•

Linear short circuit current

•

Low capacitance

Description

The Silonex 5.1 x 5.1 solderable planar photodiodes

chips feature low cost, high reliability, and linear short

circuit current over a wide range of illumination.

These devices are widely used for light sensing and

power generation because of their stability and high

efficiency. They are particularly suited to power

conversion applications due to their low internal

impedance, relatively high shunt impedance, and

stability. These devices also provide a reliable and

inexpensive detector for instrumentation and light

beam sensing applications.
