DESCRIPTION

· Phototransistors integrate photodiode-amplifier combinations on a single silicon chip.
· They amplify the photodiode's output current using a conventional transistor.
· Typical gain ranges from 100 to over 1500, overcoming photodiode's unity gain limitation.
· Offer a cost-effective alternative to external amplification circuits.

FEATURES

· Low cost detection for visible and near IR light.
· Low dark current.
· Available with integrated visible or IR filtering.
· Wide range of package options.
· RoHs compliant.
· Surface mounting device with solid state ceramic chip.
· High thermal conductivity.
· Special type (CR50TE-DLF) with optional daylight filter.

APPLICATIONS

· Coin counters.
· Position sensors.
· Remote controllers.
· Ambient light sensing.
· Street light switching.
· Oil burner flame monitoring.
· Safety shields.
· Margin control in printers.
· Monitor paper position and stack height.
