This applications note presents some basic facts about phototransistors including its different architectures commonly used in the industry. It discusses its operation and how things work inside these ...

The common-emitter amplifier circuit generates an output which transitions from a high state to a low state when light in the near-infrared range is detected by the phototransistor. The wavelength ...

A single phototransistor mimics retinal bipolar cell function while detecting visible and infrared light, enabling low-power image processing through programmable ON and OFF photoresponses. (Nanowerk ...

You’ve seen CMOS logic, you’ve seen diode-resistor logic, you’ve seen logic based on relays, and some of you who can actually read have heard about rod logic. [Julian] has just invented optoisolator ...
