IC Amps Designed for Photo Sensors
Submitted by nestorb on Fri, 2006-07-07 07:59. The MTI04CS/CQ now offers the ability to adapt the compensation of the transimpedance amplifier to the input capacitance of the sensors, such as photodiodes. This is done digitally in two stages, 5 and 80pF. Programming of the transimpedance gain is carried out via three input pins to any of eight levels; and takes effect for all channels simultaneously
