[0089] In addition, this embodiment also achieves frequency compensation without using compensation capacitors. Specifically, since the first feedforward stage 240 introduces a left half plane zero while improving the core amplifier circuit gain, see formulas (3), (4), and (5) for details. Formulas (3) to (5) are the transfer functions of the core amplifier. At the same time, the second feedforward stage 250 is used to reduce the Q value of the left half plane complex zero introduced by the first feedforward stage 240. At the same frequency, the left half plane complex zero pair with a lower Q value can more effectively offset the phase shift introduced by the pole, thereby improving the phase margin. See formulas (6) and (7) for details. Formula (6) is the Q value of the left half plane complex zero when the second feedforward stage 250 is included, and formula (7) is the Q value of the left half plane complex zero when the second feedforward stage 250 is not included. Therefore, compared with the traditional passive frequency compensation technology, the transimpedance amplifier provided by the present invention can improve the -3-dB bandwidth of the transimpedance amplifier while ensuring circuit stability, thereby improving the measurement accuracy of the laser radar receiver.
