  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CROSS-OVER BOND-WIRES FOR TIA INPUT
    Publication number: 20090189059
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for improving electromagnetic interference resistance in sensor-amplifier configurations. A sensor receives a stimulus and generates a current in response to the stimulus. The current is propagated to an amplifier circuit via a pair of cross-over bond-wires creating two counter rotating loop antennae where electromagnetic interference currents induced in one loop cancel interference currents induced in the second loop such that only the sensor current is propagated to the amplifier circuit. The amplifier circuit then amplifies the propagated sensor signal.
