Note 3: Input referred noise is calculated as RMS output noise/ (gain at f = 10 Mhz). Noise density is (input referred noise)/√bandwidth.
TRANSFER CHARACTERISTICS
The circuit used is an avalanche photodiode directly coupled to a high speed data handling transimpedance amplifier. The output of the APD (light generated
current) is applied to the input of the amplifier. The amplifier output is in the form of a differential voltage pulsed signal.
The APD responsivity curve is provided in Fig. 2. The term Amps/Watt involves the area of the APD and can be expressed as Amps/mm
2
/Watts/mm
2
, where
the numerator applies to the current generated divided by the area of the detector, the denominator refers to the power of the radiant energy present per
unit area. As an example assume a radiant input of 1 microwatt at 850 nm. The APD’s corresponding responsivity is 0.4 A/W.
If energy in = 1 µW, then the current from the APD = (0.4 A/W) x (1 x 10
-6
W) = 0.4 µA. We can then factor in the typical gain of the APD
of 100, making the input current to the amplifier 40 µA. From Fig. 5 we can see the amplifier output will be approximately 75 mV p-p.
APPLICATION NOTES
The AD230-8-2G-MINI is a high speed optical data receiver. It incorporates an internal transimpedance amplifier with an avalanche photodiode. This device
does not operate in DC mode or below 30 kHz.
This detector requires +3.0 V to +5.5 V voltage supply for the amplifier and a high voltage supply (100-240 V) for the APD. The internal APD follows the gain
curve published for the AD230-8-TO52-S1 avalanche photodiode. The transimpedance amplifier provides differential output signals in the range of 200
millivolts differential. The APD gain is voltage and temperature dependent. Some form of temperature compensation bias voltage control may be required.
In order to achieve highest gain, the avalanche photodiode needs a positive bias voltage (Fig. 1). However, a current limiting resistor must be placed in series
with the photodiode bias voltage to limit the current into the transimpedance amplifier. Failure to limit this current may result in permanent failure of the
device. The suggested initial value for this limiting resistor is 390 KOhm.
When using this receiver, good high frequency placement and routing techniques should be followed in order to achieve maximum frequency response. This
includes the use of bypass capacitors, short leads and careful attention to impedance matching. The large gain bandwidth values of this device also demand
that good shielding practices be used to avoid parasitic oscillations and reduce output noise.
