A filter comprising an off-chip capacitor is described. The off-chip capacitor may be coupled to a circuit bonding pad. The output terminal of an amplifier may be coupled to the circuit bonding pad by a plurality of conductors insulated from one another over at least a portion between the output terminal and the circuit bonding pad.

Transimpedance amplifier

Disclosed is a transimpendance amplifier comprising a single ended input terminal to receive an input signal from a photodiode and differential output terminals. A circuit coupled between the single ended input terminal and a differential output terminal may vary the gain of the transimpedance amplifier in response to a DC current component of the input signal.

Described is an apparatus comprising a transimpedance amplifier to receive an input current from a photodiode and provide an output voltage at first and second differential output terminals. A receive signal strength indicator may generate a differential receive signal strength indication (RSSI) signal based, at least in part, upon a voltage across the first and second differential output terminals.

Transimpedance amplifier with receive signal strength indicator

Disclosed is a transimpedance amplifier comprising a multi-stage amplifier, a DC current detection circuit to detect a DC current component of an input signal and a DC current removal circuit to substantially remove the DC current component of the input signal.

Transimpedance ampifier

Disclosed is a transimpedance amplifier comprising a multistage amplifier and a feedback circuit coupled between a single ended input terminal and one of a plurality of differential output terminals of the multistage amplifier. The feedback circuit may control an input voltage at the single input terminal to substantially maintain a set or predetermined transconductance between the single ended input terminal and the differential output terminals.

Described are a circuit and system to provide an output signal in response to composite input signal comprising an AC signal component and a DC signal component. An amplifier provides an amplified voltage signal in response to a voltage representative of the composite signal. A filter may provide a filtered voltage signal having a magnitude that is representative of a magnitude of the DC signal component in response to the amplified voltage signal. A DC signal removal circuit may substantially remove at least a portion of the DC signal component from an input terminal in response filtered voltage signal.
