Silicon photodiode VTB1013BH

wavelength-sensitive

Product overview
The VTB1013BH is a silicon photodiode in a hermetic TO-46 flat window package with a built-in IR rejection filter to limit the response to the visible portion of the spectrum. It features a 1.6 mm² active area, is primarily intended for photovoltaic mode but may be used with a small reverse bias, and is designed to exhibit very high shunt resistance and very low dark current, yielding low offsets when used in high-gain trans-impedance amplifier circuits.

Features & Benefits:

• Visible spectral range
• 1%–2% linearity over 7 to 9 decades
• Very low dark current
• Very high shunt resistance
• RoHS compliant

Applications:

• Interior and exterior light control and light switching
• Automotive headlight dimmer
• Display contrast control
• Energy conservation

Technical specifications:

• Active area = 1.6 mm²
• Short circuit current = Minimum 0.8 µA at 100 fc, 2850 K
• Dark current = Maximum 20 pA at 2 V reverse bias
• Junction capacitance = Typical 0.31 nF at 0 V bias
• Spectral range = 330 nm to 720 nm
