Abstract :
Combining the self-compensated topology with the negative-impedance-compensation technique, a differential TIA with enlarged input-capacitance tolerances is designed in a 0.18μm CMOS technology. The DR is measured to be >20dB without using any gain control. The complete TIA IC consumes 40mW from a 1.8V supply.
