In TIDA-010267, the photodiodes signal, in the form of a current on the order of nano-Amps is converted to a voltage and amplified to fit in the range of the ADC of the MSPM0L1306. This is achievable using the low input bias current of the integrated OPA, allowing the design to utilize the OPA as a TIA, as shown in Figure 2-5. Using the MSPM0L1306 voltage input as a reference for the high-speed ADC, the convertor can more rapidly sample, which allows for oversampling and reduced LED on-time. An internal voltage monitoring feature in between samples, allows the MSPM0L1306 to quantify the level of the incoming signal and adjust parameters accordingly. Further features, such as internal temperature sensing, are also possible.
