BPV20F
Vishay Telefunken
Silicon PIN Photodiode
Description
BPV20F is a high speed and high sensitive PIN photo-
diode in a plastic package with a cylindrical side view
lens. The epoxy package itself is an IR filter, spectrally
matched to GaAs or GaAs/GaAlAs IR emitters
(
l
p
=950nm).
Lens radius and chip position are perfectly matched to
the chip size, giving high sensitivity without compro-
mising the viewing angle.
In comparison with flat packages the cylindrical lens
package achieves a sensitivity improvement of 20 %.
