A high-speed transimpedance amplifier with bandwidth extension feature over full temperature range and bandwidth extension method belong to the field of integrated circuit. The present invention solves the problem existed in boosting core amplifier bandwidth technology over full temperature range. The present invention includes a preamplifier TIA, a phase splitting stage PS, a pre-driver stage Pre-Drive, an output buffer BUFF and an offset cancelation circuit OC. The preamplifier TIA adopts the gate-drain voltage cancelation technology to expand the bandwidth, so that its −3 dB bandwidth is greater than twice the closed-loop bandwidth of the first-order TIA. The pre-driver stage Pre-Drive is used to drive the output buffer BUFF. By adjusting the source-level negative feedback capacitance value of the pre-driver stage Pre-Drive circuit to generate a high-frequency gain that varies with temperature, the preamplifier TIA bandwidth differences under different temperature conditions are compensated.

The comparator is configured to compare the first signal to the second signal and generate a comparison signal (COMP), wherein in the event of amplifier instability the comparison signal comprises a characteristic indicative of amplifier instability.
