  • FC connector available.
Applications:
  • Electronic Current Transducer (ECT).
  • Electromagnetic Field Measurement.
  • RF over Fiber & 5G.
  • Remote Electronics and Sensors.
  • High Power IGBT/MOSFET Driver Circuitry.
  • Applications requiring voltage isolation, noise immunity, or spark-free operation.
Product Description:

The YCH-L200 is a low power photovoltaic power converter (PPC) from MH GoPower, designed for applications requiring power up to approximately 0.6 watts. It operates most efficiently with wavelengths between 915nm and 980nm and fiber with an NA of 0.22 to 0.27. Device efficiencies greater than 23% can be achieved with appropriate heat sinking. It is suitable for powering remote and embedded sensors, current sensors, and optical network components, especially in high voltage or high noise environments.

Availability:

FC models are in stock.

Electrical Characteristics:
  • Optical Power: 1,000 mW
  • Pmax: 209.9 mW
  • Vmax: 6.6 V
  • Imax: 31.8 mA
  • Efficiency: 21.0%
  • Tested with 975 nm wavelength laser at ambient temperature of ~25°C.
Passive Heatsinking Option:

Custom heatsinking can enhance power output and performance. With a 42 x 25 x 25 mm aluminum heatsink, an efficiency of ~20% with 3W input is achieved. Performance metrics include:

  • Optical Power: 1,000 mW to 3,000 mW
  • Pmax: 230.0 mW to 595.1 mW

Photovoltaic Power Converter-1

MIH® Photovoltaic Power Converter High efficiency Si-based MIH® VMJ PV cells Optimized for 915nm through 980nm laser sources Low cost, high reliability laser diode wavelengths Efficiency at 1W input: ~21% Up to 7 volts output FC connector available Electronic Current Transducer (ECT) Electromagnetic Field Measurement RF over Fiber & 5G Remote Electronics and Sensors High Power IGBT/MOSFET Driver Circuitry Applications require voltage isolation, noise immunity or spark-free operation Product Description MH GoPower (MHGP) offers the photovoltaic power converter (PPC) product line capable of delivering a wide range of power and voltage outputs. Power output levels range from tens of milliwatts to over 10 watts (higher power available upon request), while output voltage levels are possible from 4 volts to over 30 volts. MHGP’s PPC product line operates most efficiently with wavelengths in the range of 915nm to 980nm, and with fiber with an NA of 0.22 to 0.27. The YCH-L200 is MHGP’s low power PPC offering for applications requiring power up to ~0.6 watt. Device efficiencies of greater than 23% are achievable with appropriate heat sinking. Target applications include powering remote and embedded sensors, current sensors, optical network components, as well as other applications requiring voltage isolation between the power source, and embedded electronics in high voltage or high noise environments.
