On the limitations of transimpedance amplifiers as tools for low-frequency noise characterization

An experimental set-up for the characterization of low-frequency noise on two terminal devices is reported. The experimental set-up is based on the use of the commercial transimpedance amplifier (TA) EG&G5182. This paper addresses the influence of the TA on the noise characterization process by...

description An experimental set-up for the characterization of low-frequency noise on two terminal devices is reported. The experimental set-up is based on the use of the commercial transimpedance amplifier (TA) EG&G5182. This paper addresses the influence of the TA on the noise characterization process by describing the TA as a non-ideal operational amplifier with a feedback resistor. The impact of the TA finite input resistance and voltage gain is highlighted through comparison with measurements carried out on resistors and diodes. [Display omitted] •Analysis of the intrinsic limitations of a low-frequency noise experimental set-up.•Analysis of transimpedance amplifiers as tools for noise characterization.•Noise characterization.•Noise modeling.•Guidelines for robust and reliable electrical characterization of noise phenomena.
