Data Sheet
Description
Features
The 125 MBd Versatile Link (HFBR-0507ETZ Series) is the
most cost-effective fiber-optic solution for transmission
of 125 MBd data over 100 m. The data link consists of
a 650 nm LED transmitter, HFBR-1527ETZ, and a PIN/
preamp receiver, HFBR-2526ETZ. These can be used with
low-cost plastic or silica fiber. One mm diameter plastic
fiber provides the lowest cost solution for distances under
25 m. The lower attenuation of silica fiber allows data
transmission over longer distance, for a small difference in
cost. These components can be used for high speed data
links without the problems common with copper wire
solutions, at a competitive cost.
-40° to +85°C operating temperature range
The HFBR-1527ETZ transmitter is a high power 650 nm LED
in a low cost plastic housing designed to efficiently couple
power into 1 mm diameter plastic optical fiber and 200 m
Hard Clad Silica (HCS®) fiber. With the recommended drive
circuit, the LED operates at speeds from 1-125 MBd. The
HFBR-2526ETZ is a high bandwidth analog receiver containing a PIN photodiode and internal transimpedance
amplifier. With the recommended application circuit for
125 MBd operation, the performance of the complete data
link is specified for of 0-25 m with plastic fiber and 0-100 m
with 200 m HCS fiber. A wide variety of other digitizing
circuits can be combined with the HFBR-0507ETZ Series to
optimize performance and cost at higher and lower data
rates.
HCS is a registered trademark of OFS Corporation.

Notes:
1. If the output of U4C in Figure 1, page 4 is transmitted via coaxial cable, terminate with a 50 resistor to VCC - 2 V.
2. Run length limited code with maximum run length of 10 s.
3. Minimum link performance is projected based on the worst case specifications of the HFBR-1527ETZ transmitter, HFBR-2526ETZ 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-RXXYYYZ plastic optical fiber, with a maximum attenuation of 0.24 dB/m at 650 nm and NA = 0.5.
Extra low loss cable is plastic optical fiber, with a maximum attenuation of 0.19 dB/m at 650 nm and NA = 0.5.
HCS cable is 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 m 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 long term LED LOP
degradation and additional fixed passive losses (such as in-line connectors) in addition to the minimum specified distance.

Notes:
1. Average optical power is measured with an average power meter at 50% duty cycle, after 1 m of fiber.
2. To allow the LED to switch at high speeds, the recommended drive circuit modulates LED light output between two non-zero power levels. The
modulated (useful) power is the difference between the high and low level of light output power (transmitted) or input power (received), which
can be measured with an average power meter as a function of duty cycle (see Figure 3). Average Modulated Power is defined as one half the slope
of the average power versus duty cycle:
[Pavg @ 80% duty cycle – Pavg @ 20% duty cycle]
Average Modulated Power =
(2) [0.80 – 0.20]
3. High and low level LED currents refer to the current through the HFBR-1527ETZ LED. The low level LED “off” current, sometimes referred to as
“hold-on” current, is prebias supplied to the LED during the off state to facilitate fast switching speeds.

Notes:
1. 1.6 mm below seating plane.
2. The signal output is an emitter follower, which does not reject noise in the power supply. The power supply must be filtered as in Figure 1.
3. Typical data are at 25° C and VCC = +5 Vdc.
4. Pin 1 should be ac coupled to a load ≥ 510 with load capacitance less than 5 pF.
5. Measured with a 3 pole Bessel filter with a 75 MHz, -3dB bandwidth.
6. The maximum Peak Input Optical Power is the level at which the Pulse Width Distortion is guaranteed to be less than the PWD listed under Test
Condition. PR,Max is given for PWD = 5 ns for designing links at ≤ 50 MBd operation, and also for PWD = 2 ns for designing links up to 125 MBd (for
both POF and HCS input conditions).
7. 10 ns pulse width, 50% duty cycle, at the 50% amplitude point of the waveform.
8. Percent overshoot is defined at:
(VPK - V100%)
–––––––––––– 100%
V100%
9. Pins 5 and 8 are primarily for mounting and retaining purposes, but are electrically connected. It is recommended that these pins be connected to
ground to reduce coupling of electrical noise.
10. If there is no input optical power to the receiver (no transmitted signal) electrical noise can result in false triggering of the receiver. In typical
applications, data encoding and error detection prevent random triggering from being interpreted as valid data.
11. Moisture sensitivity level is MSL-4
