Optek unveils surface mount photo light sensor

Optek Technology has developed a small surface mount packaged photo light sensor with a digital output, said to be ideal for applications with limited space.

The OPL611 series sensors feature data rates to 250kBaud and consist of a Photologic chip encapsulated in transparent moulded plastic, providing optical coupling as well as mechanical protection.

The surface mount sensors measure 3 x 3mm with a height of 1mm, and are mechanically and spectrally matched to Optek's OP180, OP200, OP250, OP270 and OP280 series infrared LEDs.

Available with buffer and inverter 10K internal pull-up as well as open collector outputs, the sensors feature a direct TTL/LSTTL CMOS interface.

Minimum input power is 1.0mW/cm2, VCC ranges from 4.5-16V, and operating temperature range is from -40C to +85C.
