High speed PIN photodiodes provide reliable signal detection

VISHAY INTERTECHNOLOGY VEMD5510C and VEMD5510CF high speed silicon PIN photodiodes deliver enhanced sensitivity for visible light. Devices provide infrared radiation suppression filters and black packages for an improved signal-to-noise ratio and deliver fast switching times and low capacitance in compact top-view, surface-mount packages. Devices feature a large radiant-sensitive area measuring 7.5 mm² and sensitivity ranges from 440nm to 700nm for the VEMD5510C and 440nm to 620nm for the VEMD5510CF, with reverse light currents of 0.6µA and 0.25µA, respectively.
