Application example: High-speed O/E converter module
A high-sensitivity O/E converter can be easily configured by
using C4890 in conjunction with a high-speed PIN photodiode
(S5973, etc). The following is an example when C4890 is used
with S5973 to amplify the output signal after receiving an
attenuator. Major performance items are shown below.
Effective bandwidth: 5 MHz to 1.5 GHz
The lower limit is determined by the amplifier (C4890)
and the upper limit by the photodiode.
Conversion sensitivity (V/W) = 0.5 A/W
