IF-D95: Plastic Fiber Optic Photologic Detectors

The IF-D95T and IF-D95OC are high-sensitivity photologic detectors housed in "connector-less" style plastic fiber optic packages. The detector contains an IC with a photodiode, linear amplifier, and Schmitt trigger logic circuit. The IF-D95T features a TTL/CMOS compatible totem-pole output, while the IF-D95OC has an open-collector output. The devices can drive up to 5 TTL loads over supply voltages ranging from 4.5 to 16 Volts. Optical response extends from 400 to 1100 nm, making them compatible with a wide range of visible and near infrared 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 1000µm core plastic fiber cable.

Application Highlights

The IF-D95T and IF-D95OC are suitable for digital data links at rates up to 125 kbps. A Schmitt trigger improves noise immunity and TTL/CMOS logic compatibility greatly simiplifes interfacing with existing digital circuits. The integrated design of the IF-D95 provides a total, cost-effective solution in a variety of digital applications
