A low‐noise, wide‐bandwidth DNA readout instrument for nanopore applications is presented. Owing to hardware simplicity and reliability, a resistive‐feedback transimpedance amplifier ( rf ‐TIA) is adopted as the headstage for the readout instrument. However, to achieve a high gain and low input noise, its high feedback resistance induces a high parasitic capacitance, thus significantly limiting the 3 dB bandwidth. To drastically reduce the parasitic capacitance and widen the bandwidth, a novel rf ‐TIA architecture is fabricated that utilises a split‐resistor technique for the high feedback resistor. This is demonstrated in a benchtop test employing an α‐haemolysin nanopore.
