DS1842 Overview
The DS1842 integrates the discrete high-voltage ponents necessary for avalanche photodiode (APD) bias and monitor applications. A switch FET is used in conjunction with an external DC-DC controller to create a boost DC-DC converter. A current clamp limits current through the APD and also.
