Part Number:AFBR-FS50B00

The Broadcom® AFBR-FS50B00 is a transceiver that communicates data over free space and thereby allows for wireless communication in a variety of applications. Full-duplex bidirectional communication, together with a small form factor, allows a compact system design. The device keeps full functionality over a 360° rotation around the optical axis, which reduces the complexity of alignment at the system level. The AFBR-FS50B00, a Laser Class 1 product, is RoHS compliant and is designed for SMT solderability standard processes.

  • Transmitter: The transmitter part of the AFBR-FS50B00 uses an 850-nm VCSEL. The VCSEL is driven by an IC, which converts differential input signals into an analog drive current. The transmitter IC can be enabled and disabled by means of the Tx EN pin.
  • Receiver: The receiver part of the AFBR-FS50B00 uses a high-speed PIN photodiode and an IC. The IC implements the functionality of a transimpedance amplifier followed by a limiting amplifier for the generation of the logical output. The data output is differential. The receiver IC provides a monitor current (Imon) output and a signal detect (SD) output.
