Description

The 125 MBd Versatile Link (HFBR-0507 Series) is the most cost-effective fiber-optic solution for transmission of 125 MBd data over 100 meters. The data link consists of a 650 nm LED transmitter, HFBR-15X7, and a PIN/preamp receiver, HFBR­25X6. These can be used with low-cost plastic or silica fiber. One mm diameter plastic fiber provides the lowest cost solution for distances under 25 meters. The lower attenuation of silica fiber allows data transmission over longer distance, for a small difference in cost. These compo­nents can be used for high speed data links without the problems common with copper wire solutions, at a competitive cost.
The HFBR-15X7 transmitter is a high power 650 nm LED in a low cost plastic housing designed to efficiently couple power into 1 mm diameter plastic optical fiber
HFBR-0507 Series HFBR-15X7 Transmitters HFBR-25X6 Receivers
and 200 µm Hard Clad Silica (HCS®) fiber. With the recom­mended drive circuit, the LED operates at speeds from 1-125 MBd. The HFBR-25X6 is a high bandwidth analog receiver con­taining a PIN photodiode and internal transimpedance amplifier. With the recommended applica­tion circuit for 125 MBd operation, the performance of the complete data link is specified for of 0-25 meters with plastic fiber and 0-100 meters with 200 µm HCS® fiber. A wide variety of other digitizing circuits can be combined with the HFBR-0507 Series to optimize performance and cost at higher and lower data rates.

Notes:
1. If the output of U4C in Figure 1, page 4 is transmitted via coaxial cable, terminate with a 50 resistor to V
2. Run length limited code with maximum run length of 10 µs.
3. Minimum link performance is projected based on the worst case specifications of the HFBR-15X7 transmitter, HFBR-25X6 receiver, and POF cable, and the typical performance of other components (e.g. logic gates, transistors, resistors, capacitors, quantizer, HCS cable).
4. Typical performance is at 25°C, 125 MBd, and is measured with typical values of all circuit components.
5. Standard cable is HFBR-RXXYYY plastic optical fiber , with a maximum attenuation of 0.24 dB/m at 650 nm and NA = 0.5. Extra low loss cable is HFBR-EXXYYY plastic optical fiber, with a maximum attenuation of 0.19 dB/m at 650 nm and NA = 0.5. HCS cable is HFBR-H/VXXYYY glass optical fiber, with a maximum attenuation of 10 dB/km at 650 nm and NA = 0.37.
6. Optical Power Budget is the difference between the transmitter output power and the receiver sensitivity, measured after 1 meter of fiber. The minimum OPB is based on the limits of optical component performance over temperature, process, and recommended power supply variation.
7. The Optical Power Margin is the available OPB after including the effects of attenuation and modal dispersion for the minimum link distance: OPM = OPB - (attenuation power loss + modal dispersion power penalty). The minimum OPM is the margin available for longterm LED LOP degradation and additional fixed passive losses (such as in-line connectors) in addition to the minimum specified distance.

Notes:
1. Average optical power is measured with an average power meter at 50% duty cycle, after 1 meter of fiber.
2. To allow the LED to switch at high speeds, the recommended drive circuit modulates LED light output between two non-zero power levels. The modulated (useful) power is the difference between the high and low level of light output power (transmitted) or input power (received), which can be measured with an average power meter as a function of duty cycle (see Figure 3). Average Modulated Power is defined as one half the slope of the average power versus duty cycle:
[P
@ 80% duty cycle - P
Average Modulated Power = ––——————————————————————
3. High and low level LED currents refer to the current through the HFBR-15X7 LED. The low level LED “off” current, sometimes referred to as “hold-on” current, is prebias supplied to the LED during the off state to facilitate fast switching speeds.

Description

The HFBR-25X6 receivers contain a PIN photodiode and transimpedance pre-amplifier circuit in a horizontal (HFBR-
