Vishay VCNT2025X01 Reflective Optical Sensor is a reflective sensor in a miniature SMD package. It has a compact construction where the emitting light source and the detector are arranged in the same plane. The operating infrared wavelength is 940nm. The detector consists of a silicon...

Solid-state relays introduction from Vishay, (PDF) MOSFET SSRs feature an optocoupler construction, but have a pair of MOSFETs on the output instead of a phototransistor. A pair of source-coupled MOSFETs emulate an electromechanical relay by providing bidirectional switch capability...

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have revealed a unique phototransistor that is flexible and faster and more responsive than any similar phototransistor. The innovative phototransistor could improve the performance of myriad products -- ranging from digital...

The Minibot is a small autonomous robot vehicle that uses phototransistor that can detect lightness patterns on the ground to follow the edges of the dark lines. It has a MC9RS08KB4 MCU, coin cell, motor, and a phototransistor. The MC9RS08KB4 is part of the MC9RS08KB12 series, a...

SteveQuinn @ instructables.com show us how to create a heart rate monitor using an IR phototransistor and Arduino and display the data on a TFT screen. This Instructable documents how to create a simple heart rate monitor using Photoplethysmography with an IR phototransistor via...
