Signal processing circuit designed to facilitate operation of 2-D Position Sensitive Detector
Features
l
No complicated adjustment required
Position measurement can be made simply by mounting
2-D PSD.
l
Output voltage directly representing the position data
The position (mm) of a light spot from the PSD center is
obtained as an output voltage (V).
l
Accurate position detection
Accurate position data can be obtained, independent of
light intensity.
l
Compact on-board configuration
A head amplifiers, signal addition/subtraction circuits, and
analog divider are mounted on a compact PC board.
Applications
l
Displacement measurements using 2-D PSD
l
Various studies using 2-D PSD

DC signal processing circuit
●
Suitable for DC light displacement measurement.
AC signal processing circuit
●
Designed specifically for pulse (AC) signal detection.
Has a synchronous circuit, S/H (sample & hold) circuit and LED driver circuit.
Use of a pulse-driven LED ensures reliable operation even under background light.

Output type-----
*3: Duty ratio: 3/100, pulse width: 90 µs, LED: Hamamatsu L1915-01 (sold separately)
*4: These resistors are lead types and inserted into sockets, so it can be easily to exchange by the user if necessary in a range
between 1 × 10

to 1 × 106 Ω. For more details, see the instruction manual that comes with the product.
*5: The circuit does not operate correctly when input signal level is not appropriate.
*6: Maximum output amplitude can be adjusted in a range of ±2 to ±10 V according to PSD type to be used.
*7: Measured without PSD and with LED turned off, while using a current source of 20 µA (X1=X2=Y1=Y2) substituting for PSD
photocurrent. In the case of C7563, however, pulse current with a duty ratio of 3/100 and a pulse width of 90 µs is supplied.
*8: Repetition frequency 333 Hz (duty ratio: 3/100, pulse width: 90 µs) cannot be modulated.

*9: The position (mm) of light spot from the center is twice the output voltage (V) for the S1881.
If the incident light spot is not sufficiently focused on the PSD, i.e., the light spot diameter is large, and falls upon near the edge
of the active area, part of the light spot may go outside the active area, thus degrading position accuracy.
The output voltage amplitude values listed above are measured when the light spot diameter is made as small as possible within
the range in which adequate intensity is maintained.
