Overview

The Gennum® GN1052 is a fully integrated silicon germanium BiCMOS transimpedance amplifier, providing wideband, low noise pre-amplification of signal current from a PIN photodiode or APD.

It features differential outputs. A decoupling capacitor on the supply is the only external component required.
