An improved image sensor constructed from a photodiode and a transimpedance amplifier having an input connected to the photodiode. The present invention utilizes a clamping circuit to prevent the potential at the input of the transimpedance amplifier from causing the photodiode to become forward biased. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the transimpedance amplifier includes a transistor connecting the input to the output, and the clamping circuit includes a circuit for holding the gate of the transistor at a clamping potential.
