Product details
Overview
AFBR-5803AZ from Broadcom is a 1300-nm FDDI/ATM/100BASE-FX fiber-optic transceiver in a 1×9 SIP package with duplex SC or ST connector interface, supporting 100 Mb/s to 125 Mbaud signaling over multimode fiber up to 2 km, compliant with ISO/IEC 9314-3 and ANSI X3.166 standards for backbone links in substation automation and factory networks.
For engineers reviewing the AFBR-5803AZ datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this transceiver delivers PECL-compatible differential data I/O, single-ended signal detect, –10°C to +85°C extended temperature operation, dual supply support (3.135–3.5 V or 4.75–5.25 V), and FDDI PMD-compliant optical performance on multimode fiber.
Technical Context
The AFBR-5803AZ integrates an InGaAsP LED transmitter and InGaAs PIN photodiode receiver with custom silicon driver and transimpedance preamplifier ICs, all housed in a shielded 1×9 SIP package with internal EMI suppression. Its optical subassembly uses low-cost lens elements and high-volume assembly for cost-effective 2-km multimode operation.
It supports differential PECL logic I/O referenced to VCC (–1.81 V to –0.88 V), features integrated signal detect with programmable thresholds (–45 dBm ON / –31 dBm OFF), and meets MIL-STD-883 Class 1 ESD immunity (>1500 V) and FCC/CISPR 22 Class B EMI limits with ≥9 dB margin using duplex SC or ST receptacles.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Temp | –10°C to +85°C ambient, enabling deployment in industrial substations and factory automation environments without forced cooling. |
| Supply Voltage | 3.135–3.5 V or 4.75–5.25 V - dual-rail compatibility allows integration into legacy +5 V or modern +3.3 V systems without level-shifting. |
| Optical Wavelength | 1300 nm center wavelength with ≤10 nm spectral width - optimized for low dispersion in 62.5/125 µm and 50/125 µm multimode fiber. |
| Output Power | –19 dBm (min, BOL) into 62.5/125 µm fiber - provides ≥12 dB optical power budget at 2 km per FDDI PMD standard compliance. |
| Data Rate | 10–125 Mbaud signaling range - supports 100BASE-FX, ATM UNI 3.0, and FDDI physical layer with guaranteed BER ≤10⁻⁶. |
| Signal Detect | –45 dBm (ON threshold), –31 dBm (OFF threshold), <100 µs assertion - enables robust link fault detection in noisy industrial optical paths. |
| Package | Industry-standard 1×9 SIP with duplex SC/ST receptacle - ensures multisource board footprint compatibility and mechanical interoperability. |
Pinout & Package
AFBR-5803AZ uses a 1×9 SIP package with 9 electrical pins and two isolated solder posts for mechanical anchoring. The package height complies with duplex SC connector clearance requirements (max 39.12 mm), and the housing is molded from filled nonconductive plastic for EMI shielding and electrical isolation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 9 | VEE (Ground) | Common emitter reference for PECL I/O; must be connected to system ground plane for signal integrity and EMI control. |
| 2, 3 | RD+ / RD− | Differential receiver data outputs - PECL-compatible, terminated to VCC–2 V via 50 Ω for impedance matching. |
| 4 | SD | Single-ended signal detect output - active-high open-emitter, requires pull-up to VCC for logic-level interfacing. |
| 5, 6 | VCC | Primary power supply inputs - dual VCC pins reduce IR drop and improve noise rejection in high-speed operation. |
| 7, 8 | TD+ / TD− | Differential transmitter data inputs - ECL-referenced, accept –1.81 V to –0.88 V swing; require split-load termination at PHY. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| FDDI PMD Compliance | Meets ISO/IEC 9314-3:1990 and ANSI X3.166–1990 optical specs - guarantees interoperability in certified FDDI backbone infrastructure. |
| 1300-nm LED Aging | <1 dB degradation over mission life - exceeds industry convention (1.5 dB), reducing link margin erosion in long-term deployments. |
| Dual Supply Support | Operates natively at +3.3 V or +5 V - eliminates external regulators and simplifies power architecture across mixed-voltage systems. |
| Wave Solder Compatible | Tin-copper/Ni-plated solder posts - withstands standard wave soldering and aqueous cleaning without optical alignment shift or EMI shield damage. |
| EMI Shielding | Internal shields for optical/electrical subassemblies - achieves ≥9 dB margin to CISPR 22 Class B, critical for EMC-certified industrial equipment. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fiber-optic transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AFBR-5803Z | Commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C); identical optical/electrical specs and pinout. | Not rated for extended industrial environments; unsuitable for substation or uncooled factory deployments. | Select AFBR-5803Z only for controlled indoor telecom or office LAN applications. |
| AFBR-5803ATZ | Same extended temperature range (–10°C to +85°C) but uses duplex ST connector instead of SC; otherwise identical electrical and optical behavior. | Requires different chassis cutout and panel-mount geometry; incompatible with SC-based infrastructure. | Choose AFBR-5803ATZ when ST connector mechanical interface is mandated by system design or legacy cabling. |
Compared with AFBR-5803Z and AFBR-5803ATZ, the AFBR-5803AZ uniquely combines extended temperature operation with duplex SC receptacle - making it the sole option for SC-based industrial fiber links requiring –10°C to +85°C reliability without mechanical redesign.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the AFBR-5803AZ?
The AFBR-5803AZ operates over an extended ambient temperature range of –10°C to +85°C, verified per its recommended operating conditions table in AV02-0606EN. This range corresponds to a case temperature of –10°C to +100°C with adequate airflow, making AFBR-5803AZ suitable for uncooled industrial enclosures and outdoor substation cabinets where thermal management is constrained.
Does the AFBR-5803AZ support both +3.3 V and +5 V supply rails?
Yes, the AFBR-5803AZ supports dual supply operation: 3.135–3.5 V or 4.75–5.25 V DC. Its internal driver and receiver ICs are designed to function correctly across both voltage ranges without configuration changes, and its PECL I/O levels scale accordingly - ensuring seamless integration into mixed-voltage systems without external level translators.
What optical fiber types and distances does the AFBR-5803AZ support?
The AFBR-5803AZ is specified for 2-km multimode fiber links using either 62.5/125 µm (NA = 0.275) or 50/125 µm (NA = 0.20) fiber, meeting FDDI PMD optical power budget requirements. At beginning-of-life, it delivers ≥–19 dBm into 62.5/125 µm fiber, providing sufficient margin for connector loss, splices, and aging - confirmed in Figure 6 of the AFBR-5803AZ datasheet.
How is signal detect functionality implemented in the AFBR-5803AZ?
The AFBR-5803AZ provides a single-ended signal detect (SD) output that asserts high when received optical power exceeds –45 dBm and deasserts when power falls below –31 dBm, with maximum acquisition times of 100 µs (assert) and 350 µs (deassert). This hysteresis prevents false toggling in marginal optical conditions and is fully compliant with FDDI PMD link fault detection timing requirements.
Is the AFBR-5803AZ RoHS compliant and lead-free solder compatible?
Yes, the AFBR-5803AZ is RoHS compliant and qualified for lead-free soldering. Its solder posts feature tin-copper over nickel plating, and electrical pins use pure tin over nickel plating - both rated for peak temperatures up to +260°C for 10 seconds, satisfying IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity and reflow profile requirements.
