AFBR-0549Z, AFBR-0550Z

Evaluation Kits for the HFBR-1414PTZ Fiber Optic Transmitter

and the AFBR-2418TZ/AFBR-2419TZ Fiber Optic Receivers

Product Brief

Description

The AFBR-0549Z/AFBR-0550Z evaluation kits provide sys-

tem designers with a convenient means to evaluate the

performance of the HFBR-1414PTZ fiber optic transmitter

and the AFBR-2418TZ/AFBR-2419TZ fiber optic receivers.

Each evaluation board is mounted with an HFBR-1414PTZ

module, which will be used as the reference transmitter;

an AFBR-2418TZ or an AFBR-2419TZ module; two SMA

connectors for input/output signals; and two 2-pin head-

ers, one for monitoring the electrical input signal supplied

to the transmitter section of the evaluation board (JP1)

and the other one for monitoring the electrical output

signal generated by the receiver (JP2).

The evaluation board is a two-layer PCB designed for up

to 50 Mbit/s. The transceiver lines are placed below the

ground plane (top side) to ensure a low inductance signal

return path and continuous impedance along the trace.

The ground plane under/around the transceiver helps dis-

sipate thermal energy. For best transceiver performance,

the decoupling capacitor and ferrite bead should be

placed as close as possible to the transceiver supply volt-

age.
