CAUTION: The small junction sizes inherent to the design of this component increase the component's susceptibility
to damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD). It is advised that normal static precautions be taken in handling and
assembly of this component to prevent damage and/or degradation which may be induced by ESD.
HFBR-0600Z Series
SERCOS Fiber Optic Transmitters and Receivers
Data Sheet
SERCOS
SERCOS is a Serial Realtime Communication System, a
standard digital interface for communication between
controls and drives for numerically controlled machines.
The SERCOS interface speci cation was written by a joint
working group of the VDW (German Machine Tool Builders
Association) and ZVEI (German Electrical and Electronic
Manufacturer’s Association) to allow data exchange
between NC controls and drives via ber optic rings, with
isolation and noise immunity. The HFBR-0600Z family
of ber optic transmitters and receivers comply to the
SERCOS speci cations for transmitter and receiver optical
characteristics and connector style (SMA).
Description
The HFBR-0600Z components are capable of operation at
symbol rates from DC to over 2 MBd and distances from
0 to over 20 metres. The HFBR-1602Z and HFBR-1604Z
transmitters contain a 655 nm AlGaAs emitter capable of
e ciently launching optical power into 1000 mm plastic
optical ber. The optical output is speci ed at the end of
0.5 m of plastic optical ber.
The HFBR-1604Z is a selected version of the HFBR-1602,
with power speci ed to meet the SERCOS high attenua-
tion speci cations.
The HFBR-2602Z receiver incorporates an integrated
photo IC containing a photodetector and DC ampli er
driving an open-collector Schottky output transistor. The
HFBR-2602Z is designed for direct interfacing to popular
logic families. The absence of an internal pullup resistor
allows the open-collector output to be used with logic
families such as CMOS requiring voltage excursions higher
than VCC. The HFBR-2602Z has a dynamic range of 15 dB.
