matched I.C. photodetector. A
bifurcated aspheric lens is used
to image the active areas of the
emitter and the detector to a
single spot 4.27 mm (0.168 in.)
in front of the package. The
reflected signal can be sensed
directly from the photodiode or
through an internal transistor
that can be configured as a high
gain amplifier.
Applications
Applications include pattern
recognition and verification,
object sizing, optical limit
switching, tachometry, textile
thread counting and defect
detection, dimensional monitor-
ing, line locating, mark, and bar
code scanning, and paper edge
detection.
Mechanical
Considerations
The HBCS-1100 is packaged in a
high profile 8 pin TO-5 metal can
with a glass window. The emitter
and photodetector chips are
mounted on the header at the
base of the package. Positioned
above these active elements is a
bifurcated aspheric acrylic lens
that focuses them to the same
point.

The sensor can be rigidly secured
by commercially available two
piece TO-5 style heat sinks, such
as Thermalloy 2205, or Aavid
Engineering 3215. These fixtures
provide a stable reference plat-
form and their tapped mounting
holes allow for ease of affixing
this assembly to the circuit board.
Electrical Operation
The detector section of the
sensor can be connected as a
single photodiode or as a
photodiode transistor amplifier.
When photodiode operation is
desired, it is recommended that
the substrate diodes be defeated
by connecting the collector of the
transistor to the positive potential
of the power supply and shorting
the base-emitter junction of the
transistor. Figure 15 shows
photocurrent being supplied from
the anode of the photodiode to an
inverting input of the operational
amplifier. The circuit is recom-
mended to improve the reflected
photocurrent to stray photocur-
rent ratio by keeping the
substrate diodes from acting as
photodiodes.
The cathode of the 700 nm
emitter is physically and
electrically connected to the case-
substrate of the device. Applica-
tions that require modulation or
switching of the LED should be
designed to have the cathode
connected to the electrical
ground of the system. This
insures minimum capacitive
coupling of the switching
transients through the substrate
diodes to the detector amplifier
section.
The HBCS-1100 detector also
includes an NPN transistor which
can be used to increase the
output current of the sensor. A
current feedback amplifier as
shown in Figure 6 provides
moderate current gain and bias
point stability.

CAUTION: The small junction sizes inherent to the design of this bipolar component increase the component's
susceptibility to damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD). It is advised that normal static precautions be
taken in handling and assembly of this component to prevent damage and/or degradation which may be
introduced by ESD.

3. Without heat sinking from T

4. Measured from a reflector coated with a 99% reflective white paint (Kodak 6080) positioned 4.27 mm (0.168 in.) from the
reference plane.
5. Peak-to-Peak response to black and white bar patterns.
6. Center of maximum signal point image lies within a circle of diameter D relative to the center line of the package. A second
emitter image (through the detector lens) is also visible. This image does not affect normal operation.
7. This measurement is made with the lens cusp parallel to the black-white transition.
8. Image size is defined as the distance for the 10%-90% response as the sensor moves over an abrupt black-white edge.
9. (+) indicates an increase in the distance from the reflector to the reference plane.
10. All voltages referenced to Pin 4.
11. CAUTION: The thermal constraints of the acrylic lens will not permit the use of conventional wave soldering procedures. The
typical preheat and post cleaning temperatures and dwell times can subject the lens to thermal stresses beyond the absolute
maximum ratings and can cause it to defocus.
