7820R Optical Receiver
5-200 MHz RFoG Return Path
DATASHEET | MARCH 2012
FIBER OPTICS
The 7820R RFoG return path optical receiver is a single-mode fiber pigtailed
module featuring a low-noise, impedance-matched broadband photodiode and RF
amplification.
The device receives optical analog and/or digital signals for a range of return path,
and delivers the corresponding RF electrical output.
The 7820R exhibits excellent noise performance with values well above standards
over the entire 200MHz bandwidth and case temperature specifications (-40°C to
+85°C).
Applications
Video Signal Distribution in RFoG and
FTTx nodes
Video Overlay in Passive Optical
Networks (PON).
Moreover, the proprietary impedance-match circuitry between the photodetector and
RF amplification stages resolves a number of OEM design obstacles. The device’s
noise performance is typically less than 0.75pA/√Hz for the 85MHz version and
1pA/√Hz for the 200MHz version.
The 7820R RFoG return path optical receiver can be used in the optical wavelength
range from 1260nm – 1620nm applications.
The 7820R is compliant with all criteria of the Restriction of the Use of Hazardous
Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (RoHS) guidelines 2002/95/EC.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are absolute stress
ratings only. Functional operation of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in excess of those given in the
operational sections of the data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for extended periods can adversely affect
device reliability.
