BPV11 Phototransistor pinouts and sample circuit

Former Member

I am using a BPV11 photo-transistor to sense ambient light.

 

I cannot find a data sheet with pinouts or a sample circuit. I have used other photo diodes and LDRs before.

 

Thanks,

    Ah, glad to see someone older than me still playing in this stuff.  I come

    from the "grid bias and filament transformer" era (I'm 64) and still

    remember when "integrated" was the brief era of the compactron tubes.  The

    advantage to this new fangled stuff is 5 volts (or 3.3v) doesn't bite

    anything like the old 300v plate voltages !!  People just laugh when they

    see my microprocessor controlled heater for the hummingbird feeders (so

    they don't freeze when we get the cold snap here in the Seattle area).
