They call this a TIA but it's really an opamp. Fast, low noise, at least above 10KHz.


Probably best for capacitive sources like photodiodes—GBW of 11 GHz and

2750 V/us is pretty lopsided!

They suggest using it with APDs.

But it may be vaporware. TI has been doing that lately, announcing parts you can't get with a disclaimer that maybe you never will.

I was going to use a cool IC dc/dc converter, UCC33421, but it was mostly bait-and-switch.

We finally got a few samples, but delivery is November, maybe.

The other thing TI is doing is 2-page "data sheets" with almost no content. I hope the bean counters haven't taken over.

Got some!

Got to admit it's slick, a fraction of the size of a potted dc/dc converter. And the 5v output is regulated.

I'll test it for noise and such, and have it x-rayed.
