Hello everyone, i designed a card to Read with an ADC the current of a photo diode InGa .
I have designed something similar with the following modules
-TIA (Transimbedance amp)
-sallen key low pass filter
-16 Bit ADC
-In Another card High voltage supply for the photo diode
The previous design had a problem with 50 Hz humming (I'm pretty sure that it passes through magnetic field) I shielded the system with copper tape and worked fine
Now this photo diode has a heatsink that the photo diode fits inhttp://www.hamamatsu.com/eu/en/product/category/3100/4007/4175/A3179/index.
Out of the heat sink comes a coaxial cable where the center conductor is the anode and the shield the cathode , it has another cable for TEC cooling but there is no noise there.
I have not been able to shield the system and I'm going to try cutting the humming with an instrumentation amplifier.
The expected signal is dc and the noise is 50 Hz with harmonics in 75 and 100 Hz.
I made a design (pdf) but it must be wrong .. because when you get the signal from the first op-amp (TIA) it changes it's phase, so on the second op-amp (IN-amp) the 50 Hz noise will have a difference in phase from signal to Ground.
Another approach is putting the anode-cathode of the photo diode on the inputs of an in-amp, but where am i going to put the 0,5 V reverse bias voltage and how will the 0,5 V bias voltage effect the in-amp
help guys...
