Broadcom 5 MBd Fibre Optic Receiver, Round 650 nm Fibre Optic Connector Connector

The Broadcom Receiver is a transimpedance amplifier with an integrated photodiode. The active area of this detector combined with the moulded microlens gives an efficient coupling from the end of the polymer optical fiber. This receiver enables data rates up to 5 MBd and works with the Avago SFH757 transmitter diode. The internal Schmitt trigger ensures stable output states over the whole dynamic range. If light with intensity above the threshold level is coupled into the SFH551/1-1, the electrical output will be logical “low” and vice versa.
