S-5420
ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT SENSOR,
UV-A to UV-B SENSING Si PHOTODIODE www.ablic.com Rev.1.1_00 © ABLIC Inc., 2018 The S-5420 is a photodiode (PD) made of silicon that can detect ultraviolet light at high sensitivity. The output current
changes in reaction to light which includes ultraviolet light. Therefore, the S-5420 can detect light intensity of various light
sources for LEDs and other devices. Since the S-5420 can detect ultraviolet light intensity, it is particularly well suited for
use in various light measurement devices which irradiate ultraviolet light.
The S-5420 is composed of two types of ultraviolet photodiodes, a high-sensitivity and a low-sensitivity photodiodes. Using
an external circuit, the S-5420 takes the difference of output between the high-sensitivity and low-sensitivity photodiodes,
which cuts out visible light components. It results in ultraviolet components detection.
Incorporating a surface-mounting type, small, transparent package, the S-5420 allows for high-density mounting.
