TPA8801B
High Sensitivity Current Input Interface
Description
TPA8801B is a high sensitivity current input interface,
which can covert the pA to nA range current signal to 5V
range output.
TPA8801B use one resister to set the transduce gain,
can provide ideal 4.56GΩ current to voltage DC gain
when the resister is 20KΩ. As the output is saturated in
the real application by offset voltage of internal amplifier,
AC coupled mode is used to remove DC offset voltage
and bias current impaction, so the real AC gain in the
application is less than ideal DC gain depend on the
capacitor values.
The internal precision amplifier has 1pA input bias
current is good to transduce down to 100pA signal,
0.4mV offset voltage to expand the input range for DC
signal, 1.3MHz GBW to meet the requirement of AC
signal which is used in some type of dust sensor
application.
TPA8801B is specified for operation over the -40° to
C
125° range.

TPA8801B is available in 5mm*6mm 14-lead TSSOP
package. TPA8801B possibly in 3mm*2mm 14-lead DFN
package, 1/5 size versus TSSOP-14 package, to meet
the size limitation application, the sample can be
provided in one month.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any
Absolute Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
The inputs are protected by ESD protection diodes to each power supply. If the input extends more than 500mV beyond the power
supply, the input current should be limited to less than 10mA.
Note 3:
A heat sink may be required to keep the junction temperature below the absolute maximum. This depends on the power supply
voltage and how many amplifiers are shorted. Thermal resistance varies with the amount of PC board metal connected to the package. The
specified values are for short traces connected to the leads.

Applications Information
Application for dust detection by infrared pulse stimulation
The Figure 1 and Figure 2 show the popular way to detect dust or PM2.5, PM10 particle by infrared pulse stimulation.
Comparing to laser solution, the infrared solution has low cost by sensor, mechanical design. The response of infrared
photodiode is very small, in 0.1nA to 1nA output, so it needs very high transduce gain to covert the signal to voltage. To
remove the DC impaction like dark current of photodiode, offset voltage and bias current of internal amplifier, the pulse
stimulation is used for the emitting diode, and the high pass filter is used in the TPA8801b.
Gain and pass band calculation of the typical application circuit for infrared
The TPA8801B tools.xlsx is a tool can calculate the circuit setting
1.
Calculate the frequency of pulse
The typical period of infrared pulse is 10ms, the typical width of the infrared pulse is 300µs. The 1/(pulse width) is
the frequency where most of energy of pulse is in, so the low pass frequency is 1/300µs = 3.3KHz.
2.
Set the gain in the pass band
Gain = DG * Rg = 4.56G when Rg = 20K, the result show TPA8801B can convert 0.22nA into 1V output

Please note that the high pass filter will reduce the amplitude of response, so the calculation only give a guide to
set the gain in the real application, it should be adjusted by different sensor design including emitting diode,
photodiode, optical channel and mechanical design.
As the internal DG is 1% accuracy in full temperature range by internal matching resister, the system gain error is
decided by Rg and system level design.

Basically the configuration of typical circuit provide a pass band between 1.7KHz and 3.6KHz which can build the
Comparing to infrared, laser solution to detect dust has better resolution. The signal of laser sensor is strong and fast
than infrared sensor, so the configuration of TPA8801B must be set to smaller gain and faster bandwidth. Typical laser
pulse is about 40µs which provide 1/40µs = 25KHz.
