HFBR-0507 Series

125 MBd Data Link

Data link operating conditions

and performance are specified for

the HFBR-15X7 transmitter and

HFBR-25X6 receiver in the

recommended applications

circuits shown in Figure 1. This

circuit has been optimized for 125

MBd operation. The Applications

Engineering Department in the

Hewlett-Packard Optical

Communication Division is

available to assist in optimizing

link performance for higher or

lower speed operation.

Notes:

1. If the output of U4C in Figure 1, page 4 is transmitted via coaxial cable, terminate with a 50

Ω resistor to V

2. Run length limited code with maximum run length of 10

µs.

3. Minimum link performance is projected based on the worst case specifications of the HFBR-15X7 transmitter, HFBR-25X6 receiver,

and POF cable, and the typical performance of other components (e.g. logic gates, transistors, resistors, capacitors, quantizer,

HCS cable).

4. Typical performance is at 25

°C, 125 MBd, and is measured with typical values of all circuit components.

5. Standard cable is HFBR-RXXYYY plastic optical fiber , with a maximum attenuation of 0.24 dB/m at 650 nm and NA = 0.5.

Extra low loss cable is HFBR-EXXYYY plastic optical fiber, with a maximum attenuation of 0.19 dB/m at 650 nm and NA = 0.5.

HCS cable is HFBR-H/VXXYYY glass optical fiber, with a maximum attenuation of 10 dB/km at 650 nm and NA = 0.37.

6. Optical Power Budget is the difference between the transmitter output power and the receiver sensitivity, measured after

1 meter of fiber. The minimum OPB is based on the limits of optical component performance over temperature, process, and

recommended power supply variation.

7. The Optical Power Margin is the available OPB after including the effects of attenuation and modal dispersion for the minimum

link distance: OPM = OPB - (attenuation power loss + modal dispersion power penalty). The minimum OPM is the margin

available for longterm LED LOP degradation and additional fixed passive losses (such as in-line connectors) in addition to the

minimum specified distance.
