New automotive-qualified miniature PIN photodiodes and phototransistors from Vishay
Vishay has introduced the new AEC-Q101-qualified miniature TEMD7x00X01 PIN photodiodes and TEMT7x00X01 phototransistors available with spectral sensitivity to ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared, or to near-infrared radiation only.
The TEMD7x00X01 and TEMT7x00X01 photo detectors are optimized for ambient light, tunnel, and rain sensors in automotive applications, light curtains and barriers and encoding wheels in industrial applications.
The photodiodes combine a 100-ns response time with a spectral sensitivity range of 350 nm to 1120 nm or 750 nm to 1050 nm, while the phototransistors offer a high light current of 450 µA and spectral sensitivity range of 470 nm to 1090 nm or 750 nm to 1010 nm with a visible light filtering epoxy. The TEMD7x00X01 and TEMT7x00X01 devices feature a 1-nA dark current, ± 60° angle of half sensitivity, and have a matching emitter in the 940-nm VSMB1940X01.
