The AFBR-1528CZ from Broadcom is a Link Fiber Optic Analog Transmitter that operates at a wavelength of 650 nm. It delivers an output power from -12 dBm to -1 dBm and has a spectral width of 20 nm. This fiber optic transmitter has an optical rise/fall time of 3 ns and a forward voltage of 1.4 V - 2.3 V. It has a diode capacitance of 30 pF and reverse input breakdown voltage of 20 V.
The AFBR-1528CZ has a data transmission up to 10 Mbaud, and can be linked up to 58 m supported with 1 mm polymer optical fiber (POF) & 500 m with 200-μm diameter plastic-clad silica (PCS). It utilizes a 650-nm LED source, and AFBR-2528CZ receiver that consists of an IC with an integrated photodiode. This fiber optic transmitter is compatible with the Broadcom Versatile Link family of connectors and is RoHS compliant.
The AFBR-1528CZ is available in a compact horizontal package that measures 12.2 mm x 12.2 mm x 8.5 mm and is ideal for industrial control & factory automation, optical transmitter & receiver for 10-Mbaud systems, serial field buses, intra-system links; board-to-board, rack-to-rack, extension of RS-232 & RS-485, high voltage isolation, elimination of ground loops, reduction of voltage transient susceptibility and drivers & inverter applications.
