High Speed Infrared Emitting Diode in Side View
Package
Description
TSSF4500 is a high speed infrared emitting diode in
GaAlAs on GaAlAs double hetero (DH) technology,
molded in a clear, untinted plastic package with spherical side view lens.
The new technology combines the high speed of DH–
GaAlAs with the efficiency of standard GaAlAs and the
low forward voltage of the standard GaAs technology .
Features
D
High modulation bandwidth (10 MHz)
D
Extra high radiant power and high radiant intensity
D
Low forward voltage
D
Suitable for high pulse current operation
D
Angle of half intensity ϕ = ± 22
D
Peak wavelength
D
High reliability
D
Good spectral matching to Si photodetectors
lp = 870 nm
°
94 8688
Applications
Infrared high speed remote control and free air data transmission systems with high modulation frequencies or
high data transmission rate requirements.
TSSF4500 is ideal for the design of transmission systems according to IrDA requirements and for carrier frequency based systems (e.g. ASK / FSK – coded, 450 kHz or 1.3 MHz).

Ozone Depleting Substances Policy Statement
It is the policy of Vishay Semiconductor GmbH to
1. Meet all present and future national and international statutory requirements.
2. Regularly and continuously improve the performance of our products, processes, distribution and operating
systems with respect to their impact on the health and safety of our employees and the public, as well as their
impact on the environment.
It is particular concern to control or eliminate releases of those substances into the atmosphere which are known as
ozone depleting substances (ODSs).
The Montreal Protocol (1987) and its London Amendments (1990) intend to severely restrict the use of ODSs and
forbid their use within the next ten years. V arious national and international initiatives are pressing for an earlier ban
on these substances.
Vishay Semiconductor GmbH has been able to use its policy of continuous improvements to eliminate the use of
ODSs listed in the following documents.
1. Annex A, B and list of transitional substances of the Montreal Protocol and the London Amendments respectively
2. Class I and II ozone depleting substances in the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 by the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) in the USA
3. Council Decision 88/540/EEC and 91/690/EEC Annex A, B and C (transitional substances) respectively.
Vishay Semiconductor GmbH can certify that our semiconductors are not manufactured with ozone depleting
substances and do not contain such substances.
We reserve the right to make changes to improve technical design and may do so without further notice.
Parameters can vary in different applications. All operating parameters must be validated for each customer application
by the customer. Should the buyer use Vishay-Telefunken products for any unintended or unauthorized application, the
buyer shall indemnify Vishay-Telefunken against all claims, costs, damages, and expenses, arising out of, directly or
indirectly , any claim of personal damage, injury or death associated with such unintended or unauthorized use.
