FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
● SINGLE SUPPLY: +2.7 to +36V
The OPT101 is a monolithic photodiode with on-chip
transimpedance amplifier. Output voltage increases
linearly with light intensity. The amplifier is designed
for single or dual power supply operation, making it
ideal for battery operated equipment.
● PHOTODIODE SIZE: 0.090 x 0.090 inch
● INTERNAL 1MΩ FEEDBACK RESISTOR
● HIGH RESPONSIVITY: 0.45A/W (650nm)
● BANDWIDTH: 14kHz at RF = 1MΩ
● LOW QUIESCENT CURRENT: 120µA
The integrated combination of photodiode and
transimpedance amplifier on a single chip eliminates
the problems commonly encountered in discrete designs such as leakage current errors, noise pick-up and
gain peaking due to stray capacitance. The 0.09 x 0.09
inch photodiode is operated in the photoconductive
mode for excellent linearity and low dark current.
The OPT101 operates from +2.7V to +36V supplies
and quiescent current is only 120µA. It is available in

MOISTURE SENSITIVITY
AND SOLDERING
(1)
Clear plastic does not contain the structural-enhancing fillers
used in black plastic molding compound. As a result, clear
plastic is more sensitive to environmental stress than black
plastic. This can cause difficulties if devices have been stored
in high humidity prior to soldering. The rapid heating during
soldering can stress wire bonds and cause failures. Prior to
soldering, it is recommended that plastic devices be baked-out
at +85°C for 24 hours.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
source to sink currents up to approximately 100µA. The
benefits of this current sink are shown in the typical
performance curves “Small Signal Response (CLOAD =
10,000pF)” which compare operation with pin 3 grounded
and connected to –15V.
Figure 1 shows the basic connections required to operate the
OPT101. Applications with high-impedance power supplies
may require decoupling capacitors located close to the
device pins as shown. Output is 7.5mV dc with no light and
increases with increasing illumination.
Due to the architecture of this output stage current sink, there
is a slight increase in operating current when there is a voltage
between pin 3 and the output. Depending on the magnitude of
this voltage, the quiescent current will increase by
approximately 100µA as shown in the typical performance
curve "Quiescent Current vs (VOUT – VPIN3)".
Photodiode current, ID, is proportional to the radiant power, or
flux, (in watts) falling on the photodiode. At a wavelength of
650nm (visible red) the photodiode Responsivity, RI, is
approximately 0.45A/W. Responsivity at other wavelengths is
shown in the typical performance curve “Responsivity vs
Wavelength.”

FIGURE 2. Bipolar Power Supply Circuit Connections.
The typical performance curve “Output Voltage vs Radiant
Power” shows the response throughout a wide range of
radiant power. The response curve “Output Voltage vs
Irradiance” is based on the photodiode area of 5.2mm2.
NOISE PERFORMANCE
Noise performance of the OPT101 is determined by the op
amp characteristics, feedback components and photodiode
capacitance. The typical performance curve “Output Noise
Voltage vs Measurement Bandwidth” shows how the noise
varies with RF and measured bandwidth (0.1Hz to the
indicated frequency), when the output voltage minus the
voltage on pin 3 is greater than approximately 50mV. Below
this level, the output stage is powered down, and the effective
bandwidth is decreased. This reduces the noise to
approximately 1/3 the nominal noise value of 300µVrms, or
100µVrms. This enables a low level signal to be resolved.
The OPT101’s voltage output is the product of the photodiode
current times the feedback resistor, (IDRF), plus a pedestal
voltage, VB, of approximately 7.5mV introduced for single
supply operation. The internal feedback resistor is laser trimmed
to 1MΩ. Using this resistor, the output voltage responsivity, RV,
is approximately 0.45V/µW at 650nm wavelength. Figure 1
shows the basic circuit connections for the OPT101 operating
with a single power supply and using the internal 1MΩ feedback
resistor for a response of 0.45V/µW at 650nm. Pin 3 is
connected to common in this configuration.
Noise can be reduced by filtering the output with a cutoff
frequency equal to the signal bandwidth. This will improve
signal-to-noise ratio. Also, output noise increases in proportion
to the square root of the feedback resistance, while responsivity
increases linearly with feedback resistance. Best signal-to-noise
ratio is achieved with large feedback resistance. This comes
with the trade-off of decreased bandwidth.
CAPACITIVE LOADING
The OPT101 is capable of driving load capacitances of 10nF
without instability. However, dynamic performance with
capacitive loads can be improved by applying a negative
bias voltage to Pin 3 (shown in Figure 2). This negative
power supply voltage allows the output to go negative in
response to the reactive effect of a capacitive load. An
internal JFET connected between pin 5 (output) and pin 3
allows the output to sink current. This current sink capability
can also be useful when driving the capacitive inputs of
some analog-to-digital converters which require the signal
The noise performance of the photodetector is sometimes
characterized by Noise Effective Power (NEP). This is the
radiant power that would produce an output signal equal to the
noise level. NEP has the units of radiant power (watts), or
Watts/√Hz to convey spectral information about the noise.
The typical performance curve “Noise Effective Power” vs
Measurement Bandwidth" illustrates the NEP for the OPT101.

