为大面积和小面积光电二极管设计的低噪声放大器
光电二极管可分为二类:一类为大面积光电二极管,具有高电容(30pF至3000pF);另一类是小面积光电二极管,具有相对小的电容(小于10pF)。为提高信噪比,具有反相运算放大器和反馈电阻的跨阻放大器常用于将光电二极管的电流转换为电压。在低噪声放大器设计中,大面积光电二极管放大器需要关注减小运算放大器的输入电压噪声,而小面积光电二极管放大器则更多地关注于减少运算放大器的输入电流噪声和寄生电容。advertisementLowNoiseAmpliersforSmallandLargeAreaPhotodiodesDesignNote399GlenBriseboisIntroductionPhotodiodescanbebrokenintotwocategories:largeerconsistsofCDM(theamplier’sdifferentialmodeareaphotodiodeswiththeirattendanthighcapacitancecapacitance)andoneCCM(thecommonmodecapacitance(30pFto3000pF)andsmallerareaphotodiodeswithattheamplier’s-inputonly),orabout6pFtotal.Therelativelylowcapacitance(10pForless).Foroptimalsmallphotodiodehas1.8pF,sotheinputcapacitanceofsignal-to-noiseperformance,atransimpedanceampliertheamplieris
