ACS103

Description

The ACS103 is a complete synchronous opticalmodem controller/driver IC, supporting various user-programmable, full-duplex data-rates to 25.

Key Features

  • Enables three full-duplex serial transmission channels through a single fiber optic cable, providing a virtual six fiber path.
  • Link lengths up to 5 km.
  • Uses a single Ping Pong LED (PPLED) to both transmit and receive data.
  • Supports 7 synchronous data rates up to 64 kbps or asynchronous data rates from DC to 19.2/ 9.6 kbps.
  • Supports three additional low frequency asynchronous channels or RS-232 handshake signals: RTS, CTS, DTR and DSR.
  • BER 10-9.
  • Digital mode, allowing the user to add an external amplifier. Also enables the ACS103 be used in non-fiber applications e.g. IR/RF.
  • ACS101 emulation mode giving 100 % compatibility with the ACS101.
