ABSTRACT:
A source of light modulated by input data provides the modulated light to a phototransistor. A capacitor couples the emitter of the phototransistor to ground. A discharging transistor switch is coupled across the capacitor and a voltage comparator is coupled to the phototransistor emitter for providing a signal when the voltage across the capacitor exceeds a predetermined threshold. A microprocessor coupled to the comparator actuates the discharging switch in accordance with the comparator output.
