BPW34 Description

The BPW34 is a tiny, general-purpose PiN photodiode with high speed and high radiant sensitivity.  It is commonly used in control and driver circuits. Aviliable in miniature, flat, top view, clear plastic package. 

 

Because of it's short switching time (20nS), it can be used in isolated data communication circuits and other remote communications like TV sets, dimmers and other equipment.   

 

Like all photo diode, the BPW34 is normally operated in series with a resistor and the current flowing though it depends on the amount of light falling on it. The intensity of light is measured in luminance. It is sensitive to visible and near infrared radiation. 

 

This photodiode has a ton of uses, one of which is to use it is a mini solar cell to power your project. The cell is sensitive to a wide range of light wavelengths (430-1100nm), so it should produce power in a number of different settings. The rated open-circuit voltage is 350mV (900nm, 1mW/cm2 light source), and short circuit current is 47μA.
