Photodiode Amplifiers: OP AMP Solutions

Arrived on time, packaged well, works great thanks ! ! ! !

He book is excellent: it is very well written, the author explains itself very well and knows what he talks about. It is very pedagogic: moves from step to step for the reader to understand the solution from initial trivial circuits into more complicated ones, but with better performance. I offers insight of involved parameters and how they condition final result (if they affect in linear ways, quadratic or square root, for example): if does not offer solutions but knowledge.Simple but valuable practice: equations always defines terms involved.Not so good comments: is appears to me too theoretical. I would like to found real life values of items. This makes the content less future-proof, but offers insight in real things.Really nice book.

You need a solid background in circuit analysis book to extract the knowledge from this book. Less emphasis on device physics but more on device implementation which is what I was looking for.

Basic stuff. This book collects dust on my lab shelf. Transimpedance amplifiers - you can find this stuff on the web for free. Absolutely no talk of charge integration.

This book is an excellent reference for understanding the Photodiode circuits. It is gives good coverage of the limitations of the transimpedance amplfier, gives good comparision of different schemes for I to V convertors and covers noise in photodiode circuits extensively. It is a good text for low frequency application . Not meant for real high speed design reference.

This book was a good introduction to the concerns of building a photodiode front end. Electronics develops so fast that modern packaged amplifiers may obviate the use of some older techniques, but it is still a good idea to read about the principles and appreciate what features the integrated solution offers (and not!)

Not a cookbook of ideas like some books, this one walks the reader through a progressive complexity of circuits for scientific use. Would recommend to anyone starting to design critical light measurement circuits. assumes prior knowledge of basic electronics, Op-Amp filter design etc.
