Package and Handling Information
Package Information
The receiver is housed in a low-cost, dual-inline package
that is made of high strength, heat resistant, chemically
resistant, and UL 94V-O ame retardant ULTEM® plastic
(UL File #E121562). The receivers (sux Z, TZ) are easily
identied by the dark grey color connector port. A metal
port option is also available (sux MZ). The metal port op-
tion components have an internal electrical connection
between the metal port and the four grounding pins, as
shown in the package outline drawing. Signal ground is
separate from the four grounding pins to give exibility in
connecting the port to signal or chassis ground. The pack-
age is designed for auto-insertion and wave soldering so
it is ideal for high volume production applications.
Handling and Design Information
Each part is delivered with a protective port cap or a plug
covering the optics. These caps/plugs will vary by port
style. When soldering, it is advisable to leave the protec-
tive cap on the unit to keep the optics clean. Good system
performance requires clean port optics and cable ferrules
to avoid obstructing the optical path. Clean compressed
air often is sucient to remove particles of dirt; methanol
on a cotton swab also works well.
AFBR-24x9xZ Low-Cost 50 MBd Receiver
Description
The AFBR-24x9xZ ber optic receiver is designed to oper-
ate with the Avago Technologies HFBR-14xxZ ber optic
transmitters and multimode glass ber cable. Consistent
coupling into the receiver is assured by the optical system
with lens. The receiver output is a digital CMOS/TTL signal.
The AFBR-24x9xZ receiver contains an IC with integrated
photodiode which directly converts the incoming opti-
cal signal to a digital output signal without the requisite
for additional external circuitry. Because of its integrated
design, the receiver has very high EMC resistance. A wide
receiver dynamic range and high sensitivity over tempera-
ture is achievable. The data rate typically goes from 100
kBd to 50 MBd. A monitor (RSSI) output, which delivers an
output current proportional to the average incoming light
power, is available.
For an almost noise-free RSSI-signal smoothing compo-
nents are recommended. A capacitor in parallel to the
resistor on the RSSI output reduces potential high fre-
quency signal parts. The use of a single 100 nF capacitor
for signal smoothing is sucient in most common appli-
cations, as shown in the Recommended Receiver Circuitry
section on page 4. If this RSSI function is not required, the
output pin can be left oating. The RSSI-signal is derived
from internal controlling loops; therefore, the typical time
constant of pure RSSI output current without an external
lter can be up to 1 ms. This time constant also depends
on the actual average incoming light power.
