PRODUCTION DATA
Photodiodes are used in many applications to convert light signals to electrical signals. The current through the photodiode is proportional to the photon energy absorbed, and is commonly in the range of a few hundred picoamps to a few tens of microamps. An amplifier in a transimpedance configuration is typically used to convert the low-level photodiode current to a voltage signal for processing in an MCU. The circuit shown in Figure 8-3 is an example of a single-supply photodiode amplifier circuit using the LMV358A-Q1.
