Overview

The VSMY2850GX01 is a high-power infrared emitting diode based on Vishay Surface Emitter technology. It operates at a peak wavelength of 850nm and is housed in a compact surface-mount Gull Wing package. This AEC-Q101 qualified component provides very high radiant intensity and is designed for high-speed, high-pulse current operations.

Why Choose This Part

This emitter utilizes Vishay Surface Emitter technology to deliver a high radiant intensity of 70mW/sr at 100mA while maintaining a narrow 20-degree viewing angle. Its high speed and ability to handle high pulse currents make it ideal for high-bandwidth applications up to 100MHz.

Applications

Automotive Sensors
AEC-Q101 qualification and high reliability make it suitable for in-vehicle proximity and occupancy sensing.
Miniature Light Barriers
The narrow 20-degree half-angle and high radiant intensity allow for precise long-range object detection.
Optical Switches
Used as an emitter source in high-speed optical switching and photointerrupter circuits.
Proximity Sensors
Provides the infrared source for proximity systems in industrial and consumer electronics.

Getting Started

When designing the drive circuit, ensure the forward current does not exceed 100mA DC, though higher peak currents are possible in pulsed mode. This emitter is designed to be optically matched with the VEMD2500X01 series of silicon PIN photodiodes for optimal system performance. Use standard SMT reflow profiles as specified in the AEC-Q101 documentation.
