VTT9812FH Application Field and Working Principle

The VTT9812FH Phototransistor is an optical sensor used to detect and measure light input. The phototransistor helps to improve safety and reliability in applications that require detection of obstructions, such as automotive safety, industrial robotics, and consumer electronics. It is also used in non-destructive inspection applications.

The VTT9812FH operates in two modes: a totally visible light detection mode and a select IR wavelength detection mode. In the visible light detection mode, the phototransistor detects incident light from a 235nm to 680nm wavelength range and provides an output signal varying in proportion to the amount of light detected.

The VTT9812FH is composed of three main parts: the base, the collector, and the emitter. The base is the “gate” of the phototransistor and behaves like an insulated grid in an insulated gate field effect transistor (IGFET). The collector and emitter are just like terminals of a bipolar transistor. Light incident onto the sensitive area of the base induces a voltage at the collector-emitter junction, which causes an output signal.

In the select IR wavelength detection mode, specialized optical filters with narrow passbands embedded in the phototransistor limit the incident wavelength range to only the desired narrow wavelength region. This reduces the amount of false triggers for systems requiring very specific detection capabilities.

Applications of the VTT9812FH Phototransistor

The VTT9812FH is a versatile phototransistor that has wide ranging applications. Its use includes automatic door/window safety detection systems, land vehicle/aircraft obstacle detection systems, industrial automation systems, portable medical instruments, camera systems, consumer electronics, cybersecurity, as well as non-destructive testing.

In automatic door/window safety systems, the VTT9812FH is used to detect the presence of obstructions like people and objects in the immediate vicinity of the device and to trigger the opening or closing of the door, or other automated response. In vehicles and aircraft, these sensors can be used to detect a nearby obstacle to maintain a safe distance. In industrial automation and robotics, the VTT9812FH is used to detect the position of objects in order to move them precisely in accordance with the programmed instructions.

Portable medical instruments that make use of the VTT9812FH could include body-worn monitoring devices and blood glucose meters that need optical detection in order to perform measurements. Camera systems use the phototransistor for focusing and exposure functions. In consumer electronics, the device is used for games, hand gesture recognition, and other features that require the detection of the position or movement of an object.

Cybersecurity applications for the VTT9812FH include biometric authentication and face recognition. Non-destructive test equipment uses the phototransistor’s IR measurement capabilities to detect discontinuities and flaws in solid materials, allowing for preventive maintenance and defect detection with minimum damage to the inspected objects.

Conclusion

The VTT9812FH Phototransistor is a versatile and reliable device with a wide range of applications. Its two operational modes, wide detection range, and precision allow it to safely detect nearby obstructions, position objects accurately, and measure various spectra to be used in consumer electronics and biomedical devices. The VTT9812FH is an effective and affordable solution to a variety of applications.
