MAX3760 Evaluation Kit
General Description
The MAX3760 evaluation kit (EV kit) simplifies evalua-
tion of the MAX3760 transimpedance preamplifier. The
MAX3760 is optimized for hybrid applications that
place the preamplifier die in the same package with a
photodetector. The EV kit uses a packaged version of
the MAX3760 to simplify product evaluation. It allows
both optical and electrical testing.
The MAX3760’s input voltage is determined by internal
circuitry. When the input is connected to a photodiode,
the MAX3760’s input voltage determines the reverse
diode voltage. Electrical signal sources connected to
the input must be AC coupled. AC coupling the input
removes the signal’s DC component. Many of the
MAX3760’s specifications are affected by the average
DC input current, which is normally present when the
input signal is derived from a photodiode. A current
mirror and simple bias-tee are used to create a signal
similar to that of a photodiode.
The MAX3760 EV kit has several mounting holes for
inserting common photodiodes, allowing optical testing.
