Part Number: S2-0171
Description: 2L10_SU65_SPC01
The SiTek 2L10_SU65_SPC01 is a 2L10 PSD with an attached signal processing circuit. The PSD currents are output as bipolar voltages representing the position and intensity of the centroid of a light spot on the PSD. The intensity signal can be used for external normalisation of the position (difference) signal in regard to light intensity dependence.
Inputs are available for external adjustment of offset voltages.
In order to obtain maximum precision, high reliability and small size the SPC01 is built using thick film technology and laser trimmed resistors on a 20,5 x 20,5 mm2 ceramic substrate. The SPC01 is delivered with surface mount leads.
Test conditions: Room temperature 23 șC, Power supply voltage ± 15 V, Light source wavelength 940 nm. Position non-linearity are valid within 80 % of the detector length.
Package: 16 pin ceramic substrate, 20,5 x 20,5 mm2, with protective window.

Application Information
Inputs 2, 6, 7 and 14 are used for external offset compensating voltages. Such a voltage can, as shown in the figure, be derived from a voltage divider and connected to the SPC input through a suitable series resistor.
