interface allows data rates of 2, 4, 8, and 16 MBd and
data transfer between numerical controls and drives
via fiber-optic rings, with voltage isolation and noise
immunity. The HFBR-1505A and HFBR-2505A products
comply with SERCOS specifications for optical
characteristics and connector style, and have
guaranteed performance up to 10 MBd. (Typically the
16 MBd required by SERCOS is possible as well but
please contact Avago regarding the plan for the 16 MBd
device.)
PROFIBUS
PROFIBUS, an acronym of
PROcess FIeld BUS,
is an
open fieldbus standard defined for data rates ranging
from 9.6 kBd to12 MBd in selectable steps for wire and
optical fiber. PROFIBUS is a German national DIN
19245 standard and a European CENELEC standard
EN 50170. The ST
®
connector is the recommended
optical port of the PROFIBUS optical fiber version but
other connectors are allowed as well. The HFBR-1515B
and HFBR-2515B comply fully to the technical guideline
using Plastic Optical Fiber up to 6 MBd, and have a
guaranteed performance at data rates up to 10 MBd.
(Typically the 12 MBd is possible as well, but please
contact Avago regarding the plan for the 12 MBd device.)
INTERBUS-S
INTERBUS-S, a special open Sensor/Actuator Bus, is
finding a broad acceptance in the factory automation
industry. The HFBR-1505C and HFBR-2505C were
specially designed for this application and can be used
with 1 mm POF and 200
µm
HCS fiber at the specified
data rates of 500 kBd and 2 MBd.

Package Information
All HFBR-X5X5X series
transmitters and receivers are
housed in a low-cost, dual-in-line
package that is made of high
strength, heat resistant,
chemically resistant and UL 94
V-O (UL file # E121562) flame
retardant plastic. The
transmitters are easily identified
by the light grey colored
connector port. The receivers are
easily identified by the dark grey
colored connector port. The
package is designed for auto-
insertion and wave soldering so it
is ideal for high volume production
applications.
Handling and Design Information
When soldering, it is advisable to
leave the protective cap on the unit
to keep the optics clean. Good
system performance requires clean
port optics and cable ferrules to
avoid obstructing the optical path.
Clean compressed air often is
sufficient to remove particles of
dirt; methanol on a cotton swab
also works well.
Recommended Chemicals for
Cleaning/Degreasing X5X5X Products
Alcohols: methyl, isopropyl,
isobutyl.
Aliphatics: hexane, heptane.
Other: soap solution, naphtha.
Do not use partially halogenated
hydrocarbons such as
1,1,1 trichloroethane, ketones
such as MEK, acetone,
chloroform, ethyl acetate,
methylene dichloride, phenol,
methylene chloride or
N-methylpyrolldone. Also, Avago
does not recommend the use of
cleaners that use halogenated
hydrocarbons because of their
potential environmental harm.
CAUTION: The small junction size inherent in the design of these components increases the
components’ susceptibility to damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD). It is advised that normal
static precautions be taken in handling and assembly of these components to prevent damage and/or
degradation which may be induced by ESD.

HFBR-15X5X Transmitters
The HFBR-15X5X transmitter
incorporates a 650 nm LED in a
light gray nonconductive plastic
housing. The high light output
power enables the use of both
plastic optical fiber (POF) and
Hard Clad Silica (HCS
®
). This
transmitter can be operated up to
10 MBd using a simple driver
circuit. The HFBR-1505X is
compatible with SMA connectors,
while the HFBR-1515X mates with
ST
®
connectors.

1. Typical data at 25˚C.
2. Optical power measured at the end of 0.5 meters of 1 mm diameter plastic optical fiber with a large area detector.
3. Minimum and maximum values for P
T
over temperature are based on a fixed drive current. The recommended drive circuit has temperature
compensation which reduces the variation in P
T
over temperature, refer to Figures 4 and 6.
4. Thermal resistance is measured with the transmitter coupled to a connector assembly and fiber, and mounted on a printed circuit board.
5. To further reduce the thermal resistance, the cathode trace should be made as large as is consistent with good RF circuit design.

7. 1.6 mm below seating plane.
8. Minimum peak output power at 25˚C is –5.3 dBm (POF) and –16.0 dBm (HCS
®
) for 1505C series only.
9. Optical power measured at the end of 1 meter of 1 mm diameter plastic or 200
µm
hard clad silica optical fiber with a large area detector.
10. Pins 1 and 4 are for mounting and retaining purposes, but are electrically connected; pins 5 and 6 are electrically isolated. It is recommended that
pins 1, 4, 5, and 6 all be connected to ground to reduce coupling of electrical noise.
11. Output power with 200
µm
hard clad silica optical fiber assumes a typical –10.5 dB difference compared to 1 mm plastic optical fiber.
