Fiber Opt click

From MikroElektonika Documentation

Fiber Opt click is a compact and easy solution for adding fiber-optic communication to your design. It features IF-D91 fiber-optic photodiode, IF-E97 fiber-optic LED diode as well as two operational amplifiers. Provided plastic optic connectors feature an internal micro-lens and a precision-molded PBT housing to ensure efficient optical coupling with plastic fiber cable. Data rates of up to 512 Kbps can be achieved. Fiber Opt click communicates with the target MCU via UART interface or directly through the GPIO pins. UART position is set by default. Board is designed to use either 3.3V or 5V power supply.

Features and usage notes

Fiber Opt click

The combination of a fiber-optic photodiode and a fiber-optic diode constitutes a system for sending and receiving data. The configuration of components makes Fiber Opt click suitable for both analog and digital data links.

Schematic also available in PDF

Quoting from the manufacturer's data sheet, "the IFE97 is a high-optical-output, visible red LED housed in a “connector-less” style plastic fiber optic package. The output spectrum is produced by a GaAlAs die which peaks at 660 nm, one of the optimal transmission windows of PMMA plastic optical fiber. The device package features an internal micro-lens and a precision-molded PBT housing to ensure efficient optical coupling with standard 1000 um core plastic fiber cable."

The optical response of the corresponding IF-D91 is from 450 to 1100 nm.

You can either transmit data using UART, or, if you switch the position of the onboard UART/GPIO jumper, you can send a PWM signal through the optical cable.

Another onboard jumper is for setting the power supply at either 3.3V or 5V.

This simple code snippe demonstrates how to set up Fiber Opt click to transmit ADC values.
1 void main
char txt[20];
unsigned int adc_value = 0;

UART1_Init 19200 // Initialize UART module at 19200 bps

Delay_ms 100 ;
// Wait for UART module to stabilize
// Every 2 seconds transmit the ADC value over Fiber Optic
while 1
adc_value = adc_read 0 ;
