Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a current-to-voltage signal converter which may operate at an adjusted voltage. The current-to-voltage converter includes a trans-impedance amplifier which converts a current input into a voltage output. The voltage output may operate around an undesirable predetermined voltage, and must therefore be adjusted in order to make it suitable for any downstream signal processing circuitry, such as an ADC. As such, a subtractor circuit is coupled to the output of the trans-impedance amplifier. At the input of the subtractor circuit, a voltage adjustment circuit is employed, to adjust the voltage input to the subtractor circuit. As such, the input to the subtractor is adjusted between a first predetermined voltage threshold and a second predetermined voltage threshold, and the subtractor circuit may therefore be a low-voltage component.
