Supplier of analog interface components, Avago Technologies has launched a new range of fiber-optic receivers and transmitters at the Electronica 2010 Expo. The HFBR-152xETZ/252xETZ fiber-optic modules are optimized for demanding temperature environments.
The modules offer dependable data transmissions over silica or plastic fiber in the temperature range of -40ºC to +85 ºC. Designers can utilize the modules to execute system control in medical systems, traction inverters in trains, solar farms, and wind turbines.
The HFBR-152xETZ/252xETZ modules remove the electrical ground, crosstalk, and electromagnetic interference problems that exist in copper wire solutions. They also offer a more versatile and convenient installation solution.
The HFBR-252xETZ receivers feature an internal transimpedance amplifier and a PIN photodiode, while the HFBR-152xETZ transmitters are developed using the 650-nm LED that is convenient to modulate and drive. The transmitters function at speeds ranging from 1 to 125 MBd over maximum distances of 100 m. The fiber-optic modules are compatible with 200 m hard-clad silica fiber and 1 mm plastic optical fiber.
Avago’s Marketing Manager, Mickael Marie stated that the new optical fiber modules have been developed based on customers’ requests. The company’s customers are from the transportation and renewable energy markets.
