THEORY OF OPERATION

The ADA4355 integrates a field effect transistor (FET), input

TIA with three switchable gains (2 kΩ, 20 kΩ, and 200 kΩ).

The gain switches are designed to minimize error sources that

result in slow settling time and slow overload recovery. The

internal overload current protection allows the input current to

exceed the full-scale current while still providing fast overload

recovery. Additionally, the overload current protection enables

analog input current levels up to 40 mA to be sustained with no

damage to the TIA. The positive node of the TIA is biased to

1.65 V as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 77 shows the overall system transfer function. Because the

photodetector provides current in only one direction (sink or

source), the overall transfer function has 0.825 V offset to

maximize the input range of the ADC. When the input current

is 0 µA, the ADC differential input is 0.825 V. As the input

current increases, the TIA output decreases toward GND.

When the input current reaches 1.65 V/TZ, the TIA output is at

GND, limiting the ADC differential input voltage to −0.825 V.

The positive full-scale input current is 1.65 V/TZ, and there is

room to measure negative input current down to −0.175 V/TZ.
