A transimpedance amplifier will be designed with a low-frequency “gain” of 2000 ohm (66 dBΩ), flat up to 1 GHz, delivering a rail-to rail output voltage swing to a C_L= 1 pF external capacitive load.
The internal impedance of the driving current signal source is 10 k ohm parallel to 50 fF (the output impedance of the previous stage).
The design will be made using the AMS 0.35 micron CMOS technology parameters.
As one of the candidate configurations, we will design a CMOS inverter type circuit.
Since any peaking on the frequency response (any over-shoot on the pulse response) is not acceptable, a double-pole solution is targeted.
The design will be made using the expressions derived in this section, and then fine-tuned with PSpice.
