FOR100B Fiber-Optic Receiver
ADVANCE INFORMATION
General Description
The FOR100B is a general-purpose fiber-optic receiver. It contains a low-capacitance pin photodiode, FET-input transimpedance preamplifier and a comparator with hysteresis. An integral self-aligning bayonet-style connector simplifies and ensures reliable optical coupling. The low profile metal package is ideal for direct PC board mounting with 0.5" board-to-board spacing. When used with the FOT180B fiber-optic transmitter, the pair will provide a complete fiber-optic data link capable of 5 Mbits/s NRZ data rate with only 2/AW peak optical power input at the receiver. Connectors are available from Amphenol™.
