When designing a transimpedance amplifier under such narrow restrictions, there are many considerations in the design methodology of the circuit. There are many different topologies for a transimpedance amplifier (TIA) and they all have their own advantages and disadvantages. The simplest form that we think of intuitively is a simple resistive fron. - ID vs. VDS for 0 W = 5um (N0), W = 10um (N1), W = 20um (N8), W = 40um (N9), and W = 80um (N10) Figure 2.1: Schematic for process characterization of Ids v. Vds Figure 2.2: Simulation results for Ids v Vds of devices with various widths Figure 2.3: Hand calculations for Ids v. Vds Comparing Figure 2.3and Figure 2.2, the results for this process ch. After considering the different topologies and strategies to achieve high gain, high bandwidth, low noise, and high output voltage swing, all while maintain low power I decided on the following design: Figure 3.1: TIA schematic with 4 stages: 1st, 2nd (differential), 3rd (+/-), 4th (+/-) My design uses a multistage cascade design in which each of t. ****Full copy of hand calculation attached to the back of the report. While the majority of the hand calculations are appended to the back of this report, there are some key observations about the general DC calculations, gain, bandwidth and noise of the circuit. Figure 4.1: Hand calculations for power Throughout the implementation of this design,. a. DC Operating Point Annotations and Summary Table Figure 5.0: TIA with annotated component names and DC node voltages Figure 5.1: DC operating point table *** It is important to note that only devices N0 & N1, P2 & P3, and P6 & P8 are true differential pairs. All other device pairs referred to as 'diff pair' are part of stage 3(+/-) or 4(+/-) and.
