Photologic® V OPB9000 Reflective Optical Sensor

TT Electronics' reflective optical sensor provides robust reliability and versatility

TT Electronics' Photologic V OPB9000 reflective optical sensor for industrial and medical applications provides dependable edge and presence detection of reflective media under a wide range of ambient light conditions. The OPB9000, under the OPTEK brand, is suitable for a variety of applications including industrial printing, dispensing, manufacturing automation, safety and security devices, and portable lab/medical equipment.

The OPB9000 is a reflective, CMOS logic output sensor with programmable sensitivity, output polarity, and drain select. Unparalleled 25+ kilolux ambient light immunity along with a wide operating temperature range sets the OPB9000 apart from the competition. The self-calibration feature avoids the need for constant recalibration as the LED ages, saving valuable time and effort. Temperature compensation and automatic gain control features enable it to reliably function in the most demanding and dynamic environmental conditions where consistent performance from sensor devices is critical. The industry leading response time of 6 µs ensures high-speed detection for time-critical applications.

Designs using standard analog circuits can be extremely complex, with additional external components which add space and cost. The OPB9000 is designed to eliminate circuit complexity and reduces board space requirements by up to 80% with its fully integrated analog front end and digital interface. It combines an infrared emitter and integrated logic sensor in a miniature 4.0 mm x 2.2 mm x 1.5 mm surface-mount package.
