At least two innovations are used to overcome the limitations of conventional transimpedance or high impedance optical receiver front end amplifiers. The innovations are a) multiple stage equalization of a high-feedback resistor, low-gain transimpedance amplifier to obtain high sensitivity, and b) range switching of feedback resistors and equalization capacitors to obtain high overload. With these approaches, it is possible to design an optical receiver operating at the intrinsic limits of available device technology.
