LTC6561
Four-Channel Multiplexed
Transimpedance Amplifier
with Output Multiplexing
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LTC®6561 is a low-noise four-channel, transimped-
ance amplifier (TIA)with 220MHz bandwidth. The LTC6561
multi-channel transimpedance amplifier’s low noise, high
transimpedance, and low power dissipation are ideal for
LIDAR receivers using Avalanche Photodiodes (APDs).
The amplifier features 74kΩ transimpedance gain and
30µA linear input current range. Using an APD input cir-
cuit with a total capacitance of 2pF, the input current noise
density is 4.5pA/√Hz at 200MHz. With lower capacitance,
noise and bandwidth improve further. Only a 5V single
supply is needed and the device consumes only 200mW.
Utilizing the internal 4-to-1 MUX along with the LTC6561’s
output MUX; multiple 4-channel LTC6561 devices can be
combined to directly interface with 8, 12, 16 and 32-chan-
nel APD arrays. The LTC6561’s fast overload recovery
and fast channel switchover make it well suited for LIDAR
receivers with multiple APDs. Its single-ended output can
