PHOTONIC POWER

Key Features

• Up to 140 mA at 3.5 V

• Up to 500 mW electrical power

• Up to 4 volts output

• Optimized for 810 nm source

• Complete electrical isolation

The PPC-4E is a photovoltaic power converter optimized for maximum efficiency

in the range of 790 – 850 nm illumination. Source optical energy is delivered via

multimode fiber, compatible with installed short haul communication systems.

Reliable and low cost laser diodes are readily available as sources.

Total electrical isolation, and compatibility of operation in high electrical field or

noisy electrical environments are key capabilities of the PPC-4E. Remote power

for sensors, transducers and data communications equipment are typical applications.

Designed to convert 790 – 850 nm light into electrical power up to 4 volts, with

output power from a few mW to 0.5 W, the PPC-4E is available with ST or FC

connectors. Pigtail packages including ceramic (CMPT) pigtail are available.
