Photodiode Amplifiers Jerald Graeme

In our search for the right components, we found a super small integrated circuit that has an on-board photodiode and op amp circuit combined. OEIC give a better performance than discrete solutions because there are no bonding pads, no bond wires and no package pin parasitics between photodiode and amplifier input [1]. I'm working on an AC-Coupled photodiode amplifier, but am encountering a problem with noise. You can connect a standalone photodiode to the input of a standalone transistor. This microchip comprises main circuit constituents of an array of photodiodes connecting to respective noise-optimised transimpedance amplifiers (TIAs), a selector-combiner (SC) circuit, and a postamplifier (PA). (ACTIVE) Dual, 3MHz, Low-Power, Low-Noise, RRI/O, 1.8V CMOS Operational Amplifier. Current schematic is included, however the photodiode is in fact an Edmund Optics UV-enhanced response silicon detector part # NT57-509 and the quiescient current selector of the ICL7611 is set to ground (quiescient current 100 uA). EMCORE's 2522 packaged photodiode incorporates a high-speed planar PIN photodiode to provide a highly reliable, high-power photodiode component.

This package is well suited for receiver applications with optical preamplification. Circuit simulations have indicated significant bandwidth and noise improvements compared with basic photodiode amplifiers. A photodiode amplified by a built-in transistor is called a phototransistor. The photodiode receives IR light, modulated by sound (20-20kHz BW). In my posting of 18th of November, I showed an example of an op-amp used as a photo diode amplifier and with a trimmer across the feedback resistor.
