OPF2404

The OPF2404 is a low cost high speed fiber optic receiver. The OPF2404 is ideal for fibers as small as 50 pm. The tensed optical system keeps the receiver's response consistent for all fiber sizes.The output of the receiver is an analog, low impedance, voltage source capable of driving an amplifier or level translating circuitry for use on various data formats and data rates up to 35MBaud.

Features of the OPF2404 are:(1)low cost; (2)no mounting hardware required; (3)wide temperature range; (4)link distances up to 4 KM; (5)SMA or ST'style ports; (6)wave solderable.The receiver is comprised of a high speed, low noise, photodiode coupled to a transimpedance amplifier which produces an output voltage proportional to the input light amplitude. This hybrid approach solves many of the problems of high speed data link designs by placing a pre-amplifier close to the photodiode. The level amplification produced by the transimpedance amplifier makes the output signal much less susceptible to interference which is a problem often found at high data rates and in high EMI environments.

The absolute maximum ratings of the OPF2404 can be summarized as:(1)supply voltage:-0.5 to 7.0 V;(2)storage temperature range:-55 to 85;(3)lead soldering temperature:260;(4)operating temperature:-40 to 85.This component is susceptible to damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD). Normal static precautions should be taken in handling and assembly of this component to prevent ESD damage or degradation.The products described in this document are designed, developed and manufactured as contemplated for general use, including without limitation, ordinary industrial use, general office use, personal use, and household use, but are not designed, developed and manufactured as contemplated (1) for any use that includes fatal risks or dangers that, unless extremely high safety is secured, could have a serious effect to the public, and could lead directly to death, personal injury, severe physical damage or other loss (i.e., nuclear reaction control in nuclear facility, aircraft flight control, air traffic control, mass transport control, medical life support system, missile launch control in weapon system), or (2) for any use where chance of failure is intolerable (i.e., submersible repeater and artificial satellite).
