Synonyms: photodiodes PIN-diode

Anything about photodiodes, a particular type of semiconductor diode sensible to light radiation.

Photodiodes are used as detectors and sensors for IR, visible and UV radiation. They are usually based on a PN-junction structure or a PIN-structure.

A common application is at the receiving end of an IR communication link, like the one established by a TV remote control. The photodiode acts as a photoelectric transducer, converting the IR pulses transmitted by the remote into electrical signals that the TV set can interpret as commands.

Q&A Photodiode transimpedance amplifier with single supply

I have a photodiode and I want to connect it to an ADC to read the ambient light. For the context, non linearity is not an issue as I'm interested in knowing the amount of light in 3-4 levels. The...

Q&A Choosing between common-drain JFET amplifier, and common-source

Do common-source JFET amplifiers have an advantage over common-drain? The JFET would be in a low noise photodiode amplifier. The signal is 100us pulses with 10us raise times. Here are the schema...
