Light photons impinging upon a semiconductor material in the vicinity of a P-N junction release conduction carriers to produce current flow through the photodiode effect. The article goes through a real-world example using the AD8615 op amp and specifications from a typical photodiode. 1) The output of a photodiode is a function of current. Do I need some kind of amp for voltage from diode ? Strange op-amp configuration in Electrical Engineering is being discussed at Physics Forums. I would isolate external by building a stethoscope-like fraim for diode. Posted by Cakewalk on Apr 19, 2013 in Flux | 0 comments. Changes in screen light will be every 20 ms. Your configuration is close to the traditional photodiode opamp current to voltage converter circuit. As we want the output of our amplifier to be a voltage, we actually need to make a transimpedence amplifier (alias a current to voltage amplifier). This microchip comprises main circuit constituents of an array of photodiodes connecting to respective noise-optimised transimpedance amplifiers (TIAs), a selector-combiner (SC) circuit, and a postamplifier (PA). The 12V "pull-up" on the photodiode obviously works as a very slow potential "equalizer" for the op-amp input -- when light is applied on the photodiode, the voltage slowly increases and vice versa.

My question is what model of photodiode should I use?
