Quickstart
Supply +VCC pin with a voltage between 5.5 V and 12 V. Supply -VCC pin with a voltage between -12 V and -5.5 V. The board is regulated to ±5 V internally. Using more than ±6 V supplies increases power consumption without any significant improvement in supply noise rejection.
Supply the photodetector with a maximum 2 mW optical power. The linear output voltage range of the transimpedance amplifier is between -3.5 V and 3.5 V. The corresponding optical power depends on the transimpedance gain and the coupling (AC or DC) of your PD100.
The output is available on the SMA connector (50 Ω impedance).
Photodiode mounting
The detector is designed for TO Can photodiodes.
