Data Sheet
DESIGN PROCEDURES
Determining Capacitor Values
C_FILT can be selected using the formula:
Low frequency –3 dB cutoff = 1 / [2π*400kΩ*(10pF + C_FILT)]
APPLICATION INFORMATION
Filtering Through RBYPASS
To reduce the effect of supply voltage noise at the cathode of the photodiode, the cathode connection to V_CC
should be made through the RBYPASS resistor. The RBYPASS resistor and an external capacitor to ground at the
cathode of the photodiode will act as a filter to reduce this noise and dampen any resonance at the cathode of the
photodiode.
Wire Bonding and Layout Information
For best performance all GND pads should be connected and the bond wire inductance between the photodiode
and the IIN pin should be kept to below 1.5 nH – 2 nH. The back of the die is not metallized and should be con-
nected to ground or left electrically unconnected.
The outputs OUTP and OUTN should be terminated equally to prevent instabilities. Figures 4 and 5 show the differ-
ential and single-ended terminations.
