Handling and Design Information
Each part comes with a protective port cap or plug
covering the optics. These caps/plugs will vary by port
style. When soldering, it is advisable to leave the
protective cap on the unit to keep the optics clean.
Good system performance requires clean port optics
and cable ferrules to avoid obstructing the optical path.
Clean compressed air often is sufficient to remove
particles of dirt; methanol on a cotton swab also works
well.
Recommended Chemicals for Cleaning/Degreasing
HFBR-0400Z Products
Alcohols: methyl, isopropyl, isobutyl.
Aliphatics: hexane, heptane, 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.
Also, Avago Technologies does not recommend the
use of cleaners that use halogenated hydrocarbons
because of their potential environmental harm.

2. Synchronous data rate limit is based on these assumptions: a) 50% duty factor modulation, e.g., Manchester I or BiPhase Manchester II; b)
continuous data; c) PLL Phase Lock Loop demodulation; d) TTL threshold.
3. Asynchronous data rate limit is based on these assumptions: a) NRZ data; b) arbitrary timing-no duty factor restriction; c) TTL threshold.

5 MBd Logic Link Design
If resistor R1 in Figure 2 is 70.4 Ω, a forward current IF
of 48 mA is applied to the HFBR-14x4Z LED transmitter.
With IF = 48 mA the HFBR-14x4Z/24x2Z logic link is
guaranteed to work with 62.5/125 µm fiber optic cable
over the entire range of 0 to 1750 meters at a data
rate of dc to 5 MBd, with arbitrary data format and
pulse width distortion typically less than 25%. By
setting R1 = 115 Ω, the transmitter can be driven with
IF = 30 mA, if it is desired to economize on power or
achieve lower pulse distortion.
The following example will illustrate the technique for
selecting the appropriate value of IF and R1.
Maximum distance required = 400 meters. From Figure
3 the drive current should be 15 mA. From the
transmitter data VF = 1.5 V (max.) at IF = 15 mA as
shown in Figure 9.
The curves in Figures 3, 4, and 5 are constructed
assuming no inline splice or any additional system loss.
Should the link consists of any in-line splices, these
curves can still be used to calculate link limits provided
they are shifted by the additional system loss expressed
in dB. For example, Figure 3 indicates that with 48 mA
of transmitter drive current, a 1.75 km link distance is
achievable with 62.5/125 µm fiber which has a
maximum attenuation of 4 dB/km. With 2 dB of
additional system loss, a 1.25 km link distance is still
achievable.

Description
CATHODE
The HFBR-14xxZ fiber optic transmitter contains an 820
nm AlGaAs emitter capable of efficiently launching
optical power into four different optical fiber sizes: 50/
125 µm, 62.5/125 µm, 100/140 µm, and 200 µm HCS®.
This allows the designer flexibility in choosing the fiber
size. The HFBR-14xxZ is designed to operate with the
Avago Technologies HFBR-24xxZ fiber optic receivers.
The HFBR-14xxZ transmitter’s high coupling efficiency
allows the emitter to be driven at low current levels
resulting in low power consumption and increased
reliability of the transmitter. The HFBR-14x4Z high
power transmitter is optimized for small size fiber and
typically can launch -15.8 dBm optical power at 60 mA
into 50/125 µm fiber and -12 dBm into 62.5/125 µm
fiber. The HFBR-14x2Z standard transmitter typically
can launch -12 dBm of optical power at 60 mA into
100/140 µm fiber cable. It is ideal for large size fiber
such as 100/140 µm. The high launched optical power
level is useful for systems where star couplers, taps, or
inline connectors create large fixed losses.

3. Thermal resistance is measured with the transmitter coupled to a connector assembly and mounted on a printed circuit board.
4. D is measured at the plane of the fiber face and defines a diameter where the optical power density is within 10 dB of the maximum.
5. PT is measured with a large area detector at the end of 1 meter of mode stripped cable, with an ST® precision ceramic ferrule (MILSTD- 83522/13)
for HFBR-1412Z/1414Z, and with an SMA 905 precision ceramic ferrule for HFBR-1402Z/1404Z.
6. When changing mW to dBm, the optical power is referenced to 1 mW (1000 mW). Optical Power P (dBm) = 10 log P (mW)/1000 mW.
7. Pre-bias is recommended if signal rate >10 MBd, see recommended drive circuit in Figure 11.
8. Pins 2, 6 and 7 are welded to the anode header connection to minimize the thermal resistance from junction to ambient. To further reduce the
thermal resistance, the anode trace should be made as large as is consistent with good RF circuit design.
9. Fiber NA is measured at the end of 2 meters of mode stripped fiber, using the far-field pattern. NA is defined as the sine of the half angle, determined
at 5% of the peak intensity point. When using other manufacturer’s fiber cable, results will vary due to differing NA values and specification
methods.

