Abstract:
This letter proposes a transimpedance amplifier (TIA) architecture that minimizes noise for continuous-time (CT) low-current sensing. The approach leverages a MOSFET to realize a pure p-n junction diode as the TIA feedback element, such that MOS channel conduction is completely suppressed. Therefore, channel-induced noise contributions associated with conventional MOS-based feedback …
