Simulation of transimpedance amplifier direction of current source

Current comes out of one side of the sensor and goes into the other, it''s up to you how you connect it. Unless there''s more to it but presumably you don''t know that yet anyway so

The Transimpedance Amplifier [A Circuit for All Seasons]

In a patent filed in 1967, Miller proposes the circuit shown in Figure 1 , which consists of two TIAs for converting a photodiode''s current to a differ-ential output voltage. Additionally, these amplifiers have

The Transimpedance Amplifier Circuit : 4 Steps

To find a circuit law, we will need to track where the current is going. As discussed, the induced photocurrent is oriented such that it moves from the negative end of the terminal to the positive end.
