Abstract
A photosensitive semiconductor apparatus in which a photodiode is connected between the inverting input (-) and non-inverting input (+) terminals of an operational amplifier. A non-linear element is connected between the inverting input and output terminals of the amplifier. The amplifier includes a device for applying a reverse voltage across the photodiode. The reverse biasing voltage applying device may include a resistor connected in the circuit including one of the differential active loads of the amplifier, or different areas of the emitters of the differential active loads of the amplifer.
