High sensitive photodiodes
General Description
The epc200 is a high-sensitive, high-speed, low-cost photo diode
for light-barriers, light-curtains, and similar applications. These
photo diodes are designed to be used in a reverse-bias mode,
whereas the reverse bias voltage can be between 1.5 and 20
Volts. This device allows the design of short to long range light bar -
riers from a few millimeters up to tens of meters.
The diodes feature a very high quantum efficiency of 90% in the
near IR range, a reverse breakdown voltage of up to 30 Volts and
a response time down to less than 100ns.
The advanced Chips Scale Package (CSP) makes this device ide-
al for miniaturized systems where a minimal space requirement is
key.
