  2. Photoresistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoresistor

    A photoresistor can be used in light-sensitive detector circuits and light-activated and dark-activated switching circuits acting as a semiconductor resistance. In the dark, a photoresistor can have a resistance as high as several megaohms (MΩ), while in the light, it can have a resistance as low as a few hundred ohms.

  3. Opto-isolator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opto-isolator

    Schematic diagram of an opto-isolator showing source of light (LED) on the left, dielectric barrier in the center, and sensor (phototransistor) on the right [note 1]. An opto-isolator (also called an optocoupler, photocoupler, or optical isolator) is an electronic component that transfers electrical signals between two isolated circuits by using light. [1]

  4. Photodetector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photodetector

    Such an electron is collected by a suitable external readout integrated circuits (ROIC) and transformed into an electric signal. LEDs which are reverse-biased to act as photodiodes. See LEDs as photodiode light sensors. Photoresistors or Light Dependent Resistors (LDR) which change resistance according to light intensity. Normally the ...

    A datasheet for an electronic component is a technical document that provides detailed information about the component's specifications, characteristics, and ...

  6. Reference designator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_designator

    A reference designator unambiguously identifies the location of a component within an electrical schematic or on a printed circuit board.The reference designator usually consists of one or two letters followed by a number, e.g. C3, D1, R4, U15.

  7. Circuit diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_diagram

    A circuit diagram (or: wiring diagram, electrical diagram, elementary diagram, electronic schematic) is a graphical representation of an electrical circuit. A pictorial circuit diagram uses simple images of components, while a schematic diagram shows the components and interconnections of the circuit using standardized symbolic representations.

  8. Readout integrated circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Readout_integrated_circuit

    A digital readout integrated circuit (DROIC) is a class of ROIC that uses on-chip analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) to digitize the accumulated photocurrent in each pixel of the imaging array. DROICs are easier to integrate into a system compared to ROICs as the package size and complexity are reduced, they are less sensitive to noise and have ...
