Magics offers essential technologies for optical communication and LIDAR, centered around the MAG-TDC00002—a patented radiation-hardened single-shot time-to-digital converter that provides unparalleled precision and accuracy in time measurements. Complementing this core capability is the MAG-TIA00001, a low-noise trans-impedance amplifier tailored for optical front ends, ensuring high-quality signal amplification. Together, these advanced components form the backbone of cutting-edge optical sensing and communication systems.
The MAG-TIA00001-SC is a low-noise, 4-channel transimpedance amplifier (TIA) that converts photodiode current into voltage, featuring configurable DC (0 to 10 kHz) and AC (3 to 30 MHz) gain paths. It offers two selectable DC current ranges for optimized noise performance and includes a voltage limiter to protect against higher supply voltages. The ASIC supports individual channel power-down modes and is cold-spare compatible, allowing it to handle input voltage without a supply.
