Optical links target battery systems

The devices support data transmission of up to 6 Mbit/s between system nodes, while the two faster variants have rise and fall times of 9 nanoseconds, according to Vishay Intertechnology.

Samples and production quantities are available, with lead times of eight weeks. The component design supports side-view or top-view mounting and communication that is less vulnerable to electromagnetic interference than radio-frequency links.
