ABSTRACT:
An electronic clamping circuit is provided. In one preferred embodiment, the clamping circuit includes a pair of diodes connected in series, both having the same bias, which are shunted across a feedback path of a transimpedance amplifier circuit. A capacitor is connected to a node in-between the diodes and a potential (e.g., ground). The arrangement of the diodes and capacitor serve to keep the amplifier circuit's operation within its linear limits without severely degrading its bandwidth.
