Abstract
A transimpedance amplifier includes a first inverter having a first input node and a first output node. The first input node is configured to receive an input signal. A second inverter has a second input node and a second output node. The second input node connects to a reference voltage terminal. The first inverter and the second inverter are configured to provide a differential output voltage signal between the first output node and the second output node. A first amplifier is configured to provide feedback to the first input node and a second amplifier is configured to provide feedback to the second input node.
