The ADA4350 is an analog front end for photodetectors or other
sensors whose output produces a current proportional to the
sensed parameter or voltage input applications where the system
requires the user to select between very precise gain levels to
maximize the dynamic range.
The ADA4350 integrates a FET input amplifier, a switching network,
and an ADC driver with all functions controllable via a serial
peripheral interface (SPI) or parallel control logic into a single
IC. The FET input amplifier has very low voltage noise and current
noise making it an excellent choice to work with a wide range of
photodetectors, sensors, or precision data acquisition systems.
Its switching network allows the user individual selection of up
to six different, externally configurable feedback networks; by
using external components for the feedback network, the user
can more easily match the system to their desired photodetector or
sensor capacitance. This feature also allows the use of low thermal
drift resistors, if required.
The design of the switches minimizes error sources so that they
add virtually no error in the signal path. The output driver can
be used in either single-ended or a differential mode and is
ideal for driving the input of an ADC.
APPLICATIONS
Current to voltage (I to V) conversions
Photodiode preamplifiers
Chemical analyzers
Mass spectrometry
Molecular spectroscopy
Laser/LED receivers
Data acquisition systems
The ADA4350 can operate from a single +3.3 V supply or a dual
±5 V supply, offering user flexibility when choosing the polarity of
the detector. It is available in a Pb-free, 28-lead TSSOP package and
is specified to operate over the −40°C to +85°C temperature range.
Multifunction pin names may be referenced by their relevant
function only.

Stresses at or above those listed under Absolute Maximum
Ratings may cause permanent damage to the product. This is a
stress rating only; functional operation of the product at these
or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Operation beyond
the maximum operating conditions for extended periods may
affect product reliability.
THERMAL RESISTANCE
θJA is specified for the worst case conditions, that is, θJA is
specified for a device soldered in a circuit board for surfacemount packages. Table 11 lists the θJA for the ADA4350.

V 2
 − OUT

RL

Consider rms output voltages. If RL is referenced to −VS, as in
single-supply operation, the total drive power is +VS × IOUT. If
the rms signal levels are indeterminate, consider the worst case,
when VOUT = +VS/4 for RL to midsupply for dual supplies and
VOUT = +VS/2 for single supply.
PD = (+ VS × I S ) +
(VOUT )2
RL
Airflow increases heat dissipation, effectively reducing θJA. In
addition, more metal directly in contact with the package leads
and exposed pad from metal traces, through holes, ground, and
power planes reduces θJA.
Figure 4 shows the maximum safe power dissipation in the
package vs. the ambient temperature on a JEDEC standard
4-layer board. θJA values are approximations.
TJ = 150°C
Unit
°C/W
MAXIMUM POWER DISSIPATION
The maximum safe power dissipation for the ADA4350 is limited
by the associated rise in junction temperature (TJ) on the die. At
approximately 150°C, which is the glass transition temperature,
the properties of the plastic change. Even temporarily exceeding
this temperature limit may change the stresses that the package
exerts on the die, permanently shifting the parametric performance
of the ADA4350. Exceeding a junction temperature of 175°C for
an extended period can result in changes in silicon devices,
potentially causing degradation or loss of functionality.

THEORY OF OPERATION
KELVIN SWITCHING TECHNIQUES
Traditional gain selectable amplifiers use analog switches in a
feedback loop to connect discrete external resistors and capacitors
to the inverting input by selecting the appropriate feedback
path. This approach introduces several errors due to the nonideal
nature of the analog switches in the loop. For example, the
on-resistance of the analog switch causes voltage and temperature
dependent gain errors, while the leakage current causes offset
errors, especially at high temperature. The Kelvin switching
technique solves this problem by introducing two switches in
each gain selection loop, one to connect the transimpedance/
op amp output to the feedback network, and the other to connect
the feedback network output to the downstream components.
Figure 54 shows a programmable gain transimpedance amplifier
with Kelvin switching.

VOUT
Although this technique requires using twice as many switches,
the voltage (Vx) in the center node is no longer switch dependent;
it is only dependent on the current across the selected resistor
(see Equation 1 through Equation 3).
V1 = VOUT × (RF2/(RF2 + RS1B))
(2)
V1 = −IPHOTO × RF2
(3)
where:
VOUT is the output of the first amplifier.
IPHOTO is the current from the photodiode.
RF2 is the feedback resistor of Transimpedance Path 2.
RS1B is the switch resistance of the S1B switch.
The switches shown on the right (S2A and S2B) in Figure 54
only have a small output impedance and contribute negligible
error if the amplifier drives a high impedance load. In the case
of the ADA4350, the high impedance load is the integrated
ADC driver.
12417-103
NOTES
1. S1A, S1B, S2A, AND S2B ARE THE ANALOG SWITCHES.
RFx ARE THE FEEDBACK RESISTORS SPECIFIC TO EACH
TRANSIMPEDANCE PATH. CFx ARE THE FEEDBACK CAPACITORS
SPECIFIC TO EACH TRANSIMPEDANCE PATH.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
CONFIGURING THE ADA4350
Setting more than one Px pin to Logic 1 results in connecting
the selected gain paths in parallel.
See the EVAL-ADA4350RUZ-P user guide for details on the
basic configuration of the ADA4350, and how to use the
evaluation board. For more details on configuring the ADC
driver in a different gain setting, see the ADA4941-1 data sheet.

