MODULE APD module C5460 series APD module integrated with peripheral circuits Features Applications l Uses high sensitivity APD l Evaluation of APD Two types of APDs with different active areas (φ1.5 mm, l Fluorescence measurement φ3.0 mm) are provided. l Bar code readers l On-board high sensitivity circuit optimized for APD evaluation l Particle counters An APD and a low-noise current-to-voltage amplifier circuit l Film scanners are mounted on a compact PC board. The current-to-voltage amplifier circuit features a low-noise configuration allowing low-light-level detection. l Detects optical signals from fixed light (DC light) C5460 detects optical signals from fixed light (DC light) to 10 MHz pulsed light making it well suited for bar code readers and film scanners. C5460-01 covers a narrower bandwidth from fixed light (DC light) to 100 kHz pulsed light, but provides an excellent NEP of 20 fW/Hz1/2 in the room temperature, making it suitable for fluorescence measurement and particle counters where low-light-level detection is essential. l Built-in temperature-compensated bias power supply The bias power supply is controlled with a thermosensor to keep the APD gain constant. Gain variations are typically held within ±2.5 % at an ambient temperature of 25 ±10 ˚C. Ripple noise usually inherent to high-voltage power supplies is also minimized. l Compact and lightweight The board is no larger than a typical business card. l Low price l Custom models with different dimensions and specifications are available ■ Selection guide Parameter Active area Photo sensitivity Frequency bandwidth C5460 φ1.5 1.5 × 106 DC to 10 M ■ Block diagram HIGH VOLTAGE GENERATOR +200 V +12 V VOLTAGE CONTROLLER C5460-01 φ3.0 -1.5 × 108 DC to 100 k Unit mm V/W Hz ±12 V BNC CONNECTOR TEMPERATURE MONITOR LOW-NOISE CURRENT-TO-VOLTAGE AMPLIFIER CIRCUIT APD THERMOSENSOR KACCC0028EA 1 APD module C5460 series ■ General ratings Parameter Power supply Symbol Condition +12 V -12 V +12 V -12 V Vs Current dissipation - Board dimensions Weight - Min. +11.4 -11.4 - C5460 Typ.
