Silicon PIN Photodiode
Description
BPV21F(L) is a high speed and high sensitive PIN pho-
todiode in a plasic package with a cylindrical side view
lens. The epoxy package itself is an IR filter, spectrally
matched to GaAs or GaAs/GaAlAs IR emitters
(C0108
p
= 950 nm).
Lens radius and chip position are perfectly matched to
the chip size, giving high sensitivity without compro-
mising the viewing angle.
In comparison with flat packages the cylindrical lens
package achieves a sensitivity improvement of 20 %.
Features
C0068 Large radiant sensitive area (A = 5.7 mm
2
)
C0068 Wide viewing angle ϕ = ± 65 C0176
C0068 Fast response times
C0068 Low junction capacitance
C0068 TO–92 plastic package with IR filter
C0068 Filter designed for 950 nm transmission
C0068 Option ”L”: long lead package optional available
with suffix ”L”; e.g.: BPV23FL
94 8387
Applications
Infrared remote control and free air transmission systems in combination with IR emitter diodes (TSU...– or
TSI...–Series).
