General Description:

The ACS101A is a complete controller, driver and receiver IC, supporting full duplex asynchronous transmission from DC to 76.8kbps and synchronous data rates up to 512kbps over one optical fiber. The ACS101A also supports two additional low frequency asynchronous channels or RS-232 handshake signals, RTS, CTS, DTR and DSR.

ACS101A Main Features:

* Full duplex serial transmission over one fiber.

* Link lengths up to 5km.

* Supports asynchronous data rates from DC to 76.8kbps.

* Supports synchronous data rates up to 512kbps.

* Full diagnostic modes - Remote and Local loopback.

* Uses a single Ping Pong LED (PPLED) to both receive and transmit data for single fiber operation.

* Supports two additional low frequency asynchronous channels or the RS-232 handshake signals.

* Digital mode for non fiber applications - RF.

* Bit Error Rate (BER) < 10^-9

* Available in 44 pin PLCC package.
