GENERAL DESCRIPTION The ADL5315 is a wide input current range, precision high-side current mirror featuring a stable and user-adjustable input voltage. It is optimized for use with PIN photodiodes, but its flexibility and wide operating range make it suitable for a broad array of additional applications. Over the 3 nA to 3 mA range, the current sourced from the INPT pin is accurately mirrored with a 1:1 ratio and sourced from the IOUT output pin. In a typical photodiode application, the output drives a current- input logarithmic amplifier to produce a linear-in-dB output representing the optical power incident upon the photodiode. For linear voltage output, a single resistor to ground is all that is required. The photodiode anode can be connected to a high speed transimpedance amplifier for the extraction of the data stream. The voltage at the INPT pin is temperature stable with respect to the voltage at the VSET input pin, which it tracks. A temperature stable reference voltage is provided at the SREF pin, which, when tied to VSET, fixes the voltage at INPT 1.0 V below VPOS. VSET can also be driven from an external source. The VSET input has very low input current and can be driven as low as the bottom rail, facilitating nonloading voltage-to- current conversion as well as minimizing dark current in photodiode applications. The ADL5315 also features adjustable input current limiting using an external resistor from RLIM to VPOS. The maximum current sourced by INPT (and IOUT) can be set between 1 mA and 16 mA, beyond which the voltage at INPT falls rapidly from its setpoint. Connecting RLIM directly to VPOS provides basic input short-circuit protection with the default current limit of 16 mA typical. The ADL5315 is available in a 2 mm × 3 mm, 8-lead LFCSP and is specified for operation from −40°C to +85°C.

Rev. A | Page 10 of 17 The VSET control is intended primarily to provide a dc bias voltage for the mirror input, but it is also well behaved in the presence of the VSET transients. The rise time of VINPT is largely independent of input current because the mirror is capable of sourcing large currents to pull up the INPT pin. The fall time, however, is inversely proportional to IINPT because only IINPT is available to discharge the input compensation capacitor and other parasitics (see Figure 11). The mirror output current can vary significantly from zero to several milliamps until V INPT is fully settled. NOISE PERFORMANCE The noise performance for the ADL5315, defined as the rms noise current as a fraction of the output dc current, generally improves with increasing signal current. This partially results from the relationship between the quiescent collector current and the shot noise in the bipolar transistors. At lower signal current levels, the noise contribution from the JFET amplifier and other voltage noise sources appearing at INPT contribute significantly to the current noise. Filtering noise at VSET, whether provided by SREF or generated externally, as well as selecting optimal external compensation components on INPT, minimizes the amount of current noise at IOUT generated by the voltage noise at INPT. MIRROR RESPONSE TIME The response time of IOUT to changes in IINPT is fundamentally a function of input current, with small-signal bandwidth increasing roughly in proportion to IINPT (see Figure 10). The value of the external compensating capacitor on INPT strongly affects the I OUT response time (as well as the VSET to VINPT fall time, as noted in the Bias Control Interface section), although the value must be chosen to maintain stability and prevent noise peaking. INPUT CURRENT LIMITING The ADL5315 provides a resistor-programmable input current limit with a fixed maximum of 16 mA for the RLIM pin tied to VPOS. The fixed maximum provides input short-circuit protection to ground. The current limit is defined as the current that forces V INPT to 0 V (when using a current source on the INPT pin). Resistor RLIM between the VPOS and RLIM pins controls the current limit according to kΩ3 V 48 LIM LIM RI over an RLIM range of 0 to 45 kΩ, corresponding to 16 mA down to 1 mA. Larger values of RLIM can be used for currents below 1 mA (down to approximately 250 µA) with some degradation in accuracy. See Figure 14 for more performance detail.
