He epc134/epc135/epc136/epc137/epc138/epc139 Photo-receiver Amplifier General Description Features The epc13x family products are monolithic, integrated high sensitive photo-diode amplifiers for light-barrier, light-curtain, and the like applications. It amplifies current pulses from reverse-biased PIN photodiodes (e.g. BP104 by OSRAM) and discriminates the amplified input light pulse before driving the open-drain output stage. The device is controlled by an internal digital controller, which uses no external clock signal. The power supply of the device can be connected in anti-polar mode to decrease the wiring effort in matrix operated light-curtain products. The device has been optimized to utilize the least count of external components. This device allows the design of short to long range light barriers from a few millimeters up to tens of meters.

After the time t DEL, the photo diode bias circuit is enabled. Thus, a current generated by light on the photo diode flows into the pin PD. After the time tINIT, the device is ready to receive AC light pulses. VDD VPOR Startup Period Ready tINIT Out false pulses may occur Power-up sequence Power-down Sequence When VDD goes down, the device is turned off when V DD is below VPOR minus VIPOR. VDD VPOR - VIPOR PD bias tOFF Power-down sequence Light Pulse Reception A light pulse on the photo diode generates a current puls into the pin PD of the device. If the current pulse exceeds the threshold I PD, an output pulse is generated. The length of the output pulse is given by t Out. After a waiting time given by tREC, the next light pulse can be sent. If the waiting time is too short, the device is not ready to receive the next pulse. Thus, no output pulse is appears at pin OUT.

Sensitivity can be reduced by the reduction of this resistor. R2: dependent on the required LED current C1: Usually not needed. May be up to 100 pF (refer to section 'Photodiode Capacitance'). C2: 33nF (DC input current filter capacitor) C3: 100nF or greater (power supply filter capacitor) D1: PIN photo diode, BP104 (OSRAM) or similar devices D2: IR LED, TSML1000 (Vishay) or similar devices Working Principle The IR LED D2 emits light pulses which are sent towards the photo diode D1. If there is no obstacle between the two devices, the light pulse generates an AC current (I PD) in the reverse biased photo diode D1 into the pin PD. I PD is proportional to the power of the light pulse. If I PD is greater than the trigger threshold of the circuitry in the device, a pulse at the pin OUT is generated. If I PD is greater than the trigger threshold for the light reserve (IPDres), a second pulse at the output is generated. The length of the output pulse is given by t OUT. Once a light pulse is generated by the IR LED, a next light pulse must not be generated until the recovery time t REC (max.). Design Precautions The sensitivity at pin PD is very high in order to achieve a long operation range of light barriers even without lenses in front of the IR LED and/or the photo diode. Thus, the pin PD is very sensitive to EMI. Special care should be taken to keep the PCB track at pin PD as short as possible (a few mm only!). This track should be kept away from the IR LED signal tracks and from other sources which may induce unwanted signals. It is strongly recommended to cover the chip, the photodiode and all passive components around the chip with a metal shield. A recommended part is shown in the following figure: The pins at the bottom are to solder the shield to the PCB with electrical connection to VDD. The hole in the front is the opening window for the photo diode. The back side of the PCB below the sensitive area (D1, C1, R1, epc13x) shall be a polygon connected to VDD to shield the circuit from the back side. C1 must be of high mechanical stability (no piezoelectric effect) in order to avoid unwanted signals by mechanical shock or vibration. Recommended EMC shield Ambient Light Photodiode DC current can be generated by ambient light, e.g. sun light. DC currents at pin PD do not generate an output signal. However, if IPDDC is above the stated value, the input is saturated which blocks the detection of AC current pulses. Photodiode Capacitance If the photodiode capacitance is below the specified value, the system becomes more sensitive to power supply ripple voltage at higher fre quencies (>200kHz). This sensitivity can be reduced by a parallel capacitor to the photodiode. However, this measure reduces the detection sensitivity. If the photo diode capacity is above the specified value, a lower detection sensitivity and a higher sensitivity spread results. © 2011 ESPROS Photonics Corporation Characteristics subject to change without notice 8 Datasheet epc13x digital - V2.1 www.espros.ch This document is confidential and protected by law and international trades.
