DESCRIPTION
The Versatile Link series is a complete family of fiber optic link components for applications requiring a low cost solution. The key optical and electrical parameters of links configured with the HFBR-0500ETZ family are fully guaranteed from -40° to 85° C. A wide variety of package configurations and connectors provide the designer with numerous mechanical solutions to meet application requirements. The transmitter and receiver components have been designed for use in high volume/low cost assembly processes such as auto insertion and wave soldering. Transmitters incorporate a 660 nm LED. Receivers include a monolithic dc coupled, digital IC receiver with open collector Schottky output transistor. An internal pullup resistor is available for use in the HFBR-25X1ETZ and HFBR-25X2ETZ receivers. A shield has been integrated into the receiver IC to provide additional, localized noise immunity. Internal optics have been optimized for use with 1 mm diameter plastic optical fiber. Versatile Link specifications incorporate all connector interface losses.
