Application Hints
The TFDU5107 do not need any external components
when operated at a ”clean” power supply. In a more
power supply noisy ambient it is recommended to add
a combination of a resistor and capacitor (R1, C1, C2)
for noise suppression as shown in the figure below. A
combination of a electrolytic for the low frequency
range and a ceramic capacitor for suppressing the
high frequency disturbance will be most effective. The
capacitor C3 is only necessary when inductive wiring
is used or the power supply cannot deliver the
operating peak pulse current.
The inputs TXD and SD are high impedance CMOS
inputs. Therefore, the lines from the I/O to those inputs
should be carefully designed not to pick up ambient
noise. If long lines are used, loads at the Txd input of
the TFDx5x07 and at the Rxd input of the controller (!)
are recommended. At the IRED Anode voltage supply
line an additional capacitor might be necessary when
inductive wiring is used. However, a low impedance
layout is the better and more cost efficient solution. For
adjusting the intensity depending on the application,
see the diagrams.

Shut Down
To shut down the TFDx5x07 into a standby mode the
SD pin has to be set active. After a delay of < 1 ms it
will switch to the standby mode.

Latency
The receiver is in specified conditions after the defined
latency. In a UART related application after that time
(typically 50
μ
s) the receiver buffer of the UART must
be cleared. Therefore, the transceiver has to wait at
least the specified latency after receiving the last bit
before starting the transmission to be sure that the
corresponding receiver is in a defined state.