SELECTING THE TRANSIMPEDANCE GAIN PATHS
THROUGH THE SPI INTERFACE (SERIAL MODE)
In the manual mode (or parallel mode), only five out of the six
transimpedance paths can be accessed (FB0 to FB4). Figure 55
shows the simplified schematics of the ADA4350 and the positions
of FB0 to FB4. In this example, the first two feedback paths
(FB0 and FB1) are configured as two different transimpedance
gain paths.
For serial mode operation, set the EN pin (Pin 16) to Logic 1
and the MODE pin (Pin 17) to Logic 0. In serial mode, Pin 19
is LATCH, Pin 20 is SCLK, Pin 21 is SDO, Pin 22 is SDI, and Pin 23
is CS. Serial mode operation uses a 24-bit command to configure
each individual switch, S0 through S11, as well as additional
options. Table 14 shows the 24-bit map used in serial mode
operation. Table 15 shows the example codes that select the
various transimpedance gain paths.
To operate in manual mode or in parallel mode, set the EN pin
(Pin 16) and the MODE pin (Pin 17) to Logic 1. In this mode,
Pin 19 to Pin 23 represent P0 through P4, respectively. To select
one gain, set the corresponding Px pin to Logic 1, and set all
other Px pins to Logic 0. Table 13 shows the relationship between
the gain select switches (P0 through P4) and the gain path
selected.
Multifunction pin names may be referenced by their relevant
function only.

TRANSIMPEDANCE AMPLIFIER DESIGN THEORY
Because its low input bias current minimizes the dc error at the
preamp output, the ADA4350 works well in photodiode preamp
applications. In addition, its high gain bandwidth product and
low input capacitance maximizes the signal bandwidth of the
photodiode preamp. Figure 58 shows the transimpedance
amplifier model of the ADA4350.
CF
Equating the zero frequency, fZ, with the fX frequency maximizes
the signal bandwidth with a 45° phase margin. Calculate fX as
follows because fX is the geometric mean of fP and fGBW:

By combining Equation 5, Equation 6, and Equation 7, the CF
value that produces fX is defined by

(8)
The frequency response in this case shows approximately 2 dB
peaking and 15% overshoot. Doubling CF and cutting the
bandwidth in half results in a flat frequency response with
approximately 5% transient overshoot.

The signal bandwidth is 1/(RF × CF), as determined by Equation 4.
In general, set RF such that the maximum attainable output
voltage corresponds to the maximum diode current, IPHOTO,
allowing the use of the full output swing.
fP = 1/2πRFCS
(5)
With the additional pole from the open-loop response of the
amplifier, the two-pole system results in peaking and instability
due to an insufficient phase margin (see gray lines for the noise
gain and phase in Figure 59).

The signal bandwidth attainable with this preamp is a function
of RF, the gain bandwidth product (fGBW) of the amplifier, and
the total capacitance at the amplifier summing junction, including
CS and the amplifier input capacitance of CD and CM. RF and the
total capacitance produce a pole with the loop frequency (fP).

Adding CF to the feedback loop creates a zero in the loop
transmission that compensates for the effect of the input pole,
which stabilizes the photodiode preamp design because of the
increased phase margin (see the gray lines for the noise gain and
phase in Figure 60). It also sets the signal bandwidth, fZ (see the
I to V gain line for the signal gain in Figure 60). The signal

The dominant output noise sources in the transimpedance
amplifier design are the input voltage noise of the amplifier,

Figure 61 shows the ADA4350 configured as a transimpedance
amplifier with five different gains. The photodiode sensor
capacitance, CD, varies from 91 pF to 100 nF to showcase the
transimpedance gain performance at various frequency. Figure 62
to Figure 65 shows the transimpedance vs. frequency at different
CD settings. Note that the compensation capacitors, CF0 to CF4,
correct for the inherent instability of the transimpedance
configuration. Capacitors chosen were such that the transimpedance gain response compensates for the maximum
bandwidth and is close to having a 45° phase margin.

THE EFFECT OF LOW FEEDBACK RESISTOR RFx
As the load of the transimpedance amplifier increases, excessive
peaking in the frequency response can be observed when the RFx
value is too small. This peaking can persist even when excessive
CFx overcompensates for it. Figure 66 shows the ADA4350
configured with a photodiode capacitance value of 91 pF and
a 1 kΩ transimpedance load. Figure 67 shows the normalized
frequency response of this configuration. By decreasing RF from
500 Ω to 68 Ω, the peaking in the frequency response increases
progressively. The large peaking translates to a huge overshoot
in the pulse response, which is an undesirable result.
Figure 69 shows the effect of various snubber circuits clamping
down the peaking. Without the snubber circuit, there is 6 dB of
peaking when an overcompensated CFx of 100 pF is used. With
the snubber circuits, the bandwidth is restricted to approximately
10 MHz. To compromise between the peaking and the bandwidth,
adjust the values of the snubber circuit.

USING THE T NETWORK TO IMPLEMENT LARGE
FEEDBACK RESISTOR VALUES
Large feedback resistors (>1 MΩ) can cause the two following
issues in the transimpedance amplifier design:
The T network (the RFx, R2, and R1 resistors) maintains the
transimpedance gain and signal bandwidth with a lower
feedback resistor and a resistive gain network, as shown in
Figure 70.


If the parasitic capacitance of the feedback resistor exceeds
the optimal compensation value, it can significantly reduce
the TIA signal bandwidth.
If the required compensation capacitance is too low
(<1 pF), it is not practical to choose a feedback capacitor.
12417-269

Therefore, as compared to the standard TIA design, the T network
uses a feedback resistor value that is 1/(1 + R1/R2) smaller to
obtain the same transimpedance. This eliminates the concern of
the high parasitic capacitance associated with the large feedback
resistor. To maintain the same signal bandwidth (or same pole),
increase CF by a factor of 1 + R2/R1 to eliminate concerns of an
impractical small compensation capacitor.
