DESCRIPTION
The Avago Technologies AFBR-59SMI2Z transceiver provides system designers with the ability to support serial communication with baud rates of up to 250 MBd over 2.2-mm jacketed standard polymer optical fiber (POF) with 1-mm core diameter and NA 0.5. The SMI optical interconnect with its push-pull positive latching, with safe-release mechanism, provides secure, safe and easy to mate and de-mate optical connection for miscellaneous industrial and medical applications. Transmitter The transmitter consists of a 650-nm LED, which is controlled by a fully integrated driver IC. The LED driver operates at 3.3V. LED and driver IC are packaged in an optical subassembly. The optimized lens system of the optical subassembly couples the emitted optical power very efficiently into 1-mm core POF cable. Receiver The receiver utilizes a fully integrated single chip solution, which provides excellent immunity to EMI and fast transient dV/dt rejection. The receiver directly converts light to a digital LVDS output signal and operates at 3.3-V nominal supply.
