TSMP6000TR Sensors, Transducers

Optical Sensors are devices that measure light characteristics, such as intensity, wavelength, and spectral distribution. These sensors are then used to detect and monitor a variety of different industrial processes. The TSMP6000TR is a type of optical sensor that is used to detect and monitor remote light sources, and it is categorized as a Photo Detector – Remote Receiver.

The TSMP6000TR is a high-performance receiver used for noise-immune signal transmission over free space. This sensor is designed for receiving electromagnetic radiation in the visible spectrum. Its response bandwidth is between 400 to 900 nm, making it ideal for applications in indoor, outdoor, and avionic light communication systems. The TSMP6000TR contains a pin-photodiode, a high-speed transimpedance amplifier, and a low-noise dielectric filter.

In terms of applications, the TSMP6000TR is used in television remote control systems, optical data signaling, and pedestrian crossings. It is also used in high-reliability applications, such as automotive safety systems. The sensor is exceptionally sensitive and can accurately detect extremely low levels of optical intensity. It also features a wide dynamic range of over 30 dB and a high level of immunity to optical noise.

The TSMP6000TR includes a built-in photodiode which serves as the receiver’s light-sensitive element. The photodiode is made from a semiconductor, such as germanium or silicon. It is designed to convert incident light into an electric current. When light is incident upon the photodiode, it generates a current within it proportional to the strength of the incident light. The current is then detected by the transimpedance amplifier, which converts the current into a voltage signal. This voltage signal is then passed through the low-noise dielectric filter, which removes any unwanted noise from the signal.

The TSMP6000TR is a highly sensitive and reliable optical sensor for detecting remote light sources. It can be used in a variety of applications, including television remote control systems and automotive safety systems. Its built-in photodiode is designed to convert incident light into an electric current, which is then detected by a transimpedance amplifier. The low-noise dielectric filter then removes any unwanted noise from the signal. The TSMP6000TR is an excellent choice for noise-immune signal transmission over free space.
