Datasheet

General Description
The DS3923 high-speed current mirror integrates high-
voltage devices necessary for monitoring the burst-mode
receive power signal in avalanche photodiode (APD) bias-
ing and optical line terminal (OLT) applications. It provides
small and large gain current mirror outputs to monitor the
APD current. A sample/hold circuit with automatic gain
selection captures the sampled signal so that an external
ADC can accurately measure the signal. An adjustable
current clamp limits current through the APD. The clamp
also features an external shutdown. An integrated FET is
also provided which can be used with an external DC-DC
controller to create a high-voltage boost DC-DC converter.
The DS3923 is available in a 24-pin TQFN package and
operates over an extended temperature range of -40°C
to +95°C.
