VTS Process Photodiodes
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This series of planar, P on N, large area silicon
photodiodes is characterized for use in the
photovoltaic (unbiased) mode. Their excellent speed
and broadband sensitivity makes them ideal for
detecting light from a variety of sources such as
LEDs, IREDs, flashtubes, incandescent lamps,
lasers, etc. Improved shunt resistance minimizes
amplifier offset and drift in high gain systems. The
solderable contact system on these photodiodes
provides a cost effective design solution for many
applications.
