Broadcom HFBR-2522Z Fibre Optic Receiver, 1Mbaud

The Broadcom HFBR-2522Z is a high-performance, versatile link fibre optic receiver engineered to provide robust solutions for critical data transmission challenges. Its primary function is to ensure reliable communication by overcoming issues related to voltage isolation and insulation, EMI/RFI immunity, and data security. The unit is optimised for use with 1mm diameter plastic optical fibre, simplifying integration into a wide range of systems.

A key feature of this receiver is its integrated shield within the receiver IC, which provides additional, localised noise immunity for enhanced signal integrity in electrically noisy environments. The internal optics have been specifically calibrated, and the Versatile Link specifications incorporate all connector interface losses, making optical calculations for standard link applications straightforward. It operates on a 660nm wavelength and offers a maximum data rate of 1 Mbaud over distances of up to 55 metres.

Designed for compatibility with standard TTL circuitry, this horizontal receiver ensures easy interfacing with common digital systems. It boasts a low peak supply current of 6mA and is constructed with a flame-retardant material for increased safety. The product also features a secure interlocking design and is rated for operation within a temperature range of 0 to 70°C, guaranteeing reliable performance in varied conditions.

With its combination of high noise immunity, robust construction, and versatile application potential, the HFBR-2522Z is an ideal component for demanding electronic environments where data integrity and security are paramount.
