ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a feedback circuit for a transimpedance amplifier, which is typically used for converting an input current from a photodiode into an output voltage. The feedback circuit of the present invention linearizes the transconductance feedback, as the input current signal varies, by providing a constant current source for supplementing the DC feedback current through a bypass transistor, thereby reducing a variation in the low frequency cut off.
