Vishay's 850nm Infrared Emitters Feature ±10°, ±18° Viewing Angles

(Product News, 27 Jun 2008)

Vishay Intertechnology Inc. broadened its optoelectronics portfolio with the release of a new generation of 850nm infrared emitters in 5mm leaded packages. The TSHG5210 and TSHG6210 are available with ±10° viewing angle while the TSHG5410 and TSHG6410 devices are available with a ±18° viewing angle.

The devices are optimized for infrared illumination for CMOS and CCD cameras used in closed-circuit television (CCTV) security applications; high-speed infrared data transmission in home entertainment surround-sound systems, museums, and concert halls; and for particle detection in smoke detectors.

For security camera illumination, the emitters' high radiant intensity of 230mW/sr at 100mA for the ±10° devices and 90mW/sr at 100mA for the ±18° devices provide longer illumination distance and greater resolution.

For high-modulation operation, the new emitters feature switching times of 20ns, supporting data transmission rates up to 16Mbps. For smoke detectors, the higher radiant intensity of the ±10° devices allows for lower current operation to extend battery life.
