Vishay Intertechnology High Speed PIN Photodiode Delivers Precise Signal Detection, Enables Slim Sensor Designs for Wearables...
March 22 2017 - 11:00AM
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE:VSH) today broadens its
optoelectronics portfolio with the introduction of a new high speed
silicon PIN photodiode with enhanced sensitivity for visible light.
Offered in a compact 5 mm by 4 mm top-view, surface-mount package
with a low 0.9 mm profile, the Vishay Semiconductors VEMD5080X01
offers fast switching times and low capacitance for precise signal
detection in wearable devices and medical, industrial, and
automotive applications.
Offering a large radiant-sensitive area measuring 7.5 mm² — and
high radiant sensitivity with a reverse light current of 45 µA and
dark current of 0.2 nA — the device released today detects visible
and near infrared radiation over a wide sensitivity range from 350
nm to 1100 nm. For green LEDs, the VEMD5080X01’s sensitivity
represents a 30 % improvement over previous-generation
solutions.
When used with Vishay’s VLMTG1400 green LED, the photodiode’s
small size and sensitivity enable slim sensor designs for optical
heart rate detection in wearable devices such as fitness trackers
and smart watches. When combined with Vishay’s VSMD66694 660 nm and
940 nm dual color emitting diodes, the device is ideal for SpO2
measurement in medical monitors. In addition, it provides high
speed photo detection in smoke detectors with dual-wavelength light
sources and automotive dust and particle sensors in combination
with a red diode.
The VEMD5080X01 features a ± 65° angle of half-sensitivity, a
wide temperature range of -40 °C to +110 °C, and 950 nm
wavelength of peak sensitivity. The robust device is tested to
AEC-Q101 standards for Automotive Grade semiconductors.
RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and Vishay Green, the photodiode
provides a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of 4 in accordance with
J-STD-020 for a floor life of 72 hours. Wettable flanks allow for
optical solder joint inspection.
Samples and production quantities of the VEMD5080X01 are
available now, with lead times of eight to 10 weeks for large
orders.
