Description
The HFBR-0508Z Series consists of a  ber-optic trans-
mitter and receiver operating at a 650 nm wavelength
(red). The HFBR-1528Z transmitter is an LED in a low cost
plastic housing designed to e ciently couple power
into 200 μm diameter Hard Clad Silica (HCS) and 1 mm
diameter Plastic optical  ber (POF). The HFBR-2528Z re-
ceiver incor porates a PIN detec tor and digital output IC
compat ible with CMOS and TTL logic families.
HFBR-0508Z links operate from DC to 10 MBd at dis-
tances up to 50 meters with 1 mm POF and up to 500
meters with 200 μm HCS. No minimum link distances
are required when using recom mended circuits, simpli-
fying design.
Versatile Link components can be interlocked (N-plexed
together) to minimize space and to provide dual connec-
tions with the duplex connectors. Up to eight packages
can be interlocked and inserted into a printed circuit
board.
POF and HCS are available in pre-connectored lengths
or can be easily  eld-terminated. A single transmitter
drive current for POF and HCS allows both  bers to be
used with a single design.

2. Optical power measured at the end of 0.5 meters of 1 mm diameter plastic or 200 μm diameter hard clad silica  ber with a large area detector.
3. Minimum and maximum values for PT over temperature are based on a  xed drive current. The recommended drive circuit has temperature
compensation which reduces the variation in PT over temperature; refer to Figures 4 and 6.
4. Typical value measured from junction to PC board solder joint for horizontal mount package, HFBR-1528Z.
5. Pins 5 and 8 are for mounting and retaining purposes, but are electrically connected; pins 3 and 4 are electrically isolated. It is recommended
that pins 3, 4, 5 and 8 all be connected to ground to reduce coupling of electrical noise.
6. Refer to the “Plastic Optical Fiber and HCS Fiber Cable and Connectors for Versatile Link” Technical Data Sheet for cable connector options for 1

HFBR-2528Z Receiver
The HFBR-2528Z receiver consists of a silicon PIN photodiode and digitizing
IC to produce a logic compatible output. The IC includes a unique circuit to
correct the pulse width distortion (PWD) of the  rst bit after a long idle pe-
riod. This enables operation from DC to 10 MBd with low PWD for arbitrary
data patterns.
The receiver output is a “push-pull” stage compatible with TTL and CMOS
logic. The receiver housing is a dark, conductive plastic, compatible with all
Versatile Link connectors. HFBR-2528Z Receiver, top view

Notes:
1. Typical data are at +25°C, VCC = 5.0 V.
2. Input power levels are for peak (not average) optical input levels. For 50% duty cycle data, peak optical power is twice the average optical
power.
3. Receiver overdrive (PRL,max) is speci ed as the limit where |PWD| will not exceed 30 ns. The receiver will be in the correct state (logic “0”) for opti-
cal powers above PRL,max. However, it may not meet a 30% symbol period PWD if the overdrive limit is exceeded. Refer to Figure 8 for PWD per-
formance at high received optical powers.
4. Typical value measured from junction to PC board solder joint for horizontal mount package, HFBR-2528Z.
5. Pins 5 and 8 are electrically connected to the conductive housing and are also used for mounting and retaining purposes. It is required that
pins 5 and 8 be connected to ground to maintain conductive housing shield e ectiveness.
6. In recommended receiver circuit, with an optical signal from the recommended transmitter circuit.
7. Pin 4 is electrically isolated internally. Pin 4 may be externally connected to pin 1 for board layout compatibility with HFBR-25X1Z, HFBR-25X2Z
and HFBR-25X4Z. Otherwise it is recommended pin 4 be grounded as in Figure 11.
8. BER ≤ 10E-9, includes a 10.8 dB margin below the receiver switching threshold level (signal to noise ratio = 12).
