摘要
利用对数放大的增益可变性特点,设计出基于对数放大的跨阻放大器,克服了采用传统AGC调整跨阻的复杂性和低可靠性;同时,避免了采用肖特基二极管箝位方法的工艺局限性,有效扩展了跨阻放大器的输入动态范围。在详细分析跨阻动态特性及温度特性的基础上,分析了电路噪声性能,并进行了仿真验证。试验样片的测试结果进一步证明所提出的方法是有效的。
A transimpedance amplifier based on the variable gain characteristics of logarithmic amplification is implemented, which is easier to implement and more reliable than the conventional transimpedance amplifier based on AGC. Furthermore, unlike the transimpedance amplifier based on clamping function of shottky diode, the proposed device is not limited by process. The input dynamic range is considerably extended. The noise performance of the trans-impedance amplifier is analyzed, as well as its dynamic and temperature characteristics. The analysis is verified with simulation, and test results of a prototype chip further confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method.