OPT101

DARK ERRORS
The dark errors in the specification table include all sources.
The dominant source of dark output voltage is the “pedestal”
voltage applied to the non-inverting input of the op amp.
This voltage is introduced to provide linear operation in the
absence of light falling on the photodiode. Photodiode dark
current is approximately 2.5pA and contributes virtually no
offset error at room temperature. The bias current of the op
amp's summing junction (– input) is approximately 165pA.
The dark current will be subtracted from the amplifier's bias
current, and this residual current will flow through the
feedback resistor creating an offset. The effects of temperature
on this difference current can be seen in the typical
performance curve “(IBIAS – IDARK) vs Temperature.” The
dark output voltage can be trimmed to zero with the optional
circuit shown in Figure 3. A low impedance offset driver (op
amp) should be used to drive pin 8 (DIP) because this node
has signal-dependent currents.
This capacitor eliminates gain peaking and prevents
instability. The value of CEXT can be determined from the
table in Figure 4. Values of RF, other than shown in the table,
can be interpolated.

An external resistor, REXT, can be connected to set a different
voltage responsivity. To increase the responsivity, this resistor
can be placed in series with the internal 1MΩ (Figure 4a), or
with the DIP package, the external resistor can replace the
internal resistor by not connecting pin 4 (Figure 4b). The
second configuration also allows the circuit gain to be
reduced below 106V/A by using external resistors of less

illuminates the full area of the integrated circuit, including
the op amp. Although IC amplifiers are light-sensitive to
some degree, the OPT101 op amp circuitry is designed to
minimize this effect. Sensitive junctions are shielded with
metal, and the photodiode area is very large relative to the op
amp input circuitry.
approximately 14kHz. The R and C values are 1MΩ and
11pF respectively. By using external resistors, with less than
3pF parasitic capacitance, the frequency response can be
improved. An external 1MΩ resistor used in the configuration
shown in Figure 4b will create a 23kHz bandwidth with the
same 106V/A dc transimpedance gain. This yields a rise time
of approximately 15µs (10% to 90%). Dynamic response is
not limited by op amp slew rate. This is demonstrated by the
dynamic response oscilloscope photographs showing virtually
identical large-signal and small-signal response.
If your light source is focused to a small area, be sure that
it is properly aimed to fall on the photodiode. A narrowly
focused beam falling on only the photodiode will provide
improved settling times compared to a source that uniformly
illuminates the full area of the die. If a narrowly focused
light source were to miss the photodiode area and fall only
on the op amp circuitry, the OPT101 would not perform
properly. The large 0.09" x 0.09" (2.29mm x 2.29mm)
photodiode area allows easy positioning of narrowly focused light sources. The photodiode area is easily visible, as it
appears very dark compared to the surrounding active
circuitry.
Dynamic response will vary with feedback resistor value as
shown in the typical performance curve “Responsivity vs
Frequency.” Rise time (10% to 90%) will vary according to
the –3dB bandwidth produced by a given feedback resistor
value:
0.35
tr =
fC
where:
tr is the rise time (10% to 90%)
fC is the –3dB bandwidth
The incident angle of the light source also effects the
apparent sensitivity in uniform irradiance. For small incident
angles, the loss in sensitivity is simply due to the smaller
effective light gathering area of the photodiode (proportional
to the cosine of the angle). At a greater incident angle, light
is diffracted and scattered by the package. These effects are
shown in the typical performance curve “Responsivity vs
Incident Angle.”
LINEARITY PERFORMANCE
The photodiode is operated in the photoconductive mode so
the current output of the photodiode is very linear with
radiant power throughout a wide range. Nonlinearity remains
below approximately 0.05% up to 100µA photodiode current.
The photodiode can produce output currents of 1mA or
greater with high radiant power, but nonlinearity increases
to several percent in this region.
DYNAMIC RESPONSE
Using the internal 1MΩ resistor, the dynamic response of
the photodiode/op amp combination can be modeled as a
simple R • C circuit with a –3dB cutoff frequency of
2
This very linear performance at high radiant power assumes
that the full photodiode area is uniformly illuminated. If the
light source is focused to a small area of the photodiode,
nonlinearity will occur at lower radiant power.
