SD5421-002 Overview

The photodiodes are packaged in the Bulk for protection. In order to ensure safety, the photodiodes are packaged in TO-46 packages. Continuous reverse-bias means the photodiodes can withstand only 75V voltage. When the photodiodes are reverse-biased, the voltage should never exceed 75V. 3 pins are present on the photodiodes. Within a circuit, photodiodes could generate 150mW heat. When photodiodes operate, they should not be subjected to temperatures higher than 125°C. There should, however, be a minimum operating temperature of -55°C for the photodiodes. Generally, the maximum amount of heat released by photodiodes is 150mW. Photodiodes can work properly at 75V reverse voltage in the DC circuit. Despite the absence of light input, a photodiode generates 20nA electrical current.
