Broadcom Versatile Link Fibre Optic Receiver

The Broadcom Versatile Link Fibre Optic Receiver is a high-performance component designed to resolve challenges associated with voltage isolation, EMI/RFI immunity, and data security. Operating at a standard 1Mbaud, this horizontal receiver is perfectly suited for demanding environments where reliable data transmission is critical.

Engineered with an integrated shield, the receiver IC delivers additional localised noise immunity, ensuring signal integrity even in electrically noisy settings. The internal optics have been specifically optimised for use with 1mm diameter plastic optical fibre, providing efficient and reliable light coupling. Furthermore, Versatile Link specifications incorporate all connector interface losses, significantly simplifying optical calculations for common link applications.

This receiver is fully compatible with standard TTL circuitry, making it highly versatile and easy to integrate into existing systems. It boasts a peak supply current of 6mA and features an interlocking design for secure connections. Built to withstand harsh conditions, it is flame-retardant and operates reliably across a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. With a typical wavelength of 660nm, it supports a maximum data rate of 115Kbps over distances up to 20m.
