LTC6244 High Speed Peak Detector

Hassan Kelley - Field Applications Engineer
Gabino Alonso - Strategic Marketing Engineer Aug 1st 2016
Introduction Peak detectors capture the extrema of the voltage signal at its input. A positive peak detector captures the most positive point of the input signal and a negative peak detector captures the most negative point of the input signal. Ideally the output of the peak detector circuit tracks or follows the input voltage ...

LTC6244 Low Noise AC Difference Amplifier

Aug 22nd 2006
Piezoelectric and LVDT (Linear Variable Differential Transformer) sensors provide differential ac output signals. In addition to a standard difference amplifier a secend amplifier can be used as a dc servo amplifier to force an output dc bias potential in single supply applications. This difference amplifier is dc coupled ...

Large Area Photodiode Bootstrapping

Aug 22nd 2006
Large area photodiodes come with a large capacitance, typically on the order of 3000pF or larger. This capacitance to ground at the input of a transimpedance amplifier has a significant effect on the output noise of the circuit as the noise gain increases dramatically at higher frequencies. The addition of a low noise JFET ...

Wide Bandwidth Photodiode Amplifier

Aug 22nd 2006
Wide bandwidth performance from a small photodiode requires minimizing the total input capacitance. In this circuit the amplifier's differential input capacitance is bootstrapped by the feedback with R1 and R2. Choosing the amplifier input that is at the corner of the package for the dual LTC6244 also minimizes pin-to-pin capacitance. ...

Very Low Noise Large Area Photodiode Amplifier

Aug 22nd 2006
Large area photodiodes come with a large capacitance, typically on the order of 3000pF or larger. This capacitance to ground at the input of a transimpedance amplifier has a significant effect on the output noise of the circuit as the noise gain increases dramatically at higher frequencies. AC coupling a bootstrap JFET across ...

Small Area Photodiode in Normal TIA Configuration

Aug 22nd 2006
Small area photodiodes have low capacitance. To maintain low noise operation it is important to keep the input capacitance low so that the miniscule input noise current of the CMOS amplifier, and not the voltage noise, dominates the overall circuit noise. The total input capacitance from the amplifier in this circuit is the ...

Low Noise Fully Differential Buffer/Amplifier

Aug 22nd 2006
Useful in RFID baseband signal processing is a differential amplifier with an input impedance set to match the differential output impedance of a RF demodulator. The differential input impedance is 2*Rin and the gain is Rg/Rin. Capacitors Cf and Cin can be used to set the bandwidth of the amplifier. For DC biasing the common ...
