Optical Sensors - Phototransistors offer the sensitivity and responses to a range of light wave lengths that no other detectors can match. Many of these components are based on the SMD2440-001 phototransistor, a miniature device that can be used in a variety of applications. In this article, we will take a look at the application field and working principle of the SMD2440-001 phototransistor.

How does a phototransistor work?

A phototransistor is basically a PN junction, with the N region being very thin and lightly doped. In a PN junction, when light falls on it, free electrons are released from the P-type material, and are attracted to the N-type material, creating a flow of current. This current is known as the photocurrent, and is used to measure light intensity.
