Hi everyone.

Does anyone know where can I get info about OTRA (Operational Transresistance Amplifier) design???? How to do the sizing, placement, diferent techniques, etc???

Thanks in advance,

Re: OTRA design

In fact, OTA is the same Op Amp when you want to use its transconductance charateristic (output current/ input voltage), but since normal opamps have small input range that the G spec. is linear;
thus you should increase input range for more linearity by various techniques e.g. gain boosting (or use further simple opamps at input).
you can refer to John & Martin's book (chap. 15), where Gm-C filters need constant Gms and then tuning is introduced.

thanks for your reply, but actually I'm looking for info about transresistance opamps, not transconductance. :D
 

Re: OTRA design

I think that reference can be good start point for you.

Re: OTRA design

Thanks DenisMark but I alredy have this papper. I looking for something that has a little more of theory related to OTRAs. Do you know of any books that cover this topic??

thanks,

Re: OTRA design

In my opinion, i think the book written by P E.Allen is very good.
It's enough for we to study the OP AMP.
 

OTRA design

Did you try using TIA's (trans-impedance amplifiers) as a search word?
