The MOUT sources a current equal to I APD and both the current is from BIAS. The BIAS current is larger than the sum of I MOUT and I APD as BIAS current needs to drive the internal circuit of MAX15059A…
The maximum voltage of the MAX15059 can reach 76V since the device operates in discontinuous conduction mode ( DCM ). In DCM , the relationship between the input voltage and the output voltage is not specified…
Answer: Since having CNTRL below 1.3V causes the voltage at CNTRL to become the reference for feedback regulation, a change in this voltage while regulating should affect the output in a manner very similar…
The cathode of the Avalanche Photodiode should be connected to APD pin of MAX15059 instead of the output. The output of MAX15059 should be connected to pin BIAS directly or through a low-pass filter. The…
Description:
The MAX15059 lists a “resistor-adjustable ultra-fast APD current limit” in the feature set. Does this device actively limit the current delivered to the APD or does this limit just affect…
