Photops™
Photodiode-Amplifier Hybrids
The Photop™ Series, combines a photodiode with an operational amplifier in the same package. Photops™ general-purpose detectors have a spectral range from either 350 nm to 1100 nm or 200 nm to 1100nm. They have an integrated package ensuring low noise output under a variety of operating conditions. These op-amps are specifically selected by UDT Sensors engineers for compatibility to our photodiodes. Among many of these specific parameters are low noise, low drift and capability of supporting a variety of gains and bandwidths determined by the external feedback components. Operation from DC level to several MHz is possible in an either unbiased configuration for low speed, low drift applications or biased for faster response time. LN-Series Photops™ are to be used with OV-bias. Any modification of the above devices is possible. The modifications can be simply adding a bandpass optical filter, integration of additional chip (hybrid) components inside the same package, utilizing a different op-amp, photodetector replacement, modified package design and / or mount on PCB or ceramic. For your specific requirements, contact one of our Applications Engineers.

Frequency Response (Photodiode/Amplifier Combination)
The frequency response of the photodiode / amplifier combination is determined by the characteristics of the photodetector, pre-amplifier as well as the feedback resistor (RF) and feedback capacitor (CF). For a known gain, (RF), the 3dB frequency response of the detector/pre-amp combination is given by:
(2)
However, the desired frequency response is limited by the Gain Bandwidth Product (GBP) of the op-amp. In order to have a stable output, the values of the RF and CF must be chosen such that the 3dB frequency response of the detector / pre-amp combination, be less than the maximum frequency of the op-amp, i.e. f3dB fmax.
(3)
where CA is the amplifier input capacitance. In conclusion, an example for frequency response calculations, is given below. For a gain of 108, an operating frequency of 100 Hz, and an opamp with GBP of 5 MHz:
(4)
Thus, for CF = 15.9 pF, CJ = 15 pF and CA = 7 pF, fmax is about 14.5 kHz. Hence, the circuit is stable since f 3dB fmax. For more detailed application specific discussions and further reading, refer to the APPLICATION NOTES INDEX in the catalog. Note: The shaded boxes represent the Photop™ components and their connections. The components outside the boxes are typical recommended connections and components.

Photodiode Care and Handling Instructions
AVOID DIRECT LIGHT
Since the spectral response of silicon photodiode includes the visible light region, care must be taken to avoid photodiode exposure to high ambient light levels, particularly from tungsten sources or sunlight. During shipment from UDT Sensors, your photodiodes are packaged in opaque, padded containers to avoid ambient light exposure and damage due to shock from dropping or jarring.
AVOID SHARP PHYSICAL SHOCK
Photodiodes can be rendered inoperable if dropped or sharply jarred. The wire bonds are delicate and can become separated from the photodiode’s bonding pads when the detector is dropped or otherwise receives a sharp physical blow.
CLEAN WINDOWS WITH OPTICAL GRADE CLOTH / TISSUE
Most windows on UDT Sensors photodiodes are either silicon or quartz. They should be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol and a soft (optical grade) pad.
OBSERVE STORAGE TEMPERATURES AND HUMIDITY LEVELS
Photodiode exposure to extreme high or low storage temperatures can affect the subsequent performance of a silicon photodiode. Storage temperature guidelines are presented in the photodiode performance specifications of this catalog. Please maintain a non-condensing environment for optimum performance and lifetime.
OBSERVE ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) PRECAUTIONS
UDT Sensors photodiodes, especially with IC devices (e.g. Photops) are considered ESD sensitive. The photodiodes are shipped in ESD protective packaging. When unpacking and using these products, anti-ESD precautions should be observed.
DO NOT EXPOSE PHOTODIODES TO HARSH CHEMICALS
Photodiode packages and/or operation may be impaired if exposed to CHLOROTHENE, THINNER, ACETONE, or TRICHLOROETHYLENE.
INSTALL WITH CARE
Most photodiodes in this catalog are provided with wire or pin leads for installation in circuit boards or sockets. Observe the soldering temperatures and conditions specified below:
Soldering Iron:
Soldering 30 W or less Temperature at tip of iron 300°C or lower. Bath Temperature: Immersion Time: Soldering Time: DO NOT USE DO NOT USE 260±5°C. within 5 Sec. within 3 Sec.
Dip Soldering:
Vapor Phase Soldering: Reflow Soldering:
Photodiodes in plastic packages should be given special care. Clear plastic packages are more sensitive to environmental stress than those of black plastic. Storing devices in high humidity can present problems when soldering. Since the rapid heating during soldering stresses the wire bonds and can cause wire to bonding pad separation, it is recommended that devices in plastic packages to be baked for 24 hours at 85°C. The leads on the photodiode SHOULD NOT BE FORMED. If your application requires lead spacing modification, please contact UDT Sensors Applications group at (310)978-0516 before forming a product’s leads. Product warranties could be voided.
