Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a configurable TIA circuit that can be used as both a single-ended 'target TIA' and a differential “reference TIA”. The configurable TIA may include a first circuit to receive an input from a first photodiode (PD), the first circuit comprising a first switch and a first output buffer. The configurable TIA may also include a second circuit to receive an input from a second PD, the second circuit comprising a second switch and a second output buffer. The first and second switches are configured to operate the first and second circuits as independent signal paths via which the input from the first and second PDs can drive the first and second output buffers respectively in a first mode, and in a second mode, combine the input from the first and second PDs into the first output buffer to generate a single differential output.
