PHOTODIODE
Si photodiode with preamp
S8745-01, S8746-01
Photodiode and preamp integrated with feedback resistance and capacitance
S8745-01, S8746-01 are low-noise sensors consisting of Si photodiode, op amp, and feedback resistance and capacitance, all integrated into a
small package. By simply connecting to a power supply, S8745-01 and S8746-01 can be used in low-light-level measurement such as analytical
equipment and measurement equipment. The active area of the photodiode is internally connected to the GND terminal making it highly resistant
to EMC noise.

The built-in feedback resistance and capacitance of S8745-
01 and S8746-01 are 1 GΩ and 5 pF, respectively. This
combination provides a sensitivity of about 0.1 to 0.5 V/nW in
the wavelength range of 190 to 1100 nm.

The current-to-voltage conversion gain can be varied by connecting an external feedback resistor between pins 4 and 6
for S8745-01, and between pins 9 and 12 for S8746-01 (see figure 5). Figure 2 shows the frequency response
characteristics of S8745-01 and S8746-01 with or without an externally connected feedback resistor. Because S8745-01
and S8746-01 have a built-in resistor of 1 GΩ, for example the total feedback resistance will be converted to 100 MΩ by
externally connecting a resistor of 111 MΩ. Choose the desired constant according to the incident light level to be
detected.
Note) If the external feedback resistor is 1 M
Ω
or less, gain peaking may occur in the frequency response. Therefore, be sure to
connect a matched feedback capacitor for phase compensation.

Output noise voltage and NEP (noise equivalent power) characteristics allow you to check whether the device can detect the low-
level light you want to measure. Since NEP is given by the equation (1) as shown at the right, NEP at wavelengths other than
λp
can
be easily calculated from Figure 1 and Figures 4.
Note) When S8745-01 and S8746-01 are used only with the internal current-to-voltage gain, it is recommended that the "-IN" lead (pin 6 for S8745-
01; pin 9 for S8746-01) be cut off to a short length in order to reduce the influence of external noise as much as possible.

S8745-01 and S8746-01 use a package with the guard ring effect provided. To make it effective during measurement, the
package leads (pin 5 for S8745-01; pins 5 and 11 for S8746-01) should be connected to the ground line.
When a feedback resistor is externally connected, it is necessary to provide a guard ring on the circuit board or to provide a teflon
standoff for the leads.
Note) A tantalum or ceramic capacitor of 0.1 to 10 µF must be connected to the supply voltage leads (pins 3 and 9 for S8745-01;
pins 1 and 4 for S8746-01) as a bypass capacitor used to prevent the device from oscillation.

Precautions for Use
q
ESD
S8745-01 and S8746-01 may be damaged or their performance may deteriorate by such factors as electro static discharge
from the human body, surge voltages from measurement equipment, leakage voltages from soldering irons and packing
materials. As a countermeasure against electro static discharge, the device, operator, work place and measuring jigs must
all be set at the same potential. The following precautions must be observed during use:
· To protect the device from electro static discharge which accumulate on the operator or the operator's clothes, use a wrist
strap or similar tools to ground the operator's body via a high impedance resistor (1 MΩ).
· A semiconductive sheet (1 MΩ to 100 MΩ) should be laid on both the work table and the floor in the work area.
· When soldering, use an electrically grounded soldering iron with an isolation resistance of more than 10 MΩ.
· For containers and packing, use of a conductive material or aluminum foil is effective. When using an antistatic material, use
one with a resistance of 0.1 MΩ/cm
2
to 1 GΩ/cm
2.
q
Wiring
If electric current or voltage is applied in reverse polarity to an electronic device such as a preamplifier, this can degrade
device performance or destroy the device. Always check the wiring and dimensional outline to avoid misconnection.
