Overview

The VBPW34FAS is a high-speed silicon PIN photodiode in a surface-mount gullwing package, featuring an integrated daylight blocking filter. It is optimized for infrared radiation detection in the 780nm to 1050nm range with a wide half-sensitivity angle of +/- 65 degrees.

Why Choose This Part

The integrated daylight filter increases the signal-to-noise ratio by blocking visible light interference. Its gullwing SMD package allows for automated assembly while the large 7.5 square millimeter sensitive area ensures high radiant sensitivity.

Applications

Infrared Remote Control
Highly effective as a receiver for IR remote control units due to its daylight filter and wide angle of view.
Industrial Optical Links
Used for high-speed data transmission in optical links where ambient light rejection is critical.
Light Barriers
Acts as a reliable detector in industrial safety curtains and object detection barriers.
Proximity Sensors
Integrated into active infrared proximity systems for presence detection in consumer and industrial hardware.

Getting Started

When designing with this photodiode, ensure the cathode is reverse-biased to minimize response time and junction capacitance. Use a high-speed transimpedance amplifier (TIA) for converting the small photocurrent into a usable voltage while maintaining the device's inherent speed.
