Input currents as high as 2.2 mA can be amplified with low duty cycle distortion. The low input noise allows signals down to 4 µA (peak to peak) to be detected with a signal to noise ratio of 22 dB (allows for BER< 1E-10). The outputs are voltage limited to 1000 mV, differential, in order to allow a wide input dynamic range without exceeding the input voltage range of the post ( l i m i t i n g ) a m p l i f i e r.

The amplifier circuitry consists of a transimpedance stage and an output driver stage with a 6 dB gain. The transimpedance amplifier converts the photodiode photocurrent to a voltage. The photodiode can be biased by connecting it to the RBYPASS pin or it can be connected directly to VCC. The amplifier gain is linear for an input of up to 300 µA. Above that the transimpedance of the input stage is reduced by the action of the schottky diode, to prevent overdrive of the output stage. The output of the output stage begins to fully limit when the input current reaches 700 µA. The output voltage is limited at 1000 mV, differential, peak to peak. The output of the transimpedance stage is converted to a differential signal by the combination of the output stage and a bias block. This bias block averages the output of the transimpedance stage and establishes the DC input reference for the output stage. The bandwidth of this circuit is set by an on-chip capacitor, but can be reduced by adding an off-chip capacitor, CFILT. This bandwidth corresponds to the low frequency -3 dB cutoff of the TIA. Increasing the value of C FILT will reduce the low frequency -3 dB cutoff. With no CFILT capacitor added it will be at 45 kHz. Figure 2.

The RBYPASS resistor and an external capacitor to ground at the cathode of the photodiode will act as a filter to reduce this noise and dampen any resonance at the cathode of the photodiode. Wire Bonding and Layout Information For best performance all GND pads should be connected and the bond wire inductance between the photodiode and the IIN pin should be kept to below 1.5 nH – 2 nH. The back of the die is not metallized and should be connected to ground or left electrically unconnected. The outputs OUTP and OUTN should be terminated equally to prevent instabilities. Figures 4 and 5 show the differential and single-ended terminations.
