• Industrial control networks
• Automotive infotainment systems
• Optical data links
• Consumer electronics

Features

• High sensitivity
• Wide operating voltage range
• Easy connection to plastic optical fiber
• Low power consumption
• Compact size

Benefits

• Reliable data transmission over optical fiber
• Immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI)
• Galvanic isolation between transmitter and receiver
• Simplified system design
• Cost-effective solution for optical data links

Additional Details

The TORX100 is designed to be compatible with standard plastic optical fiber with a core diameter of 1 mm. It operates at a wavelength of typically 650 nm. The data rate supported by the module depends on the specific variant, but it typically supports data rates up to several Mbps. The module requires a supply voltage of typically 3.3V or 5V. The output signal is typically a TTL-compatible signal. The operating temperature range is typically -20°C to +70°C.
