Overview: In this presentation we will
briefly discuss the model of a photodiode, review common photodiode amplifier
architectures, as well as discuss the sources of noise and distortion in
photodiode circuits and how to avoid them.
After this seminar you should know the basic operation of the photodiode
amplifier and be able to successfully use them in your circuit designs.
