It features a wide spectral sensitivity range from 300nm to 1100nm and a 140-degree viewing angle, making it highly versatile for ambient light sensing and optical switching. The device is qualified according to AEC-Q101 guidelines for use in demanding environments.
Why Choose This Part
The component offers an extremely low typical dark current of 45pA, which improves signal-to-noise ratios in low-light conditions. Its Class 3B corrosion robustness and AEC-Q101 qualification ensure long-term stability in automotive and harsh industrial settings. Additionally, the wide 140-degree viewing angle and broad spectral range provide flexibility for various optical mechanical designs.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
To evaluate this photodiode, integrate it into a transimpedance amplifier (TIA) circuit using a high-precision op-amp to convert the photocurrent into a measurable voltage. Ensure proper PCB layout practices to minimize parasitic capacitance, which is critical for maintaining the 120ns response time. For prototyping, the 0805 SMT package can be hand-soldered onto standard breakout boards or integrated into custom PCBA designs.
