The MediSpec SMI is an RCLED based 650nm solution enabling robust and reliable termination of Plastic Optical Fiber (POF) The optical transceiver is designed to provide up to 250 Mbps data communication link over 50 m link length [1] over Step Index POF (NA 0.5) and it operates over the temperature range of -20 to +85 C. The stand-out feature of this solution is the ability for it to be used in applications with exposure to strong magnetic fields. The transceiver is compatible with low-voltage differential signalling (LVDS) for seamless integration into existing logic bus structures and is ideal for use with an FPGA or ASIC. The electrical power saving feature puts driver IC into a sleep state and switches off the RCLED if there is no data or toning on the input bus to the transmitter. Similarly at the receiver side, if no optical toning or data signal is present, the receiver IC will switch into a sleep mode and power consumption is reduced to approximately 40μA. (1). Link length depends on the installation conditions MediSpec SMI Features and Benefits Specific non-ferrous lead frame 250 Mbps NRZ symbol rate and compatible with 8B/10B encoding Resonant Cavity LED (RCLED) at red 650 nm with small emission aperture suitable for POF RCLED reliability tested to over 400,000 hours lifetime Power saving features Integrated CMOS driver IC for RCLED Integrated optics to efficiently focus light for fiber coupling High sensitivity CMOS receiver IC and pin-diode Ideal for use in applications with exposure to strong magnetic fields Different encoding schemes possible Enhanced spectral and modulation behavior compared to conventional planar LEDs (due to the resonant optical cavity).

Regulatory Compliance Eye safety: Class 1 with compliance of IEC-60825-1 ESD: 2kV Human Body Model (HBM) with compliance of JESD22 A114 Solder Profile The SMI transceiver may be soldered to max 260 C for 10 seconds, one time only, at least 2.20mm away from lead root. Parts are suitable for wave soldering. They are not suitable for reflow soldering. Hand soldering is not recommended for production due to the uncontrolled nature of this process. Typical solder profile (maximum peak temperature 260 C), Handling SMI transceivers are tested for handling in static controlled assembly processes (HBM). Cleaning, degreasing and post solder washing should be carried out using standard solutions compatible with both plastics and the environment. For example, recommended solutions for degreasing are alcohols, (methyl, isopropyl and isobutyl). In the soldering process, non-halogenated water soluble fluxes are recommended. SMI transceivers are not suitable for use in reflow solder processes (infrared/vapor-phase reflow). The dust plug should be kept in place during soldering, washing and drying processes to avoid contamination of the active optical area. Storage conditions 1.
