摘要:Low noise and low Power transimpedance amplifiers (TIA) are essential modules for optical sensor based systems. But low power and low noise TIAs are still a challenge for the scientists despite of rapid advances in complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology. This paper proposes a three-stage nested miller compensated (NMC) based design of low noise low power transimpedance amplifier for stable wideband operation. The circuit is designed in the 0.18�m CMOS technology by using Mentor Graphics environment. The simulation results show that the proposed TIA can operate at frequency 20 KHz and produces an output of 1.4265V for �1.2 V input voltages dissipating only 2.9206 mW power at 27�C temperature. The complete layout of the TIA is only 0.005 �m2.This shunt-feedback TIA can be a better choice for high-resolution, low-to mid frequency applications.
