Description
The 125 MBd transceiver is a
cost-effective fiber-optic solution
for transmission of 125 MBd data
up to 100 meters with HCS
fiber. The data link consists of a
650 nm visible, red LED trans-
mitter and a PIN/preamp receiver.
These can be used with low-cost
plastic or hard clad silica fiber.
One millimeter diameter plastic
fiber provides the lowest cost
solution for distances under 25
meters. The lower attenuation of
HCS
fiber allows data transmis-
sion over longer distance. These
components can be used for high
speed data links without the
problems common with copper
wire solutions.
The transmitter is a high power
650 nm LED. Both transmitter
and receiver are molded in one
housing which is compatible with
the FO7 connector. This con-
nector is designed to efficiently
couple the power into POF or
HCS
fiber.
HFBR-5527
With the recommended drive
circuit, the LED operates at
speeds from 1-125 MBd. The
analog high bandwidth receiver
contains 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
0-25 meters with plastic fiber. A
wide variety of other digitizing
circuits can be combined with the
HFBR-5527 Series to optimize
performance and cost at higher or
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 V.
2. Run length limited code with maximum run length of 10
s.
3. Minimum link performance is projected based on the worst case specifications of the transmitter, 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 long term 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
avg
@ 80% duty cycle - P
avg
@ 20% duty cycle]
Average Modulated Power = --------------------------------------------
(2) [0.80 - 0.20]
3. High and low level LED currents refer to the current through the 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.
