DESCRIPTION Feature

MITSUBISHI PHOTO DIODES

PD8XX2 SERIES

PD8XX2 Series are InGaAs avalanche photodiodes
which has a sensitive area of φ50µm.
PD8XX2 is suitable for receiving the light having
a wavelength band of 1000 to 1600nm.
This photodiode features high-speed response and
a high responsivity, and is suitable for the
light receiving elements for optical fiber
communication systems.

QUALITY ASSURANCE

A range of the quality assurance is restricted as the product exposes the bare die to the external atmosphere, different

from the conventional sealed package products.
Regarding the quality assurance, please confirm to Mitsubishi Semiconductor Quality Assurance Section.

PRECAUTIONS

Some characteristics of this product may change depending on the user’s assembling condition. The system should
be carefully designed so that problems do not occur.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS RELATING TO HANDOLING OF OPTICAL SEMICONDUCTOR
DEVICE

General:
Although the manufacturer is always striving to improve the reliability of its products, problems and errors may occur
with semiconductor products. Hence, it is required so that the user’s products are designed with full regard to safety
by incorporating the redundancy, fire prevention, error prevention so that any problems or error with a semiconductor
product does not cause any accidents resulting in injury or death, fire, or environmental damage. The following
requirements must be strictly observed.

Warning!

1. Handling of the product

This product uses GaAs (gallium arsenate). In normal conditions this product is not toxic. However, if it is powdered
or vaporized, its powder or vapor is dangerous to humans. Never attempt to crush, grind, bake or chemically treat
this product. Do not put this product into your mouth or swallow it.

2. Discarding the product

This product uses GaAs (gallium arsenate). It should be discarded as a specially controlled industrial waste, it should
be separated from general industrial and household wastes, according to the “Law of Wastes and Cleaning”.

Caution!

1. High temperature

During operation the product may become hot. Therefore do not touch it directly during operation. The product
will remain hot even after the power is turned off, so wait until it cools before you touch it. Otherwise burns may be
caused. Never place any inflammable substance which may cause a fire near the product.

There is a possibility that the specification is changed without notice.
