Abstract

See full text

A transimpedance amplifier circuit (1) includes an amplifier (22) that amplifies a received signal, an automatic gain control (AGC) circuit (2) that controls the amplification gain of the amplifier by a first time constant in accordance with the level of the received signal, and a first selection circuit (25) that selects the first time constant from a plurality of predetermined values. This can simultaneously implement a short time constant of an AGC function necessary to instantaneously respond to a burst signal and a long time constant of the AGC function necessary to obtain a satisfactory bit error rate (BER) characteristic in a continuous signal by an inexpensive and compact circuit arrangement.
