The invention discloses an analog fast
automatic gain control circuit for a
transimpedance amplifier, which belongs to the field of
optical communication transimpedance amplifiers, and adopts the technical scheme that a
gain compensation unit is introduced into a
feedback loop, the analog fast
automatic gain control circuit comprises an
operational amplifier A2, a
resistor R2, an MOS (
Metal Oxide Semiconductor) tube M1, an MOS tube M2, a
resistor R1, a
current source, an MOS tube M3, a
resistor R3 and a
capacitor C2, the equivalent resistance of the MOS tube M1 is reduced when the MOS tube M1 works in a
linear region, and the equivalent resistance of the MOS tube M2 is reduced when the MOS tube M2 works in a
linear region; under the synergistic effect of the source
negative feedback circuit, the
transconductance reduction of the controlled
gain adjusting element is compensated, so that the open-
loop gain stability of an
automatic gain control loop is maintained; according to the scheme, the problem that the
response time is inconsistent when the amplitude of the input
signal is changed in the traditional analog automatic
gain control is solved, the loop
response time is consistent under different input amplitudes, the design upper limit of the circuit response speed is remarkably improved, meanwhile, the defect that the output amplitude is suddenly changed when a digital gain control scheme is switched is avoided, and the
circuit reliability is improved. And the output stability and the high-speed performance are ensured.
