OP299 Overview
The OP294 and OP299 are gallium arsenide infrared emitting diodes designed for low current or power limited applications (such as battery supplies). These LEDs are similar in design to the OP290 and OP295 but use a smaller chip which increases output efficiency at low current levels by increasing current density. Light output can be maximized with continuous (d.c.) forward current up to 100mA or with pulsed forward...
OP299 Key Features
- Characterized at 5mA for battery
- Wide irradiance pattern (OP294) or narrow irradiance pattern (OP299)
- Significantly higher power output than GaAs at equivalent drive currents
- Wavelength matched to silicon’ s peak response
- T-1 3/4 package
