Vishay Intertechnology broadens its optoelectronics portfolio with the introduction of a new high speed silicon PIN photodiode with enhanced sensitivity to visible and infrared light. Featuring a rectangular 4.8 mm by 2.5 mm topview, surface-mount package with an industry-low 0.48 mm profile, the Vishay Semiconductors VEMD8081 offers increased typical reverse light current of 33 µA for improved bio sensor performance in wearable devices and medical applications.
The Key Specifications:
Offers 15 % greater reverse light current than its predecessor, the VEMD8080, while maintaining the same package dimensions
Utilizes Vishay’s proven wafer technology to detect visible and near infrared radiation
The device provides designers with a drop-in replacement that can improve performance by increasing signal output, or extend battery life by reducing LED current
For heart rate measurement in wearable devices, the light reflected off the skin is received by the photodiode and converted to an output current, with the device’s increased sensitivity enabling more accurate measurements
The VEMD8081’s rectangular shape maximizes the area of the photodiode receiving reflected light, eliminating the wasted area typically found in square photodiodes
Product Benefits:
Enhanced sensitivity to visible and infrared light
Radiant-sensitive area measuring 5.4 mm²
Wide spectral range from 350 nm to 1100 nm
Fast switching times and low capacitance of 50 pF enable high sampling rates
± 65° angle of half-sensitivity
Temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C
840 nm wavelength of peak sensitivity
RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and Vishay Green
Moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of 3 in accordance with J-STD-020 for a floor life of 168 hours
Market Applications:
Optical heart rate detection in wearable devices such as fitness trackers and smartwatches when placed between two pulsing green LEDs
SpO2 measurement in medical monitors when combined with red and infrared emitters
