The Trilevel Transparent Code (TTC) optical signal is
represented by three optical power levels:
a. LOW - zero power out
b. Hl - maximum power out (PÝ)
c. OFF - 1/2 maximum power out (PÏ)
This three level optical signal is therefore analogous to a
bipolar voltage signal (+, -, zero) in a conventional
system.
The TTC encoder incorporated in the MASTERSLICE IC
encodes a positive going input signal transition into a
50 ns wide LOW optical pulse and a negative going
transition into a HI optical pulse. In addition, the encoder
provides the appropriate width refresh pulse when the
input is not transitioning. For TTL low input, HI refresh
pulses are generated and output, and for TTL high input,
LOW refresh pulses are output. The refresh pulses are
required by the Receiver Module (HFM1011) to aid in
decoding the trilevel optical signal back into the original
TTL signal.
The TTL encoding scheme makes the HFM2010 to
HFM1011 fiber optic link "transparent" to data format.
Any input pulse width from DC to 100 ns will be
reproduced at the link output. Narrower pulse widths
require special versions (internal module capacitor
changes) of the HFM2010 module.
The Data Input (pin 8) drives an internal gate that has
50 mV of hysteresis. Therefore, there is no limit to the
rise/fall time of the input signal. An internal Schottky
diode clamp on the Data Input limits negative overshoot
to less than 1 V.
The Power Output Selection inputs (pins 1, 2, 3) are
used to statically or dynamically select the power output
(see POWER OUTPUT SELECTION TABLE). With
none of the select inputs grounded, 100% of the average
power output (PÏ) is selected. Grounding any of the
inputs reduces the optical power out and also the
module power dissipation.
Note
IÙÙ varies with PÏ selected. Typical values are:
IÙÙ = (80 + (% x .9) mA, where % is given in the
POWER OUTPUT SELECTION TABLE.
Example
For P¢ = 1, P¦ = 1, P§ = 0, IÙÙ = 80 + (50 x .9) = 125.
Notes
1. For PC board mounting, optical connector must
overhang PC board edge to attach fiber cable.
2. For panel mounting, maximum recommended panel
thickness is 0.156 in (3.96 mm).
3. Penetration greater than 0.09 (23) into tapped holes
may damage module.
Honeywell reserves the right to make
changes in order to improve design and
supply the best products possible.
