Si photodioe with preamp
S8745-01, S8746-01
Output noise voltage and NEP (noise equivalent power) characteristics allow you to check whether the device can detect the low-
level light you want to measure. Since NEP is given by the equation (1) as shown at the right, NEP at wavelengths other than
λp can
be easily calculated from Figure 1 and Figures 4.
Note) When S8745-01 and S8746-01 are used only with the internal current-to-voltage gain, it is recommended that the "-IN" lead (pin 6 for S8745-
01; pin 9 for S8746-01) be cut off to a short length in order to reduce the influence of external noise as much as possible.
