This paper presents the development of a bandwidth enhancement technique for a resistive shunt-feedback transimpedance amplifier (TIA). The technique relies upon a π-peaking network realization using the shunt-feedback TIA as a part of the network in order to achieve a high bandwidth while maintaining a low noise performance. The output is obtained by making use of subsequent amplifier stages with the non-uniform constant-k output network for simultaneously high gain and bandwidth. Practical performance verification was provided via the designs and simulations of two π-peaking TIAs in a silicon CMOS implementation and a discrete HJFET implementation. Simulated results clearly indicates superior bandwidth of the π-peaking TIA over the conventional shunt-feedback TIA at practically no cost to circuit complexity and power consumption.

This paper describes and analyzes a low-noise and high-bandwidth transimpedance amplifier featuring a large dynamic range. The designed amplifier is configured on three identical stages that use an active load compensated by an active resistor to improve the stability performance of the amplifier. This topology displays a transimpedance gain of 150 kΩ, which is necessary to obtain a high sensitivity. This structure operates at 5 V power supply voltage, exhibits a gain bandwidth product of 18 THzΩ and a low-noise level of about [Formula: see text]. This transimpedance amplifier can reach a transmission speed of 240 Mb/s for a photocurrent of 0.5 μA. For a photocurrent of 9.5 μA, a transmission speed of 622 Mb/s can be achieved by using an optical fiber connection containing four channels. The predicted performance is verified by simulations using PSPICE and MAGIC tools with 0.8 μm CMOS AMS parameters.

Abstract. We installed the new Isotopx ATONA Faraday cup detector amplifiers on an Isotopx NGX mass spectrometer at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in early 2018. The ATONA is a capacitive transimpedance amplifier, which differs from the traditional resistive transimpedance amplifier used on most Faraday detectors for mass spectrometry. Instead of a high gain resistor, a capacitor is used to accumulate and measure charge. The advantages of this architecture are a very low noise floor, rapid response time, stable baselines, and very high dynamic range. We show baseline noise measurements and measurements of argon from air and cocktail gas standards to demonstrate the capabilities of these amplifiers. The ATONA exhibits a noise floor better than a traditional 1013 Ω amplifier in normal noble gas mass spectrometer usage, superior gain and baseline stability, and an unrivaled dynamic range that makes it practical to measure beams ranging in size from below 10−16 A to above 10−9 A using a single amplifier.

Abstract This work presents a high-gain broadband inverter-based cascode transimpedance amplifier fabricated in a 65-nm CMOS process. Multiple bandwidth enhancement techniques, including input bonding wire, input series on-chip inductive peaking and negative capacitance compensation, are adopted to overcome the large off-chip photodiode capacitive loading and the miller capacitance of the input device, achieving an overall bandwidth enhancement ratio of 8.5. The electrical measurement shows TIA achieves 58 dBΩ up to 12.7 GHz with a 180-fF off-chip photodetector. The optical measurement demonstrates a clear open eye of 20 Gb/s. The TIA dissipates 4 mW from a 1.2-V supply voltage.
