New 4 Mbps Photodiode for IrDA Transceivers
Advanced Photonix, Inc.(R) (Camarillo, CA) has introduced a new 4 Mbps silicon PIN photodiode, specifically tailored for price-sensitive OEM optical communication applications. The new SD150-13-003 is primarily intended for use in IrDA-compatible transceivers, and is also useful for fiber-optic LANs, and VCSEL-based IR links.
In terms of operating characteristics, the SD150-13-003 offers exceptionally low capacitance and fully depletes at low voltages, resulting in fast response characteristics. Rise and fall times have been optimized for digital transmission, and signal tailing, a common problem for photodiodes operating at low bias, is largely eliminated. The SD150-13-003 also has excellent quantum efficiency (>80% between 500 nm and 850 nm), yielding higher sensitivity and thus extending the effective operating range of IrDA enabled peripherals.
The SD150-13-003 is nominally supplied as an unpackaged chip with an active area of 1.4 mm2. Advanced Photonix can produce customized versions of the product to suit specific OEM requirements, as well as assemble the detector into IrDA transceiver modules.
Advanced Photonix, Inc.(R) (ASE: API) is a leading supplier of innovative, silicon-based electro-optical products and design solutions to a global OEM customer base. Products include the patented Large Area Avalanche Photodiode (LAAPD) and Filtrode(R) detectors, as well as PIN photodiodes.
