If you want to read something, take a look at this :

Photodiode amplifiers : op amp solutions / Jerald G. Graeme. - New York [u.a.] : McGraw Hill, 1996

I have the book and it is really great, complete with almost all the information you can get about transimpedance amplifiers. Do you need any specific help ?

photodiode amplifiers: op amp solutions

I've heard about the book. But the problem is that it will take at least a month for me to get the book from Mcgraw-Hill since I'm living in Japan.
I'm trying to develop an optical sensor in which changes of optical intensity will be detected by the photo diode. Since the photodiode current is very small I need to design a current to voltage converter and an amplifier for that purpose. I know how to do that (the circuits) but I need to know the parameters and other details about designing a good photodiode amplifier.

Look this TI app note: https://www.ti.com/sc/docs/psheets/abstract/apps/sboa061.htm

define "small" concerning the input current range : nA, pA ...
what SNR do you like to get ?

oh and 3db-frequency would be useful to get an overview of your needs ...

Another very nice paper on the subject. Take a look at it and please tell us more about your problem. Are you sensing reflections or direct light ?? Do you need to reject ambient light ? Is the light source modulated ? At wich frequency ?

Please be more specific and we might be able to help you more..

Best regards,
Alexg

ampli photodiode

Here's the problem. I need to construct three photodiode amplifiers that will amplify the refrected (not reflected) lights from three LEDs driven at 500, 1000, 2000 Hz. I don't need to reject the ambient lights cause the PD will be encased in a dark casing. The current is in uA (micro amps)range. The upper and lower 3dB frequencies should be as close to the center frequency as possible.

photodiode amplifiers: op-amp solutions

That should be pretty easy to do. Take a look at the ap note, breadboard it and ask us if things do not go as you want. The application note should have all that you need.

Check out http://www.taosinc.com they have some integrated photodiode/amp sensors that I have used successfully in some designs.

HI ,
PLEASE UPLOAD PHOTODIODE

THANK YOU

how is that book downloadable from rapidhshare ?

thanks

check this book it will help you i guess

photodiode/amplifire

I also need help in designing a photodiode amplifier as I am a beginner. The photodiode amplifier must have a broad dynamic range.

I am really lost on how to proceed. I dont know what gain the amplifier should have.

Please help.

Thanks in advance.

Check following website under Articles, you will find a nice article that explains the optical circuits

does any have hints for the pcb design of photodiode ampifier ?

does any have hints for the pcb design of photodiode ampifier ?

Suppose, we arbitrarily divide the photodiode amps into two categories: (1) those with dominant requirements for bandwidth and (2) those with dominant requirements for low noise. Which one are you building?
