Function
These products integrate a photodiode chip and an IC chip into the same package. The photodiode chip is internally connected to the IC
chip as shown in the block diagram. The products should be used with terminal Ro connected to an external gain resistance Ro.
A photocurrent is generated when a laser beam enters the photodiode. This photocurrent is fed to the input terminal of the IC and, after
being amplified by the current amplifier, flows to the external gain resistance. At this time, voltages VRO at terminal Ro is given by the
following expression.
VRO=A × S × PI × Ro [V] ·········· (1)
A: Current amplifier gain (S10317, S11257-02DT: 20 times, S10317-01, S11257-01DT: 6 times)
S: Photodiode sensitivity [A/W] (approx. 0.44 A/W at 780 nm)
PI: Input power [W]
Ro: External gain resistance [Ω]; usable range 2 kΩ to 10 kΩ
VRO is input to the internal comparator and compared with the internal reference voltage Vref (approx. 0.8 V) so the output Vo is “High”
when VRO < Vref or “Low” when VRO > Vref.
In equation (1), VRO should not exceed 8 times of the voltage calculated from the threshold light level.
(Monitoring VRO shows that it is limited to about 2 V (with respect to GND) by the voltage limiting circuit. Keep this in mind when
monitoring.)
