Light to Voltage (LTV) solutions combine a photodiode and transimpedance amplifier in a single IC. The LTV family provides a linear analog voltage output that is proportional to light intensity which can be connected directly to an ADC for digital processing, a comparator for thresholding or other analog circuitry for filtering or further processing.
The devices cover a wide range of speed and responsivity options across different spectral responses, to span a variety of applications to measure ambient light, light absorption or reflection, and as an infrared data receiver in light controls, printers, light curtains or remote controllers.
