Linear Technology’s Glen Brisebois, winner of an EDN Innovation award for best contributed article, noticed my JFET blog post and was nice enough to send along a note and some circuits he likes for ...

Building a photodetector that works across a range of applications does not have to be complicated. In this post, we will break down a universal design concept that is flexible, practical, and ready ...

How transimpedance amplifiers are used in fiber-optic communications, laser rangefinders, and LiDAR systems. How avalanche photodiodes enhance TIA performance. Application-specific design and topology ...

Silicon-based photodiodes are widely used due to their low cost, low noise, and compatibility with standard IC technologies. However, silicon has a bandgap of 1.12 eV—equivalent to a wavelength of ...
