BiCMOS variable gain transimpedance amplifier for automotive applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new BiCMOS variable gain transimpedance amplifier with a large area integrated photodiode for automotive applications is presented. Through careful control of the input pole position and the frequency response of the core amplifier, the bandwidth of the transimpedance amplifier varies from 112 to 300 MHz when its gain changes from 14.2 kV to 400 V. The proposed circuit configuration maintains a high voltage across a common anode photodiode, and its bandwidth in highest gain varies from 121 to 102 MHz over a temperature range of 240 to þ1408C. Simulation results in a 0.6 mm Si BiCMOS technology are given. The amplifier consumes 16 mW from a 3.3 V supply.

Multi-Pole Bandwidth Enhancement Technique for Transimpedance Amplifiers
A new technique for bandwidth enhancement of amplifiers is developed. Adding several passive networks, which can be designed independently, enables the control of transfer function and frequency response behavior. Parasitic capacitances of cascaded gain stages are isolated from each other and absorbed into passive networks. A simplified design procedure, using well-known filter component values...
