Apparatus and method for sampling a phototransistor

Sampling of a phototransistor in an optical encoding system is controlled by "turning on" the phototransistor, after light has already charged the base of the phototransistor at least somewhat, by applying a potential difference across the collector and emitter of the phototransistor, prod...

Zusammenfassung:Sampling of a phototransistor in an optical encoding system is controlled by "turning on" the phototransistor, after light has already charged the base of the phototransistor at least somewhat, by applying a potential difference across the collector and emitter of the phototransistor, producing an essentially instantaneous emitter response, which is then sampled.
