Abstract
A transimpedance amplifier according to the present invention is designed for high-speed fiber optic communications. The transimpedance amplifier preferably includes an input stage, a second stage and a bias generator. The input stage is operably coupled to the second stage and has an input impedance. The second stage has an output impedance. The bias generator is operably coupled to the input stage and the second stage, and operates to bias the input stage and second stage such that the input impedance substantially matches the output impedance. In this manner, the input and output impedances of a transimpedance amplifier of a fiber optics communication receiver are controllable to a desired impedance for interfacing with a transmission line.
