DS3920
Fast Current Mirror
General Description
The DS3920 precision current mirror is designed for avalanche photodiode (APD) and PIN photodiode biasing
and monitoring applications. The device offers a current
clamp to limit current through the APD and a current mirror output that produces a signal proportional (5:1) to the
APD current. A diode is also provided to limit the voltage
at the current mirror output.
Features
S Wide Voltage Input Range: 2.97V to 76V
S Current Monitor
 Wide 250nA to 2mA Range
 5:1 Mirror Ratio
 Fast 50ns Time Constant
S Current Clamp (2.9mA or 20mA, typ)
The device accepts a +2.97V to +76V current mirror
supply voltage. Internal current limiting (2.9mA or 20mA,
typ) protects the monitored device from a short circuit to
ground. The provided internal clamp diode protects the
current mirror output from overvoltage. Additionally, the
device features thermal shutdown if the die temperature
reaches +150NC.
S Voltage Clamp Protects Subsequent Output Circuitry
The device is available in a 6-pin SOT23 package, and
operates over the -40NC to +85NC extended temperature
range.

DS3920
Fast Current Mirror
Detailed Description
The DS3920 provides a fast, precision current mirror for
photodiode-monitoring applications. The current mirror
is accurate across a large dynamic range. The mirror
response time is fast enough to comply with GPON Rx
burst-mode monitoring requirements. The device has a
built-in current limiting feature to protect photodiodes
from large signal inputs, and an included thermal shutdown. A diode is provided to limit the voltage at the MIR
output.
Current Mirror
The mirror output is typically connected to an analogto-digital converter (ADC) using a resistor to convert the
mirrored current into a voltage. The resistor to ground
should be selected so that the ADC’s full-scale voltage is
reached when the maximum mirrored current is reached.
For example, given that the maximum monitored current
through the APD is 2mA, 1.25V ADC full scale, and a 5:1
mirror ratio, the correct resistor is approximately 3.2kI.
Current Clamp
The device features a current clamping circuit to protect
the photodiode by limiting the amount of current from
MIROUT to no more than IMIROUT. See the Ordering
Information for available current clamp options.
Diode Protection
A diode is internally connected from the MIR to DIODE
pins. This enables an external voltage applied to DIODE
to limit the voltage on MIR. The voltage applied to DIODE
should be equal to the desired VMIR limit minus the diode
forward voltage drop, or VMIR - VDF.
Thermal Shutdown
As a safety feature, the device has a thermal shutdown
circuit that turns off the MIROUT and MIR currents when
the internal die temperature exceeds TSHDN. The thermal
shutdown mechanism has a built-in hysteresis of THYST.
Thus, the MIROUT and MIR currents resume once the
device has cooled to TSHDN - THYST.
The mirror response time is dominated by the amount of
capacitance placed on the output.
