DESCRIPTION
The SDP8476 is an NPN silicon phototransistor which
internal base- emitter shunt resistance. Transfer molding
of this device in a clear T- 1 plastic package assures
superior optical centerline performance compared to
other molding processes. Lead lengths are staggered to
provide a simple method of polarity identification.
Distinguising Feature:
This device incorporates all of the desired features of a
standard phototransistor with the advantage of low light
immunity. The phototransistor switching occurs when
the incident light increases above the threshold (knee
point). When the light level exceeds the knee point of
the device, it will function as a standard phototransistor.
Chart A illustrates the light current output of the low light
rejection phototransistor as compared to a standard
phototransistor with similar sensitivity.
Typical Application Uses:
Ideally suited for use in applications which require
ambient light rejection, or in transmissive applications
where the interrupter media is semi- transparent to
infrared energy. This device also provides high contrast
ratio in reflective applications where unwanted
background reflection is a possibility.

Designing with the Low Light Rejection
Phototransistor:
The Low Light Rejection detector is tested at different
incident light levels to determine adherence to the
specified knee point and light current slope. This method
assures proper functionality vs. standard
phototransistors, and guarantees required light current
output.
The light current slope is the change in light current
output at two given source irradiances divided by the
change in the two source irradiances.
(Formula

Slope = [I

Where:
2
•
I
L
slope is the light current slope in mA/mW/cm
•

•
H is the source intensity in mW/cm
Chart A shows the specified limits of light current slope
for the low light rejection phototransistor which begins its
2
slope at the typical knee point, 0.25mW/cm . To make a
clear distinction between this device and a standard
phototransistor, light current slopes for high and low
sensitivity standard phototransistors are also shown.
Note that for phototransistors of the same gain, the
slopes of the two products are parallel.
The knee point, the source irradiance needed to increase
I
L
to 50uA, is a necessary parameter for circuit design.
All variation in the knee point will be offset by the
internally guardbanded light current slope limits. The
appropriate formula for circuit design is the following:

To design a transmissive sensor with two of Honeywell’s
standard components, the SEP8506-003 and the
SDP8476-201, it is first necessary to determine the
2
irradiance level in mW/cm that will be incident on the
detector. The application conditions are the following:
