Photo ICs for optical link are designed as data links in POF Communications for short-distance high-speed digital applications. Hamamatsu offers transmitter/receiver photo ICs for POF communications that support a wide variety of transmission speeds ideal for factory automation, electronics and home entertainment. The lightweight transmitter photo IC combines a red LED, with a peak emission wavelength of 650 nm and a drive IC. The receiver photo IC is compatible with CMOS and is resistant to electromagnetic induction noise due to the monolithic integration of photo diode and signal processing circuit.
