Abstract
Disclosed is a transimpedance amplifier, comprising a first-stage trans-conductance amplifier TCA, a second-stage TCA, a third-stage amplifier and a feedback circuit. The first-stage TCA is electrically connected to an input current source to receive a first input signal, and outputs a first output signal. The second-stage TCA is electrically connected to the first-stage TCA to receive the first output signal, and outputs a second output signal. The third-stage amplifier is electrically connected to the second-stage TCA to receive the second output signal, and outputs a third output signal. One end of the feedback circuit is electrically connected to the input of the first-stage TCA, and the other end of the feedback circuit is electrically connected to the output of the third-stage amplifier to stabilize the third output signal. The third-stage amplifier is composed of a first output stage and a second output stage.
