The News:
Vishay Intertechnology broadens its optoelectronics portfolio with the introduction of six new
automotive-grade, high-speed silicon PIN photodiodes that feature excellent photoresponse linearity
for small signal detection. Available in three low-profile, surface-mount packages, devices in the
Vishay Semiconductors VEMDxx60X01 family offer fast response times, sensitive areas of 0.23 mm 2,
0.85 mm2, and 7.5 mm2, and high reverse light current to 38 µA for automotive and industrial
applications.
 Deliver linearity down to the lowest signal levels without disruptions from ambient light noise
 The linearity deviation of the reverse light current is less than 1 %, comparing the relative
difference of the photocurrent generated by a small infrared signal (1 mW/cm 2) with and without
the presence of large background illumination (100 mW/cm 2)

For the detection of visible and near infrared radiation, the VEMD1060X01, VEMD5060X01, and
VEMD6060X01 are clear devices with a wide sensitivity range of 380 nm to 1070 nm
For 700 nm to 1070 nm infrared applications, the VEMD1160X01, VEMD5160X01, and
VEMD6160X01 are black devices featuring a daylight blocking filter
