6 / 9 page epc130/epc131 Application Information Light Barrier Application The following circuit is recommended to operate the epc130/131 as a photo diode amplifier in a single beam light barrier: Recommended Components Values R1: 27k for epc130 and 4.7k for epc131 (bias resistor). Sensitivity can be reduced by the reduction of this resistor. R2: dependent on the required LED current C1: Usually not needed. May be up to 100 pF (refer to section 'Photodiode Capacitance'). C2: 33nF (DC input current filter capacitor) C3: 100nF or more (power supply filter capacitor) D1: PIN photo diode, epc3xx-family or similar devices D2: IR LED, TSML1000 (Vishay) or similar devices Working Principle The IR LED D2 emits light pulses which are sent towards the photo diode D1. If there is no obstacle between the two devices, the light pulse generates an AC current (IPD) in the reverse biased photo diode D1 into the pin PD. IPD is proportional to the power of the light pulse. The cur- rent pulse is transformed to a voltage amplified. Once a light pulse is generated by the IR LED, a next light pulse must not be generated until the recovery time tREC (max.). Design Precautions The sensitivity at pin PD is very high in order to achieve a long operation range of light barriers even without lenses in front of the IR LED and/or the photo diode. Thus, the pin PD is very sensitive to EMI. Special care should be taken to keep the PCB track at pin PD as short as possible (a few mm only!). This track should be kept away from the IR LED signal tracks and from other sources which may induce unwanted signals. It is strongly recommended to cover the chip, the pho - todiode and all passive components around the chip with a metal shield. A recommended part is shown in the follow - ing figure: The pins at the bottom are to solder the shield to the PCB with electrical connection to VDD. The hole in the front is the opening window for the photo diode. The back side of the PCB below the sensitive area (D1, C1, R1, epc13x) shall be a polygon connected to VDD to shield the circuit from the back side. C1 must be of high mechanical stability (no piezoelectric effect) in order to avoid unwanted signals by mechanical shock or vibration. Ambient Light Photodiode DC current can be generated by ambient light, e.g. sun light. DC currents at pin PD do not generate a DC output signal. Thus, the offset voltage VOF remains constant. However, if IPDDC is above the stated value, the input is saturated which blocks the detection of AC current pulses. Photodiode Capacitance If the photodiode capacitance is below the specified value, the system becomes more sensitive to power supply ripple voltage at higher fre - quencies (>200kHz). This sensitivity can be reduced by a parallel capacitor to the photodiode. However, this measure reduces the detection sensitivity. If the photo diode capacity is above the specified value, a lower detection sensitivity and a possible higher sensitivity spread re - sults. © 2011 ESPROS Photonics Corporation Characteristics subject to change without notice 6 Datasheet epc13x analog - V2.1 www.espros.ch Recommended EMC shield D2 C1 R1 epc13x PD CN OUT VN VSS VDD Type T1 R2 GND LED from digital oscillator or μC output +VLED D1 C2 C3 analog output to μC Light path |
