MAX40213, input DC current rejection

Category: Hardware
Product Number: MAX40213

Hello!

I'd like to use MAX40213 in my photodiode amplifier design. I will definitely need some kind of ambient light rejection added to it.

So my question concerns the I_offset pin of the chip. Can I use it for cancelling the DC part of the input current? The datasheet is not entirely clear for me on this topic. It only mentions output offset correction which is useless to me if the input saturates.

If my input signal is -100uA DC with -1uA AC pulses on top of that, will I be able to avoid saturation (and current clamping) if I inject -100uA in to I_offset ? 

Thanks in advance for any clarification about this!

Best,

Olexandr
