===== Overview ===== | ===== Overview ===== | ||
- | [[http:// | + | [[adi>CN0272|CN-0272]] is a high-speed photodiode signal conditioning circuit with dark current compensation. The system converts current from a high-speed silicon PIN photodiode and drives the inputs of a 20 MSPS ADC. This combination of parts offers spectral sensitivity from 400 nm to 1050 nm with 49 nA of photocurrent sensitivity, |
Other suitable applications for this circuit would be as an analog opto-isolator. It can also be adapted to applications that require larger bandwidth and less resolution such as adaptive speed control systems. | Other suitable applications for this circuit would be as an analog opto-isolator.
