MAX40660/MAX40661
Transimpedance Amplifier with 100mA Input
Current Clamp for Automotive LiDAR
General Description
Benefits and Features
The MAX40660 and MAX40661 are transimpedance am-
plifiers for optical distance measurement receivers in Li-
DAR applications. Low noise, high gain, low group delay,
and fast recovery from overload make these TIAs ideal for
distance-measurement applications. Important features
include 2.38pA input-referred noise density (MAX40660),
an internal input clamp, pin-selectable 25kΩ and 50kΩ
transimpedance, and wide bandwidth (490MHz (typ) for
the MAX40660 with 0.5pF input capacitance and 25kΩ
transimpedance; 160MHz (typ) for the MAX40661 with
10pF input capacitance). An offset current input allows
optional adjustment of input offset current. A low-power/
standby control input reduces the supply current by better
than 80% to help reduce average power supply current
between pulses. The MAX40660 and MAX40661 transim-
pedance amplifiers feature AEC-Q100 qualification, en-
able ASIL compliance, and are available in a 3mm x
3mm,10-lead TDFN package with side-wettable flanks,
making them excellent choices for automotive LiDAR ap-
plications.
