ESCRIPTION
IF-D96
3/19/04
The IF-D96 is a medium-speed photologic detector housed in a “connector-less”
style plastic fiber optic package. The detector contains an IC with a photodiode,
linear amplifier and Schmitt trigger logic circuit. The IF-D96 features an inverted
open-collector Schottky transistor (active low). The device can drive up to 5 TTL
loads over output (pull-up) voltages ranging from 4.5 to 18 Volts. Optical response
extends from 400 to 1100 nm, making it compatible with a wide range of LED
and laser diode sources. The detector package features an internal micro-lens
and a precision-molded PBT housing to ensure efficient optical coupling with
standard 1000 µm core plastic fiber cable.

The IF-D96 is suitable for digital data links at rates up to 5 Mbps. A Schmitt trigger
improves noise immunity and TTL/CMOS logic compatibility greatly simplifies
interfacing with existing digital circuits. The integrated design of the IF-D96
provides simple, cost-effective implementation in a variety of digital applications.

1. Cut off the ends of the optical fiber with a single-
edge razor blade or sharp knife. Try to obtain a
precise 90-degree angle (square).
2. Insert the fiber through the locking nut and into the
connector until the core tip seats against the internal
micro-lens.
3. Screw the connector locking nut down to a snug fit,
locking the fiber in place.
