General Description
SHARPs IS1640 is OPIC light detector for pick-up of DVD-ROM/DVD player which is expected as next generation media. It is also applicable to 2X speed DVD-ROM/DVD player. It has sensitivity switching terminal which enables to read both 1-layer disc and 2-layer disc.

FEATUREs
(1) OPIC light detector for RF signal detection (Integrates 6-division PIN photodiode and Amp. IC onto a single chip)
(2) High speed response (Response frequency : MIN.20MHz)
(3) High sensitivity (Sensitivity : TYP.40.5mV/µW at 650nm)
(4) With sensitivity switching terminal which enables to read both 1-layer/2-layer disc
(5) Compact and thin package (Package dimensions : 5.0 x 4.0 x 1.5mm)
(6) Possible to supply custom-made detecting patterns
(7) Pair use with SHARPs laser diode is recommended. Laser diode : 650nm (self pulsation) LT055 series 650nm LT056 series

APPLICATION
(1) DVD-ROMs
(2) DVD players
