From the project
Low-noise transimpedance amplifier optimized for the photodiode SFH203.
SFH203 Photodetector =================== This repository contains the KiCad design files for a low-noise photodetector. The detector consists of a standard silicon photodiode (Osram SFH203) in combination with a two-stage low-noise transimpedance amplifier. The PCB is fitted in a small outline case also provided in this repository.
