Fiber Optic Receiver
OPF520 Series
Features:
• Low Cost plas c cap package
• Designed to self align in the bore of standard fiber op c receptacles
• Press fit simplifies installa on
• Op mized for fiber op c applica ons using 50 to 200 micron fiber
Description:
The OPF520 series fiber optic receiver is a high performance device packaged for data communications links. As such, it is
designed to work with fiber core diameters from 50µm to 200µm and over a broad input power range. The construction
contains a monolithic photo-IC comprised of a photodiode, biasing network, DC amplifier and an open collector output
transistor. The output circuitry makes this device compatible with TTL and CMOS logic.
This receiver is designed to operate from a single 5V supply. It is essential that a bypass capacitor be connected from VCC to
GND in order to ensure the best possible operation.
Applications:
• Industrial Ethernet equipment
• Copper-to-fiber media conversion
• Intra-system fiber op c links
• Video surveillance systems
