S7183

Photo IC diodes S7183 S7184 Linear current amplification of photodiode output The S7183 and S7184 consist of a photodiode and a signal processing circuit for amplifying the photocurrent generated from the photodiode up to 1300 times. Despite a small active area, these photo ICs provide an output nearly equal to that from photodiodes with a 20 × 20 mm active area. Both S7183 and S7184 can be used the same way as a reverse-biased photodiode, and in most cases, they deliver a sufficient output voltage by just connecting a load resistor. Features Applications Clear plastic package Operation just as easy as using photodiodes Large output current rivaling that of a phototransistor Good linearity Energy saving sensors for TV brightness controls, etc. Light dimmers for liquid crystal panels Various types of light level measurement Absolute maximum ratings (Ta=25 °C) Parameter Symbol Condition Value Unit Reverse voltage Photocurrent Forward current Power dissipation*1 VR IL I...
