FOR100B Datasheet | National Semiconductor

Description The FOR100B is a general-purpose fiber-optic receiver. It contains a low-capacitance pin photodiode, FET-input transimpedance preamplifier and a parator with hysteresis. An integral self-aligning bayonet-style connector simplifies and ensures reliable optical coupling. The low profile metal package is ideal for direct PC board mounting with 0.5" board-to-board spacing. When used with the FOT180B fiber-optic transmitter, the pair will provide a plete fiber-optic data link capable of 5 Mbits/s NRZ data rate with only 2/AW peak optical power input at the receiver. Connectors are available from Amphenol™. Features - Single 4.5V to 12V supply - DC to 5 Mbits/s NRZ data bandwidth - < 10-9 bit error rate - Low capacitance silicon pin photodiode - Pin selectable sensitivity - CMOS/TTL patible logic output - >21 d B dynamic range (see Note 1, page 2) -...
