Abstract

A sub-40 kilohertz low-frequency cutoff is provided for via a transimpedance amplifier comprising differential inputs and differential outputs; coupling capacitors comprising input terminals configured to receive electrical signals, and output terminals coupled to the differential inputs; and feedback paths coupled to the differential outputs and operable to level shift voltage levels at the input terminals. In some embodiments, the feedback paths comprise source follower transistors wherein the differential outputs are coupled to gate terminals of the source follower transistors or the feedback paths further comprise feedback resistors. In some embodiments, a bias resistor is coupled between the differential inputs.
