Osram Opto Semiconductors (Sunnyvale,CA) offers what they claim is the world"s first surface-mount technology (SMT) package for large-area photodiodechips. Suitable for use in rain sensors, the new SFH 2200 A01 and SFH 2200 FAA01 are mounted behind the vehicle"s windshield. When a raindrop falls on thewindshield, the diodes detect a change in the incidence of light. This changeis then translated by the system to control the windshield wipers and the rateat which they operate. According to Osram, the photodiode chips comply with thestrict demands of the automotive industry and are approved to operate attemperatures up to 125 C (257 F). The photodiodes also meet the requirements for AEC-Q101-C qualification.
