How to Enlarge the Bandwidth Without Increasing the Noise in OP-AMP-Based Transimpedance Amplifier.

Increasing the bandwidth without degrading the noise performance represents the main challenge in the design of transimpedance amplifiers. This paper presents a novel circuit topology for a transimpedance amplifier that allows obtaining an improved tradeoff between equivalent input noise and bandwidth with respect to the conventional approach. The effectiveness of the new topology has been demonstrated by designing and testing a prototype of a transimpedance amplifier based on the proposed topology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
