Description

BPV20F is a high speed and high sensitive PIN photodiode in a plastic package with a cylindrical side view lens. The epoxy package itself is an IR filter, spectrally matched to GaAs or GaAs/GaAlAs IR emitters ( p=950nm).

Lens radius and chip position of BPV20F are perfectly matched to the chip size, giving high sensitivity without compromising the viewing angle.

In comparison with flat packages of BPV20F the cylindrical lens package achieves a sensitivity improvement of 20 %.
