-2528 receiver incor­
porates a PIN detec­tor and digital output IC compat­ible
with CMOS and TTL logic families.
HFBR-0508 links operate from DC to 10 MBd at distances
up to 50 meters with 1 mm POF and up to 500 meters
with 200 µm HCS^®. No minimum link distances are re-
quired when using recom­mended circuits, simplifying
design.
Versatile Link components can be interlocked (N-
plexed together) to minimize space and to provide
dual connec­tions with the duplex connectors. Up to
eight packages can be interlocked and inserted into a
printed circuit board.
POF and HCS are available in pre-connectored lengths or
can be easily field-terminated. A single transmitter drive
current for POF and HCS allows both fibers to be used
with a single design.
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 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 re-
quired
• 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 con-
nectors, 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
