PHOTO
IC
Photo IC for laser beam synchronous detection
Photo IC with switchable internal amplifier gain
S7858
S7858 uses a dual-element PIN photodiode and compares the two photocurrent signals to maintain a highly stable output even when input laser
power or ambient temperature fluctuates. The internal amplifier gain is switchable with changes in the input laser power.
