AFBR-59F1Z [Broadcom]

The Avago Technologies AFBR-59F1Z transceiver provides system designers with the ability to implement Fast POF Ethernet (100Mbps) communication over 2.2 mm jacketed standard Polymer Optical Fiber (POF). The innovative bare fiber locking mechanism allows connection of POF cable with a simple insert and lock system eliminating the need for connectors, facilitating fast installation and maintenance. The transceiver is Laser Class 1, lead-free and compliant with RoHS. The very compact design is similar to that of the well known RJ-45 connector. The transmitter consists of a 650nm LED controlled by a fully integrated driver IC operating at 3.3V, receiving LVPECL or LVDS differential input and converting it into modulated current driving the LED. The receiver utilizes a fully integrated single chip solution with excellent immunity to EMI and fast transient dV/dt rejection, directly converting light to a differential LVPECL output signal.
