APD module
Operates an APD with single 5 V supply
C5331 series
l Choice of high sensitivity APDs
A total of 11 types are available, including 6 types of 800 nm band APDs with
active areas from
0.2 to 5 mm, 3 types of short-wavelength APDs with active
areas from
1 to 5 mm, and FC connector types.
l High sensitivity detection board optimized for APD evaluation
An APD and high-speed current-to-voltage amplifier circuit are mounted on a
compact board. The high-speed current-to-voltage amplifier circuit features a
low-noise configuration ideal for the APD signal readout and operates at high
speeds yet with high sensitivity.
l Easy handling
Single 5 V supply operation
l Built-in temperature-compensated bias voltage circuit
Controls the bias voltage with a thermosensor to keep the APD gain constant.
Gain is stabilized to as low as 2.5 % Typ. at ambient temperatures of 25 10 C.
Ripple noise usually inherent to high voltage power supplies is also minimized.
l Compact and lightweight
The circuit board is no larger than business card size, and weighs only 52 g.
l Low price
l Custom devices available with different dimensions and specifications
