Abstract: A very low power frontend circuit using the compensating common-gate scheme is described. It combines features of the regular common-gate topology and the trans-impedance amplifier (TIA) schemes allowing designers to achieve low input impedance and sufficient bandwidth with small power consumption. It can be used as an interface between detectors and the pseudo-thyristors we developed to complete a full frontend signal chain. Simulation shows that in a 65 nm process, it is possible to achieve an input impedance <1K Ohms allowing a charge detection <6fC with 3pF parasitic capacitance, using static power below 20 micro-Watts/channel.
