General Description
The DS1842A integrates the discrete high-voltage
components necessary for avalanche photodiode
(APD) bias and monitor applications. A switch FET and
precision voltage-divider network are 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 features an external shutdown. The precision voltage-divider network is provided for precise control of the APD bias voltage. The
device also includes a dual current mirror to monitor
the APD current.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
(TA= -40°C to +85°C, unless otherwise noted.)
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
Note 1: Rising MIROUT transition from 10µA to 1mA; V
MIRIN
= 40V, 2.5kΩ load.
Note 2: Not production tested. Guaranteed by design.
