Design Requirements

For this application, the design requirements are as follows:

  • VS+ = 5V, VS– = –5V, VCM = GND, REFA = GND
  • IREF (1µA) connected to I2
  • Input current range: 10nA ≤ I1 ≤ 100µA
  • Photodiode: GP8195-12
    • VR = 5V
    • 20pA dark current (typical)
    • 1pF typical capacitance (1.5pF maximum)
    • Spectral response range from λ = 0.9μm to λ = 1.7μm

For bench testing of the system, the following configuration is used:

  • Laser diode: LPS-1310-FC
    • λ = 1.31μm
    • Threshold current 5mA to 20mA
    • Current control mode used
  • Laser controller: THOR CLD1010
  • Variable attenuator: VOA50-FC-SM 50dB in-line
  • External modulation: Agilent 33500 30MHz waveform generator
