“…Therefore, they are unsuitable for such applications. An alternative TIA chip design that employs an inductive peaking technique can reach gigahertz bandwidths with low power consumption [15]. However, obtaining a flat response using this technique poses a challenge, leading to undesired overshoots in the output signal [16].…”

In this paper, we present a front-end for gigahertz applications, FGATI, which utilizes a transimpedance amplifier design to amplify the current signal from a diamond particle detector. The transimpedance amplifier design adopts a flipped-voltage-follower-based current-mirror (FVF-CM) topology as the input stage, offering advantages such as low power consumption, large transimpedance gain, gigahertz bandwidth, and reasonable noise levels. The FVF-CM topology was realized to improve noise reduction with a fully differential output configuration. The design was implemented as an ASIC chip using 65 nm CMOS silicon technology. The bandwidth measurement of the FGATI prototype demonstrated a 3-dB bandwidth of 1.2 GHz. Furthermore, the amplifier's power consumption is low, drawing only 7.2 mW/channel from a 1.2 V power supply, including the buffer stage. The measurement of the FGATI output signal indicated an excellent transimpedance gain of 79.2 dBΩ and a noise level of 6.7 mVrms. These findings highlight the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed front-end design in high-frequency applications.

“…An ideal nuclear imaging system needs to be fast, with a small rise time and dynamic slew rate correction and be low power and small sized for radiation detection readout [69,70]. However, even with design techniques, the CSP's slew rate is in the microseconds range [71]. In practice, CSP and the shaping amplifier can be substituted with a transimpedance amplifier, where the current can be directly converted into an output voltage [72].…”

Silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) offer advantages such as lower relative cost, smaller size, and lower operating voltages compared to photomultiplier tubes. A SiPM’s readout circuit topology can significantly affect the characteristics of an imaging array. In nuclear imaging and detection, energy, timing, and position are the primary characteristics of interest. Nuclear imaging has applications in the medical, astronomy, and high energy physics fields, making SiPMs an active research area. This work is focused on the circuit topologies required for nuclear imaging. We surveyed the readout strategies including the front end preamplification topology choices of transimpedance amplifier, charge amplifier, and voltage amplifier. In addition, a review of circuit topologies suitable for energy, timing, and position information extraction was performed along with a summary of performance limitations and current challenges.

This paper presents design, mathematical analysis, and measurement of low noise singlestage transimpedance amplifier (TIA) with scalable bandwidth using 130 nm bipolar complementary metaloxide-semiconductor (BiCMOS) silicon-germanium (SiGe) process. Common-emitter (CE) shunt-shunt feedback topology with active inductor peaking has been used in the design for improving noise, gain and driving capability of TIA by decreasing the input and output impedance, respectively. The use of active inductive peaking in CE shunt-shunt feedback topology has resulted in a new TIA configuration with better performance. The circuit has been optimized for low noise performance by adopting the proposed design technique. Validity of the mathematical analysis and design for the proposed TIA has been established with the help of simulations as well as measurement results. The measurement results of Ku-band TIA (10 MHz to 14 GHz) have demonstrated a transimpedance gain of 53.2 dBΩ, input-referred current noise of 16.8 pA/ √Hz with power consumption of 9.8 mW . The design architecture is adaptable for higher frequency bands, which has been demonstrated by designing another TIA covering K-and Ka-bands (10 MHz to 35 GHz) with transimpedance gain of 33.4 dBΩ, input-referred current noise of 29.4 pA/ √Hz with power consumption of 28.1 mW in the post-layout simulation results, and occupies same chip area as that of 14 GHz, i.e., 0.1 × 0.21 mm 2 INDEX TERMS BiCMOS, CE topology, inductive peaking, low noise, silicon-photonics, TIA
