TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
This is not the lowest noise confi guration for a transistor, as
downstream noise sources appear at the input completely
unattenuated. At low frequency, this is not a concern for a
transimpedance amplifi er because the noise gain is 1 and
the output noise is dominated by the 130nV/√Hz of the 1MΩ
R1. However, at increasing frequencies the capacitance
of the photodiode comes into play and the circuit noise
gain rises as the 1MΩ feedback looks back into lower and
lower impedance. But capacitor C2 comes to the rescue.
In addition to the obvious quenching of noise source R3,
capacitor C2 increases the JFET gain to about 30 at high
frequency effectively attenuating the downstream noise
contributions of R2 and the op amp input noise. Thus the
circuit achieves low input voltage noise at high frequency
where it is most needed. Amplifi er LT6003 is used to
buffer the output voltage of the photodiode and R7 and
C4 are used to fi lter out the voltage noise of the LT6003.
Bandwidth to 700kHz was achieved with this circuit, with
integrated output noise being 160μV
supply current was a very low 2.2mA.

60dB 5.5MHz Gain Block
Figure 6 shows the LTC6247 confi gured as a low power
high gain high bandwidth block. Two amplifi ers each
confi gured with a gain of 31V/V, are cascaded in series. A
660nF capacitor is used to limit the DC gain of the block
to around 30dB to minimize output offset voltage. Figure 7
shows the frequency response of the block. Mid-band
voltage gain is approximately 60dB with a –3dB frequency
of 5.5MHz, thus resulting in a gain-bandwidth product of
5.5GHz with only 1.9mA of quiescent supply current.
Single 2.7V Supply 4MHz 4th Order Butterworth Filter
Benefi tting from low voltage operation and rail-to-rail
output, a low power fi lter that is suitable for antialiasing
can be built as shown in Figure 8. On a 2.7V supply the
fi lter has a passband of approximately 4MHz with 2V
input signal and a stopband attenuation that is greater than
–75dB at 43MHz as shown in Figure 9. The resistor and
capacitor values can be scaled to reduce noise at the cost
of large signal power consumption and distortion.
