    9 of 10 6. Circuit description the transimpedence amplifier consists of opamps u1, u2 and gain resistor r7 (r3 for sr555). Input current coming through j1 and r1 will pass through r7 and sink to the output node of u2. A corresponding voltage will be present at tp1. The bias voltage signal from j2 is...
