MCP6031DM-PTPLS

MCP6031DM-PTPLS is a photodiode PICtail plus demo board. It demonstrates how to use a transimpedance amplifier, which consists of MCP6031 high precision op amp and external resistors, to convert photo-current (IS) to voltage. The circuit was not calibrated for absolute accuracy. The RC low pass filter that is implemented in this circuit can remove the high frequency noise and interference from the signal path prior to the analog to digital (A/D) conversion. The PICmicro on the Explorer 16 Development Board communicates with the MCP6031 Photodiode PICtail Plus Demo Board and completes the analog to digital conversion.

• Supports MCP6031 high precision op amp
• Uses a transimpedance amplifier as sensor conditioning circuit
• Uses a PIN photodiode (PNZ334) as light detector
• Test points for connecting lab equipment
