The AGC gives a wide dynamic range of 32 dB. The high transimpedance gain of 9.0 kΩ ensures good sensitivity. For optimum system performance, the M02015 die should be mounted with a GaAs or InGaAs PIN photodetector inside a lensed TO-Can or other optical sub-assembly. The M02015 can either bias the PIN diode from the internal regulator or use an externally biased PIN diode. A replica of the average photodiode current is available at the MON pad for photo-alignment and Receive Power monitoring (SFF-8472 compliant). Figure 3-1.

The feedback creates a virtual ground low impedance at the input and virtually all of the input current passes through the feedback resistor defining the voltage at the output. Advanced CMOS design techniques are employed to maintain the stability of this stage across all input conditions. An on-chip low dropout linear regulator has been incorporated into the design to give excellent noise rejection up to several MHz. Higher frequency power supply noise is removed by the external 470 pF decoupling capacitor connected to PINK. The circuit is designed for PIN photodiodes in the “grounded cathode” configuration, with the anode connected to the input of the TIA and the cathode connected to AC ground, such as the provided PINK terminal. Reverse DC bias is applied to reduce the photodiode capacitance. Avalanche photodiodes can be connected externally to a higher voltage. 3.2.2 AGC The M02015 has been designed to operate over the input range of +6 dBm to -26 dBm. This represents a ratio of 1:1500 whereas the acceptable dynamic range of the output is only 1:30 which implies a compression of 50:1 in the transimpedance. The design uses a MOS transistor operating in the triode region as a “voltage controlled resistor” to achieve the transimpedance variation. Another feature of the AGC is that it only operates on signals greater than –17 dBm (@0.9 A/W). This knee in the gain response is important when setting “signal detect” functions in the following post amplifier. It also aids in active photodiode alignment. The AGC pad allows the AGC to be disabled during photodiode alignment by grounding the pad through a low impedance. The AGC control voltage can be monitored during normal operation at this pad by a high impedance (>10 MΩ) circuit. 3.2.3 Output Stage The signal from the TIA enters a phase splitter followed by a DC-shift stage and a pair of voltage follower outputs. These are designed to drive a differential (100Ω) load. They are stable for driving capacitive loads such as interstage filters. Each output has its own GND pad; all four GND pads on the chip should be connected for proper operation. Since the M02015 exhibits rapid roll-off (3 pole), simple external filtering is sufficient. 3.2.4 Monitor O/P High impedance output sources a replica average photodiode current for monitoring purposes. This output is compatible with the DDMI Receive Power Specification (SFP-8472) and MACOM’s range of DDMI controllers. Ensure that the voltage on VMON is in the range of 0 to 2V.

This can be remedied by raising up the TIA die with a conductive metal shim. This will effectively reduce the bond wire length. Refer to Figure 4-4 above for details. MACOM recommends ball bonding with a 1 mil (25.4 µm) gold wire. For performance reasons the PINA pad is smaller than the others and also has less via material connected to it. It therefore requires more care in setting of the bonding parameters. For the same reason PINA has no ESD protection. In addition, please refer to the MACOM Product Bulletin (document number 0201X-PBD-002). Care must be taken when selecting chip capacitors, since they must have good low ESR characteristics up to 1.0 GHz. It is also important that the termination materials of the capacitor be compatible with the attach method used. For example, Tin/Lead (Pb/Sn) solder finish capacitors are incompatible with silver-filled epoxies. Palladium/Silver (Pd/Ag) terminations are compatible with silver filled epoxies. Solder can be used only if the substrate thick-film inks are compatible with Pb/Sn solders. 4.5.2 Recommended Assembly Procedures For ESD protection the following steps are recommended for TO-Can assembly: a. Ensure good humidity control in the environment (to help minimize ESD). b. Consider using additional ionization of the air (also helps minimize ESD). c. As a minimum, it is best to ensure that the body of the TO-can header or the ground lead of the header is grounded through the wire-bonding fixture for the following steps. The best solution also ensures that the VCC lead of the TO-Can is also grounded. When this is done and the procedure below is followed, any positive charge on the wire bonder when bonding to PINA (the very last bond placed) will have the PD acting as an ESD diode into PinK of the device. Internally, PinK has an ESD diode between it and VCC that will turn on if VCC is at ground minimizing the ESD event at PINA. d. The wire bonder (including the spool, clamp, etc.) must also be grounded. 1. Wire-bond the ground pad(s) of the die first. 2. Then wire bond the VCC pad to the TO-Can lead. 3. Then wire bond any other pads going to the TO-Can leads (such as DOUT, DOUT and possibly MON). 4. Next wire-bond any capacitors inside the TO-Can. 5. Inside the TO-Can, wire bond PINK. 6. The final step is to wire bond PINA. 25 M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc.

This works well if some basic cautions are observed. When turned off, the input to the TIA exhibits the following I/V characteristic: Figure 4-5.

Figure 4-6. TIA Use with Externally Biased Detectors, Powered On PINA biased 1000 800 600 400 µA 200 0 -300 -200 -100 0 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 -200 -400 -600 -800 -1000 mV It can be seen that any negative voltage below 200 mV is nulled and that any positive going voltage above the PINA standing voltage is nulled by the DC servo. The DC servo upper bandwidth varies from part to part, but is generally at least 30 kHz. When externally biasing a detector such as an APD where the supply voltage of the APD exceeds that for PINA Table 1-1, care should be taken to power up the TIA first and to keep the TIA powered up until after the power supply voltage of the APD is removed. Failure to do this with the TIA unpowered may result in damage to the input FET gate at PINA. In some cases the damage may be very subtle, in that nearly normal operation may be experienced with the damage causing slight reductions in bandwidth and corresponding reductions in input sensitivity. 27 M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc.

It is only necessary to bond one VCC pad and one GND pad. However, bonding one of each pad (if available) on each side of the die is encouraged for improved performance in noisy environments. 2. Each location is an acceptable bonding location. 28 M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc.
