Photodiode
Beginner's Guide to Special Purpose Diodes and Their Applications
Diodes are one of the most commonly used semiconductor devices in various electronic circuits. A diode is a two terminal device that allows the flow of current in only one direction.
Photodiode
What is Photodiode? Photodiodes, as the name suggest, are just another type of diodes having an anode and cathode similar to normal LEDs. But, unlike LEDs they do not emit light.
VEMD4010X01 / VEMD4110X01 - Compact Surface-Mount Photodiodes Eliminates Unwanted Side Illumination and Increases Signal to Noise Ratio
Vishay Intertechnology has come up with two new AEC-Q101 qualified devices in the compact 0805 case size with a low 0.7 mm profile which is 0.15 mm lower compared to preceding generation devices.
BPW34 Photodiode
The BPW34 is a high speed photodiode with good photo sensitivity. It responds to visible and near infrared radiation. It has a breakdown voltage of 60V with a rise and fall time of 100ns that is a switching speed of 20nS.
