Description:

Each OPR5911 device is a four-element photodiode that is enclosed in a compact polyimide chip carrier and designed for a variety of encoder and control applications. The single chip construction ensures excellent matching and very tight dimensional tolerances between active areas. The custom opaque package shields the photodiodes from stray light and can withstand multiple exposures to the most demanding soldering conditions, while the wraparound gold-plated solder pads offer exceptions storage and wetting characteristics.

All cathodes in the OPR5911 are bonded together, which enables the elements to act in unison with limited external circuitry.

Features:

• Surface mountable

• Closely matched responsivity

• High temperature operation

• Common cathode connections

Applications:

• Encoder applications

• Control applications
