µm fiber and -12 dBm into 62.5/125 µm fiber. The HFBR-
14x2Z standard transmitter typically can launch -12 dBm
of optical power at 60 mA into 100/140 µm fiber cable. It
is ideal for large size fiber such as 100/140 µm. The high
launched optical power level is useful for systems where
star couplers, taps, or inline connectors create large fixed
losses.
Consistent coupling efficiency is assured by the double-
lens optical system (Figure 1). Power coupled into any of
the three fiber types varies less than 5 dB from part to
part at a given drive current and temperature. Consistent
coupling efficiency reduces receiver dynamic range re-
quirements which allows for longer link lengths.

Notes:
1. For IFPK > 100 mA, the time duration should not exceed 2 ns.
2. Typical data at TA = +25 °C.
3. Thermal resistance is measured with the transmitter coupled to a connector assembly and mounted on a printed circuit board.
4. D is measured at the plane of the fiber face and defines a diameter where the optical power density is within 10 dB of the maximum.
5. PT is measured with a large area detector at the end of 1 meter of mode stripped cable, with an ST® precision ceramic ferrule (MILSTD-
83522/13) for HFBR-1412Z/1414Z, and with an SMA 905 precision ceramic ferrule for HFBR-1402Z/1404Z.
6. When changing mW to dBm, the optical power is referenced to 1 mW (1000 mW). Optical Power P (dBm) = 10 log P (mW)/1000 mW.
7. Pre-bias is recommended if signal rate >10 MBd, see recommended drive circuit in Figure 11.
8. Pins 2, 6 and 7 are welded to the anode header connection to minimize the thermal resistance from junction to ambient. To further reduce
the thermal resistance, the anode trace should be made as large as is consistent with good RF circuit design.
9. Fiber NA is measured at the end of 2 meters of mode stripped fiber, using the far-field pattern. NA is defined as the sine of the half angle,
determined at 5% of the peak intensity point. When using other manufacturer’s fiber cable, results will vary due to differing NA values and
specification methods.

5. Measured at the end of 100/140 µm fiber optic cable with large area detector.
6. Propagation delay through the system is the result of several sequentially-occurring phenomena. Consequently it is a combination of data-
rate-limiting effects and of transmission-time effects. Because of this, the data-rate limit of the system must be described in terms of time
differentials between delays imposed on falling and rising edges.
7. As the cable length is increased, the propagation delays increase at 5 ns per meter of length. Data rate, as limited by pulse width distortion, is
not affected by increasing cable length if the optical power level at the receiver is maintained.

CAUTION: The small junction sizes inherent to the design of these components increase the components’ susceptibility to damage
from electrostatic discharge (ESD). It is advised that normal static precautions be taken in handling and assembly of these compo-

1. 2.0 mm from where leads enter case.
2. Typical specifications are for operation at TA = +25 °C and VCC = +5 V dc.
3. For 200 µm HCS fibers, typical responsivity will be 6 mV/mW. Other parameters will change as well.
4. Pin #2 should be ac coupled to a load ³ 510 ohm. Load capacitance must be less than 5 pF.
5. Measured with a 3 pole Bessel filter with a 75 MHz, -3 dB bandwidth. Recommended receiver filters for various bandwidths are provided in
Application Bulletin 78.
6. Overdrive is defined at PWD = 2.5 ns.
7. D is the effective diameter of the detector image on the plane of the fiber face. The numerical value is the product of the actual detector di-
ameter and the lens magnification.
8. Measured with a 10 ns pulse width, 50% duty cycle, at the 50% amplitude point of the waveform.
9. Percent overshoot is defined as:

(V PK− V 100%
V 100%
)x 100%

10. The conversion factor for the rise time to bandwidth is 0.41 since the HFBR-24x6Z has a second order bandwidth limiting characteristic.

CAUTION: The small junction sizes inherent to the design of these components increase the components’ susceptibility to damage
from electrostatic discharge (ESD). It is advised that normal static precautions be taken in handling and assembly of these compo-
nents to prevent damage and/or degradation which may be induced by ESD.
