The ODA-6W-500M operates from ±5 to ±15V and is supplied in a hermetically sealed TO-39 can with operating and storage temperature ranges of -25°C to +100°C.
Martin Sharratt – Managing Director of APT said “the ODA-6W-500M is an exciting addition to Opto Diode’s range of detector-preamplifiers as it offers systems designers very high sensitivity in combination with low noise. The ODA-6W-500M is ideally suited to applications n the low pW region where discrete detector and preamplifier solutions lack the required sensitivity”.
Applications for these devices are low-light-level (less than 1 mW) tasks where electrical noise can affect the photodiode signal if the detector and amplifier are separate components on a circuit board. Typical examples are medical diagnostics; test & measurement; fluorescence detection and spectroscopy.
The ODA-6W-500M is manufactured at Opto Diode’s state-of-the-art facility in Newbury Park, California in their Class 1000 cleanroom and high volume fully-automated packaging facility.
