Vishay Intertechnology Unveils New Silicon PIN Photodiode for Biomedical Use
Vishay Intertechnology Introduces High-Sensitivity Silicon PIN Photodiode for Biomedical Applications
BonChip Electronics, a leading distributor of Vishay Intertechnology's optoelectronic components, is excited to announce the availability of the new VEMD8082 silicon PIN photodiode. This advanced device offers exceptional sensitivity and performance, making it ideal for biomedical applications requiring precise light detection.
Enhanced Sensitivity for Biomedical Applications
The VEMD8082 addresses the critical need for high-sensitivity photodiodes in biomedical applications:
- Increased Reverse Light Current: The higher reverse light current enables improved light detection and signal-to-noise ratio.
- Decreased Diode Capacitance: The lower capacitance allows for faster response times and higher sampling rates.
- Faster Rise and Fall Times: The reduced rise and fall times enable more accurate and precise measurements.
Ideal for Photoplethysmography (PPG)
The VEMD8082 is particularly well-suited for PPG applications:
- Precise Blood Volume and Flow Measurements: The high sensitivity allows for accurate detection of changes in blood volume and flow.
- Improved Diagnostic Accuracy: Precise measurements are crucial for diagnosing and monitoring cardiovascular conditions.
Key Specifications
The VEMD8082 offers the following key specifications:
- Radiant Sensitive Area: 6.0 mm²
- Increased Reverse Light Current: 18-20% compared to previous generation devices
- Decreased Diode Capacitance: 50 pF to 46 pF
- Faster Rise Times: 40 ns vs. 110 ns
