Transimpedance amplifier (Read 4738 times)

Muhammed Junior Member Offline Posts: 16	Transimpedance amplifier Jun 14^th, 2012, 4:40pm Hello all .. I design TIA using CG topologies with current source .. but i don't knew how to simulate it in cadence ... i did not find any port supply current Anyone found current port in cadence please tell me .. thanks in advance

I found large amount of noise about 50dB thermal noise which is not reasonable so i am asking about how i could do it right

Are you just simulating the TIA by itself?

If so, then you should be able to use "noise" analysis where an input port is not explicitly needed.

If your results are not what you expect, then it is probably a good idea to double check the simulation bench set up or look at the noise contributor summary to see which devices are contributing the most noise at the output. Perhaps this will help you debug why the noise is not what you expect or like.
