Transimpedance amplifier

OverviewDC operationBandwidth and stabilityNoise considerationsDiscrete TIA designSourcesIn electronics, a transimpedance amplifier (TIA) is a current to voltage converter, almost exclusively implemented with one or more operational amplifiers (opamps). The TIA can be used to amplify the current output of Geiger–Müller tubes, photo multiplier tubes, accelerometers, photodetectors and other sensors (that are modeled well as a current source) into a usable voltage.
