High Frequency
Amplifier Circuits
10MHz TO 20MHz LASER LIGHT DETECTOR
This circuit was originally designed to detect laser light pulses for an optical
Ethernet communications system. It has good ambient light immunity.
20MHz VCSEL 3mW LASER TEST CIRCUIT
This circuit takes advantage of some new vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSEL)
that don’t require light output control circuits. The circuit shows how to drive the
device from a single high speed CMOS IC. The circuit can easily be modified to
transmit signals from kilohertz to about 50MHz.
BROAD BAND 2MHz OPTICAL FIBER RECEIVER
If you need more sensitivity than the above circuit this circuit provides about ten
times more gain. It too is designed around an inexpensive plastic optical fiber
detector.
BROAD BAND 5MHz OPTICAL FIBER RECEIVER
This circuit is a simple broad band light detector that uses a very inexpensive IC and a
PIN photodiode that is packaged for use with plastic optical fibers. It has a bandwidth
from 1KHz to over 5MHz.It is great for experimenting
with various modulated light sources.
C-MOS INVERTER MAKES LOW POWER AMP
With the addition of one resistor and a capacitor, some common logic ICs can be
transformed from digital to analog duties. This circuit outlines some the features
to expect from different inverter ICs.
FET INPUT HIGH SPEED LIGHT DETECTOR
This circuit is yet another design that converts current from a PIN photo diode to a
voltage. It has a bandwidth that extends beyond 50MHz.
N-CH AND P-CH TRANSISTORS FORM PUSH-PULL DRIVER
This circuit can produce high speed output signals with fast rise and full times. The
unique change pump action allows the voltage of the upper P-ch device to range from
millivolts to hundreds of volts. The output current is only limited by the rating of the
transistors. I have used this circuit beyond 2MHz.
WIDE BAND ZERO CROSS DETECTOR
This circuit was designed to convert a low amplitude 40KHz signal into a clean square
wave signal. It will work with inputs as small as 5mv peak-to-peak or as large as
3 volts peak to peak. The input frequency can range from a few kilohertz to about
150KHz.
