Description
The ZL60038 is a compact optical receiver designed
for 650-nm plastic optical fiber (POF) based optical
communication systems with data rates up to
250 Mbps.
The optical receiver is assembled in a single compact
TO-46 package and contains an optimized large-area
Si PIN photodiode in combination with a
transimpedance amplifier (TIA) with automatic gain
control (AGC). The receiver operates using a single
3.3 V power supply. It is designed for use with large-
core POF with core sizes up to 980 µm. Such optical
fiber types are often found in Automotive, Industrial
and Residential networks.
Reliability assurance is based on Telcordia GR-468-
CORE and the part is compliant to the EU directive
2002/95/EC issued 27 January 2003 [RoHS].
