Fiber coupler characteristics TOSLINKTM
TOSLINKTM is a product that uses plastic fiber/optical adapters to transmit digital signals.
Optical transmission module: electrical signals are converted into optical signals and transmitted to optical fibers.
Fiber/optical adapter: The path of the optical signal, optical connectors are required at both ends.
Optical receiving module: It receives optical signals from optical fibers and converts them into electrical signals.

TOSLINK 1300 series long-distance transmission optical module driving method
The TOSLINK 1300 series can drive LEDs with a simple circuit.
Optical modules for long-distance transmission (TOTX1350/TORX1350A)
(a) IF = 1.5 mA drive (when the transmission distance is less than or equal to 50m)

(b) IF=6 mA drive (with transmission distance equal to 50m to 100m)

Depending on the type of logic IC (IOH/IOL>6mA),
One inverter circuit can also be used to drive the LED of the optical transmission module.
TOSLINK 1300 series low-power optical module driving method
B. Low-current optical modules (TOTX1350/TORX1355)
(a) IF = 4mA drive (when the transmission distance is less than or equal to 10m)

(b) IF=1.5 mA drive (when the transmission distance is less than or equal to 5m)

TOSLINK1300 series updates
TOSLINK 1300 series is a new series that can support longer distances and lower current consumption compared to TOSLINK 1900 series.
Package types are horizontal and vertical,
Provides chassis design flexibility.
Fiber optic connectorsUnidirectional optical module adapters TOCA1300/TOCA1301
The TOCA1301/1300 is an optical adapter connected to an optical transmitting module and an optical receiving module for short-distance data transmission.
