FOT180B Fiber-Optic Transmitter
General Description
The FOT180B is a high-speed general-purpose electrooptical transmitter. It is designed for digital data transmission via optical fibers with data rates up to 20 MBits/s NRZ. The package includes the driver circuitry, optical light source, and connector. The bayonet-type connector on the package simplifies and ensures reliable optical coupling with minimal source to fiber alignment losses. The low-profile metal package is ideal for direct PC board mounting with 0.5" board-to·board spacing. When used with the FOR100B fiber-optic receiver, the pair provides a complete optical data link with TTL compatible interfacing. Connectors are available from Amphenol™.
