Hello folks,
I've a detection board made with a Hamamatsu S2386 photodiode, going through a transimpedance amp (an AD8015ARZ chip) and 1MΩ gain. However, the sensitivity is really low with only about 0.4V dynamic range between ambient light and covering the PD completely. It's being powered by 5V DC. First, is there anything simple I've missed? And secondly, any advice would be much appreciated!
