GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADL5317 is a high voltage, wide dynamic range, biasing and current monitoring device optimized for use with avalanche photodiodes. When used with a stable high voltage supply (up to 80 V), the bias voltage at the VAPD pin can be varied from 6 V to 75 V using the 3 V-compatible VSET pin. The current sourced from the VAPD pin over a range of 5 nA to 5 mA is accurately mirrored with an attenuation of 5 and sourced from the IPDM monitor output. In a typical application, the monitor output drives a current input logarithmic amplifier to produce an output representing the optical power incident upon the photodiode. The photodiode anode can be connected to a high speed transimpedance amplifier for the extraction of the data stream. A signal of 0.2 V to 2.5 V with respect to ground applied at the VSET pin is amplified by a fixed gain of 30 to produce the 6 V to 75 V bias at Pin VAPD. The accuracy of the bias control interface of the ADL5317 allows for straightforward calibration, thereby maintaining a constant avalanche multiplication factor of the photodiode over temperature. The current monitor output, IPDM, maintains its high linearity vs. photodiode current over the full range of APD bias voltage. The current ratio of 5:1 remains constant as VSET and VPHV are varied. The ADL5317 also offers a supply tracking mode compatible with adjustable high voltage supplies. The VAPD pin accurately follows 2.0 V below the VPHV supply pin when VSET is tied to a voltage from 3.0 V to 5.5 V (or higher with a current limiting resistor), and the VCLH pin is open. Protection from excessive input current at VAPD as well as excessive die temperature is provided. The voltage at VAPD falls rapidly from its setpoint when the input current exceeds 18 mA nominally. A die temperature in excess of 140°C will cause the bias controller and monitor to shut down until the temperature falls below 120°C. Either overstress condition will trigger a logic low at the FALT pin, an open collector output loaded by an external pull-up to an appropriate logic supply (1 mA max). The ADL5317 is available in a 16-lead LFCSP package and is specified for operation from −40°C to +85°C.

Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
ESD CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.
