TIOPT101
Overview
The OPT101 is a monolithic photodiode with an on-chip transimpedance amplifier designed for linear light-to-voltage conversion. By integrating the detector and amplifier on a single die, it eliminates common design challenges like leakage currents, stray capacitance, and noise pickup associated with discrete transimpedance circuits.
Why Choose This Part
The integrated 1-M ohm feedback resistor simplifies design and ensures a stable 14 kHz bandwidth without external compensation. It operates across a wide supply range of 2.7V to 36V with a low quiescent current of 120 uA, making it highly versatile for both battery-powered and industrial rail systems.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
The through-hole 8-PDIP package allows for easy prototyping on standard breadboards. Connect the output directly to a microcontroller ADC and ensure the supply voltage is between 2.7V and 36V; no external op-amp or feedback components are required for basic operation.
