Application Division
Transimpedance amplifier circuits
Low inverting, input current noise (2pA/
CLC420 ideal for high-sensitivity transimpedance amplifier
circuits for applications such as pin-diode optical receivers,
and detectors in receiver IFs. However, feedback resistors
4k or greater are required if feedback resistor noise current
is going to be less than the input current noise contribution of
the op-amp.
With feedback resistors this large, shunt capacitance on the
inverting input of the op-amp (from the pin-diode, etc.) will
unacceptably degrade phase margin causing frequency re-
sponse peaking or oscillations a small valued capacitor
shunting the feedback resistor solves this problem (Note:
This approach does not work for a current-feedback op-amp
configured for transimpedance applications). To determine
the value of this capacitor, refer to the “Transimpedance BW
vs. R
For example, let’s assume an optical transimpedance re-
ceiver is being developed. Total capacitance from the invert-
ing input to ground, including the photodiode and strays is
5pF. A 5k
provide best dynamic range based on the response of the
photodiode and the range of incident optical powers, etc.

Printed circuit layout
As with any high frequency device, a good PCB layout will
enhance performance. Ground plane construction and good
power supply bypassing close to the package are critical to
achieving full performance. The amplifier is sensitive to stray
capacitance to ground at the output and inverting input:
Node connections should be small with minimal coupling to
the ground plane.
Parasitic or load capacitance directly on the output (pin 6)
will introduce additional phase shift in the loop degrading the
loop phase margin and leading to frequency response peak-
ing. A small series resistor before this capacitance, if
present, effectively decouples this effect. The graphs on the
