In this paper, after discussing some important limitations of the most common circuital configuration that is used for the realization of very low-noise transimpedance amplifiers, we propose and analyze a new circuit topology which allows us to obtain significant advantages as far as equivalent input current noise and bandwidth (BW) are concerned. We present a simple circuit implementation of the new transimpedance amplifier, together with the results of its noise characterization. The comparison between these measurements and those obtained on a conventional transimpedance amplifier with the same transimpedance gain has confirmed that the proposed approach allows us to obtain a lower background noise and a larger BW for the same transimpedance gain.

Abstract
In this paper, after discussing some important limitations of the most common circuital configuration that is used for the realization of very low-noise transimpedance amplifiers, we propose and analyze a new circuit topology which allows us to obtain significant advantages as far as equivalent input current noise and bandwidth (BW) are concerned. We present a simple circuit implementation of the new transimpedance amplifier, together with the results of its noise characterization. The comparison between these measurements and those obtained on a conventional transimpedance amplifier with the same transimpedance gain has confirmed that the proposed approach allows us to obtain a lower background noise and a larger BW for the same transimpedance gain.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
