This paper introduces a set of design tools for maximally flat transimpedance and bootstrap-
transimpedance preamplifiers driven by capacitive current sources (photodetectors). A four …

In any photodetector application, capacitance is a major factor which limits response time.
Decreasing load resistance improves this aspect, but at the expense of sensitivity. In the …

The main figure of merit for transimpedance amplifiers used in amplifying photocurrents in
fiber-optics systems is the optical sensitivity. This sensitivity is determined by the equivalent …

Classical designs of optical transimpedance amplifiers for pin photodiode receiver circuits
generally employ common-emitter or common-source input stages. In this paper we explore …

Most optical communication receivers employ common-emitter (BJT) configuration for the
transimpedance preamplifier. In this paper the common-base regulated cascode and …

A PIN photodiode-bipolar transistor transimpedance optical preamplifier with a very low
input resistance is described that exhibits certain advantages over more conventional …

Optical receivers have many different uses covering simple infrared receivers, high speed
fiber optic communication and light based instrumentation. All of them have an optical …

An analytical method for designing monolithic, broadband transimpedance amplifiers with
inductive peaking is presented. Closed-form, symbolic solutions for the small-signal …

Transimpedance amplifiers using voltage feedback operational amplifiers are widely used
for current to voltage conversion in applications when a moderate/high bandwidth and a …

Due to optical wireless link power budget considerations, the receiver is required to have a
large collection area. One of the main noise mechanisms in wideband preamplifiers …
