Embedded Computing Design

In Part 4, we?ll dive into the derivation of the noise gain transfer function.

The DC transimpedance amplifier discussion, in my previous blog: TIA Fundamentals Part 2: Signal Frequency Response, is a good start towards understanding the AC signal response.

Ultimately, at the end of the next three blogs, insights will be provided about the stability of the transimpedance amplifier (TIA) circuit.

The TIA circuit seems to be reasonably straightforward, so why all the hubbub over a circuit that has four components: a photodiode, an amplifier, a feedback resistor, and a feedback capacitor?

This blog points out a common EOS power-up condition with a simple added resistor solution.

The ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) internal transistors in your integrated circuits (IC), such as your amplifier, ADC, or DAC, can definitely save your bacon.

The primary ESD tests are the human-body model (HBM), the machine model (MM), and the charged-device model (CDM).

This type of damage is most apt to occur in the assembly process or before the chips have been assembled into their final PCB resting place.

Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers process satellite signals to compute position, velocity, and time.
