AFBR-1012 Transmitter and AFBR-2012 Receiver are de-
signed to transmit/ receive up to 25MBit/s optical data
which are biphase coded (up to 50Mbaud). Both are
packaged in 4-pin transfer molded, low-cost packages
ready for assembly into MOST® plastic fiber optic connec-
tor receptacles.
The transmitter utilizes a 650 nm LED source with inte-
grated optics for efficient coupling into 1mm Polymer Op-
tical Fiber (POF), and the receiver contains a high speed
PIN diode to receive this light.
Input/output data has TTL switching levels, compatible
with MOST® Network Interface Controller ICs.
These optical components are specified for operation
over a -40°C to +95°C temperature range, and meet the
reliability requirements of automotive applications. In the
absence of data activity, the receiver switches to very low
power mode. While in this mode, the PIN diode can sense
new data activity and switch the receiver back to full op-
eration.
Features
Operating @ 3.3V or 5V (+/-5% each) Power supply
Operating temperature range -40°C to +95°C
TTL Data Input/ Output (Logic to Light Function)
Power down mode
During the low power mode a receiver STATUS-pin
indicates if modulated light is received (Light on ->
STATUS = low). The power supply of the whole MOST
device can be switched on with this Status-pin.

Notes:
1. The current through the LED and therefore the optical output power and overall power consumption depends on the settings of R
EXT
.
The nominal value for R
EXT
is 15k. With R
EXT
= 30k the optical output power is about -3dB of the nominal value.
Important: The external resistor of R
EXT
must be within the range of 13.5kΩ to 33kΩ. For values out of this range functionality may not be given over the
whole temperature range and the device lifetime.
2. If the transmitter is in full power mode it is switched OFF 1ms (max) after Tx DATA is low. If the transmitter is in low power mode it is switched ON
6ms (max) after Tx Data transmission starts.
