Description
The Versatile Link series is a complete family of ber
optic link components for applications requiring a low
cost solution. The HFBR-0500ETZ series includes trans-
mitters, receivers, connec tors and cable specied for
easy design. This series of compo nents is ideal for
solving problems with voltage isolation/insula tion,
EMI/RFI immunity or data security. The optical link
design is simpli ed by the logic compat ible receivers
and complete speci-cations for each component. The
key optical and electrical parameters of links congured
with the HFBR-0500ETZ family are fully guaranteed from
-40° to 85° C.
A wide variety of package cong u ra tions and connectors
provide the designer with numerous mechanical solutions
to meet application requirements. The transmitter and
receiver compo nents have been designed for use in high
volume/low cost assembly processes such as auto inser-
tion 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 avail able 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 optim ized for use with 1 mm
diameter plastic optical ber. Versatile Link specications
incorporate all connector interface losses. Therefore,
optical calculations for common link applications are
simplied.
