SDP8600-001

The SDP8600-001 is a single-chip Optoschmitt IC, detectors moulded in a side-looking black plastic package to minimize the effect of visible ambient light. The photodetector consists of a photodiode, amplifier, voltage regulator, Schmitt trigger and an NPN output transistor with a 10kR (nominal) pull-up resistor. Output rise and fall times are independent of the rate of change of incident light. Detector sensitivity has been internally temperature compensated. Flexibility of use is enhanced by a choice of three different lead configurations, in-line (SDP8601/8611), 0.05-inch (1.27mm) offset pin circle (SDP8600/8610) and 0.10-inch (2.54mm) offset centre lead (SDP8602/8612). Buffer - Output is HI when incident light intensity is above the turn-on threshold level. Inverter - Output is LO when incident light intensity is above the turn-on threshold level.
