  • Method and system for transimpedance amplifiers with high current input while maintaining high transimpedance gain and bandwidth
    Patent number: 6798282
    Abstract: Method and system for a diode shunting configuration wherein the configuration prevents a transimpedance amplifier from saturation while maintaining high transimpedance gain and bandwidth. In one embodiment of the present invention, a diode is coupled to the input of a transimpedance amplifier in order to prevent the transimpedance amplifier from saturation. Moreover, the diode serves to divert current such that in cases where the input current is low the diode never turns on and only represents a minimal, mostly capacitive load on the input; in cases where the input current is high, the diode conducts and diverts any excess input current from the transimpedance amplifier.
