In electronics, a transimpedance amplifier (TIA) is a current to voltage converter, almost exclusively implemented with one or more operational amplifiers (opamps). It's also a common building block that helps explain the performance and stability limits of many other op-amp circuits. At its simplest, it's an operational amplifier with a feedback resistor, and the output voltage follows Ohm's law: V_out = I × R_F, where I is the input current and R_F is the feedback.

However, when considering higher frequency effects, it would be wrong to assume the input impedance remains zero at higher frequencies because it actually rises drastically. When a large impedance is combined with even a tiny amount of capacitance, the result is a large τ...See more on ultimateelectronicsbook analog
