AFBR-1528CZ and AFBR-2528CZ
DC to 10-MBd Versatile Link Fiber Optic Analog
Transmitter and Digital Receiver for 1-mm POF and
200-μm PCS
Data Sheet
Description
Features
The AFBR-1528CZ analog transmitter utilizes a 650-nm LED
source, and the AFBR-2528CZ receiver consists of an IC with an
integrated photodiode providing a TTL logic family compatible
output.
AFBR-2528CZ devices have inverted output signals, which
means that light_on leads to Data_out low.
A link with AFBR-1528CZ and AFBR-2528CZ enables operating
temperatures up to +95 °C.
The transmitter and receiver are 4-pin devices, packed in
Versatile Link housings. Versatile Link components can be
interlocked (N-plexed together) to minimize space and to
provide dual connections with the duplex connectors. Various
simplex and duplex connectors, as well as POF cables, are
available for Versatile Link components.
Horizontal Package
The transmitter and receiver housing is designed to efficiently
couple into 1-mm Polymer Optical Fiber (POF) and 200-μm
diameter Plastic-Clad Silica (PCS). Links up to 58 m are
supported with 1-mm POF, and up to 500 m with 200-μm PCS.

Handling
Application Note 1035 (Versatile Link), AV02-0730EN.
Versatile Link components are auto-insertable. When wave
soldering is performed with Versatile Link components, the
optical port plug should be left in to prevent contamination of
the port. Do not use reflow solder processes (i.e., infrared
reflow or vapor-phase reflow). Non-halogenated water soluble
fluxes (i.e., 0% chloride), not rosin based fluxes, are
recommended for use with Versatile Link components.
Package and Handling Information
The compact Versatile Link package is made of a flame
retardant material and uses the same pad layout as a standard,
eight-pin dual-in-line package. Horizontal packages are
available. These low-profile Versatile Link packages are
stackable and are enclosed to provide a dust-resistant seal.
Snap action simplex, simplex latching, duplex, and duplex
latching connectors are offered with simplex or duplex cables.
Versatile Link components are moisture-sensitive devices and
are shipped in a moisture sealed bag. If the components are
exposed to air for an extended period of time, they may require
a baking step before the soldering process. Refer to the special
labeling on the shipping tube for details.
Package Housing Color
Versatile Link components and simplex connectors are color
coded to eliminate confusion when making connections.
Receiver packages are black, and transmitters are grey.
Recommended Chemicals for
Cleaning/Degreasing
Alcohols: methyl, isopropyl, isobutyl.
Aliphatics: hexane, heptanes.
Other: soap solution, naphtha.
Do not use partially halogenated hydrocarbons such as 1,1.1
trichloroethane, ketones such as MEK, acetone, chloroform,
ethyl acetate, methylene dichloride, phenol, methylene
chloride, or N-methylpyrolldone. Broadcom does not
recommend the use of cleaners that use halogenated
hydrocarbons because of their potential environmental harm.

Horizontal packages can be stacked by placing units with pins
facing upward. Initially engage the interlocking mechanism by
sliding the L bracket body from above into the L slot body of
the lower package. Use a straight edge, such as a ruler, to bring
all stacked units into uniform alignment. This technique
prevents potential harm that could occur to fingers and hands
of assemblers from the package pins. Stacked horizontal
packages can be disengaged if necessary. Repeated stacking
and unstacking causes no damage to individual units.
