Automatically adapting forward or reversed biased photodiode detection circuit |
摘要 |
A photodiode detection circuit is used to automatically identify a type of photodiode circuit connected to it. The photodiode circuit comprises at least a photodiode. Once the type of photodiode circuit has been identified by applying a current to it and evaluating a voltage occuring at an input of the detection circuit the photodetection circuit adapts itself to it, e.g. a reverse biasing voltage is/isn't applied to the photodiode of the photodiode circuit. The result is a photodiode detection circuit which uses a forward or a reversed biased photodiode. The photodiode detection circuit is now in a state to measure light falling on the photodiode. The detection circuit may be part of a light intensity monitoring and controlling circuit which allows to regulate the intensity of a laser beam in an optical disk reading/recording device.
