Question

The photo diode in the figure below has an active sensing area of 10 mm2, a sensitivity of 0.5 A/W and a dark current of 1 μA. The i-to-v converter has a sensitivity of 100 mV/μA. For an input light intensity of 4 W/m2, the output V0 in volt is _______


  1. 2.1

Open in App
Solution

The correct option is A 2.1
Output current through photo diode (V0)
=Intensity×Sensitivity×Area
V0=4Wm2×0.5AW×10×106 m2
=20 μA
Total current flow through photo diode
=IP+ID (Dark current)
Output voltage i to v converter
V0=(20+1)μA×100 mVμA
=100 mV=2.1 V
