Title: Biased low differential input impedance current receiver/converter device and method for low noise readout from voltage-controlled detectors

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1018058

A first stage electronic system for receiving charge or current from voltage-controlled sensors or detectors that includes a low input impedance current receiver/converter device (for example, a transimpedance amplifier), which is directly coupled to the sensor output, a source of bias voltage, and the device's power supply (or supplies), which use the biased voltage point as a baseline.
