From the project
Photodiode transimpedance amplifier, on a one inch diameter circular PCB
TIASim can be used to predict gain, noise, and bandwidth using different op-amps, transimpedance-gains, etc. Initial results show that capacitive loading on the MMCX connector, when connecting a coaxial cable to Spectrum Analyzer or Oscilloscope, plays a role. For un-buffered op-amps TIASim predictions agree with measurements when op-amp GBWP is 'de-rated' slightly - probably due to the capacitive load on the output. Latest PCB versions use a buffer/cable-driver BUF602 to isolate the sensitive transimpedance amplifier from output loading.