All HFBR-14XXZ LED transmitters are classified as IEC 825-1 Accessible Emission Limit (AEL) Class 1 based upon the current
proposed draft scheduled to go in to effect on January 1, 1997. AEL Class 1 LED devices are considered eye safe. Contact your
Avago Technologies sales representative for more information.
CAUTION: The small junction sizes inherent to the design of these components increase the components’ susceptibility to
damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD). It is advised that normal static precautions be taken in handling and assembly of
these components to prevent damage and/or degradation which may be induced by ESD.
Recommended Drive Circuits
The circuit used to supply current to the LED
transmitter can significantly influence the optical
switching characteristics of the LED. The optical rise/
fall times and propagation delays can be improved by
using the appropriate circuit techniques. The LED drive
circuit shown in Figure 11 uses frequency
compensation to reduce the typical rise/fall times of
the LED and a small pre-bias voltage to minimize
propagation delay differences that cause pulse-width
distortion. The circuit will typically produce rise/fall
(VCC − VF ) + 3.97(V CC − VF − 1.6V)
IF ON (A)
times of 3 ns, and a total jitter including pulse-width
distortion of less than 1 ns. This circuit is recommended
for applications requiring low edge jitter or high-speed
data transmission at signal rates of up to 155 MBd.
Component values for this circuit can be calculated for
different LED drive currents using the equations shown
below. For additional details about LED drive circuits,
the reader is encouraged to read Avago Technologies

5. Measured at the end of 100/140 mm fiber optic cable with large area detector.
6. Propagation delay through the system is the result of several sequentially-occurring phenomena. Consequently it is a combination of data-ratelimiting effects and of transmission-time effects. Because of this, the data-rate limit of the system must be described in terms of time differentials
between delays imposed on falling and rising edges.
7. As the cable length is increased, the propagation delays increase at 5 ns per meter of length. Data rate, as limited by pulse width distortion, is not
affected by increasing cable length if the optical power level at the receiver is maintained.
CAUTION: The small junction sizes inherent to the design of these components increase the components’ susceptibility to damage
from electrostatic discharge (ESD). It is advised that normal static precautions be taken in handling and assembly of these
components to prevent damage and/or degradation which may be induced by ESD.

HFBR-24x6Z Low-Cost 125 MHz Receiver
Description
The HFBR-24x6Z fiber optic receiver is designed to
operate with the Avago Technologies HFBR-14xxZ fiber
optic transmitters and 50/ 125 µm, 62.5/125 µm, 100/
140 µm and 200 µm HCS® fiber optic cable. Consistent
coupling into the receiver is assured by the lensed
optical system (Figure 1). Response does not vary with
fiber size for core diameters of 100 mm or less.
The receiver output is an analog signal which allows
follow-on circuitry to be optimized for a variety of
distance/data rate requirements. Low-cost external
components can be used to convert the analog output
to logic compatible signal levels for various data
formats and data rates up to 175 MBd. This distance/
data rate trade-off results in increased optical power
budget at lower data rates which can be used for
additional distance or splices.
The frequency response is typically dc to 125 MHz.
Although the HFBR-24x6Z is an analog receiver, it is
compatible with digital systems. Please refer to
Application Bulletin 78 for simple and inexpensive
circuits that operate at 155 MBd or higher.
The recommended ac coupled receiver circuit is shown
in Figure 14. It is essential that a 10 ohm resistor be
connected between pin 6 and the power supply, and
a 0.1 mF ceramic bypass capacitor be connected
between the power supply and ground. In addition,
pin 6 should be filtered to protect the receiver from
Housed Product
The HFBR-24x6Z receiver contains a PIN photodiode
and low noise transimpedance preamplifier integrated
circuit. The HFBR-24x6Z receives an optical signal and
converts it to an analog voltage. The output is a
buffered emitter follower. Because the signal amplitude
from the HFBR-24x6Z receiver is much larger than from
a simple PIN photodiode, it is less susceptible to EMI,
especially at high signaling rates. For very noisy
environments, the conductive or metal port option is
recommended. A receiver dynamic range of 23 dB over
temperature is achievable (assuming 10-9 BER).

CAUTION: The small junction sizes inherent to the design of these components increase the components’ susceptibility to damage
from electrostatic discharge (ESD). It is advised that normal static precautions be taken in handling and assembly of these
components to prevent damage and/or degradation which may be induced by ESD.
