  • Patent number: 12255593
    Abstract: A transimpedance amplifier (TIA) for converting an input current at an input node into an output voltage at an output node, the TIA comprising: a first amplifier stage having a first input coupled to the input node and a first output; a feedback path between the first output and the first input; a second amplifier stage in the feedback path having a second input, the second input coupled to the first output of the first amplifier stage; a feedback resistor in the feedback path coupled between an output of the second amplifier stage and first input of the first amplifier stage; and an output stage, comprising: a load resistor coupled between a reference voltage node and a T-coil, the T-coil comprising first and second inductors coupled in series at an inductor node, the T-coil coupled between the first output and the load resistor, the inductor node coupled to the output node of the TIA.
