Note 4: 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 2 2 Amps/mm /Watts/mm , 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. -6 If energy in = 1 µW, then the current from the APD = (0.4 A/W) x (1 x 10 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 AD500-8-1.3G-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 AD500-8-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. 10/3/2013 Fig. 1: APD GAIN vs BIAS VOLTAGE Fig. 2: APD SPECTRAL RESPONSE (M = 1) 1000 RESPONSIVITY (A/W) 0.7 GAIN 100 10 1 130 135 140 145 150 155 160 165 0.6 0.5 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.1 0 170 400 500 600 APPLIED VOLTAGE (V) 800 900 1000 1100 Fig.4 : APD CAPACITANCE vs VOLTAGE 460 35 440 JUNCTION CAPACITANCE (pF) DIFFERENTIAL OUTPUT AMPLITUDE (mV p-p) Fig. 3 : DIFFERENTIAL OUTPUT vs TEMPERATURE 420 400 380 360 340 320 300 -40 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 -20 20 40 60 0 AMBIENT TEMPERATURE (°C) 80 0 100 10 20 30 40 50 60 APPLIED BIAS VOLTAGE (V) Fig. 5: AMPLIFIER TRANSFER FUNCTION Fig. 6: TOTAL FREQUENCY RESPONSE 200 75 150 70 100 TRANSIMPEDANCE (db) DIFFERENTIAL OUTPUT VOLTAGE (mV p-p) 700 WAVELENGTH (nm) 50 0 -50 -100 60 55 -150 -200 -100 65 -75 -50 -25 0 25 50 INPUT CURRENT (µA) 75 100 50 1M 10M 100M FREQUENCY (Hz) 1G 10G USA: International sales: First Sensor, Inc. 5700 Corsa Avenue, #105 Westlake Village, CA 91362 USA T + 818 706-3400 F + 818 889-7053 [email protected] www.first-sensor.com 10/3/2013 First Sensor AG Peter-Behrens-Str. 15 12459 Berlin, Germany T + 49 30 6399 2399 F + 49 30 639923-752 [email protected] www.first-sensor.com
