Hello guys.. I want to design a trans-impedance amplifier to detect currents of the APD (in the range of 200 nA to 100 micro A). Could some one suggest me the best IC with less bias current, single supply (+5 V only) and how to design a high sensitive TIA..? (typically, for every 100 nA change in the current, 100 mV voltage should be displayed).
Need help to design a transimpedance amplifier

Well I don't have access to Phil Hobbs' book.. And whatever the maximum current I can detect upto 5V ...that is fine... But I am worrying about how to choose the suitable opamp and design parameters....

(On a more basic level than Phil's book.) To the OP the next question is how much speed /BW you need? (and what's the input C of your APD?) George H.

What is the photodiode bias voltage? What is the photodiode capacitance? Here's Phil's appnote on low-noise TIA's. There's more in his book. http://electrooptical.net/www/frontends/frontends.pdf -- John Larkin Highland Technology, Inc lunatic fringe electronics

(typically, for every 100 nA change in the current, 100 mV voltage should be displayed).Well....Bandwidth required is 1 MHz.. APD biasing voltage is 26-30V. Photodiode capacitance is 5pF

So 1 Meg ohm*10 pF = 10^-5 sec, ~10^4 Hz (2*pi =~ 10) You'll need about a 100MHz GBW opamp. piglet's suggestion look good. George H.
