The highside current source output construction avoids a ground referenced signal and permits the subsequent electronics to adjust the gain. In its simplest form this is done by load resistors, for instance. The spectral sensitivity range includes visible to near infrared light, with the maximum sensitivity being close to a wavelength of 700 nm. Output currents of up to 50 µA are supplied under low light conditions, for instance when illuminated at only 3 µW/mm2 by an 850 nm LED. The photocurrent gain is 46 dB typically.
