Abstract:

This paper concerns the design and the implementation of a transimpedance amplifier (TIA) dedicated to detector of Near Infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). To reduce the effect of the input capacitance on the bandwidth, a bias circuit with low input impedance is connected to input stage. A single ended common source common gate input stage based on a cascode structure is used to get a higher gain bandwidth closed loop transimpedance amplifier. In addition, a higher open loop gain is got by adding second active load. To increase noise circuit performance, a feedback single transistor technique is considered. The TIA is implemented in 0.18 μm CMOS process. Simulation results show a transimpedance gain of 104.2 dBΩ, -3dB bandwidth of 19 MHz and an equivalent input noise current spectral density of 446 fA/√Hz. A comparative study confirms the feasibility of our proposal.
