An optical transmitter/receiver pair has an integrated CMOS circuit that provides a current flow to a pre-biased solid state light emitting device (LED) in response to the presence or absence of a digital input signal. The current flow is augmented at the rising and falling edges of the input signal to enhance turn-on and turn-off speed of the LED. The LED is optically coupled to a photodiode that produces a current flow in response to illumination. The photodiode is shielded from spurious electronic noise by a transparent shield and the output of the photodiode is amplified to produce an output voltage, which is connected to a capacitively delayed voltage divider. The voltage divider generates a time delayed threshold voltage connectable along with the output voltage to the inputs of a comparator. |
