    Abstract: A sensor circuit includes a sensor array. The sensor array includes a sensor row that includes a first sensor cell, a second sensor cell, and an output stage of a distributed amplifier circuit. The first sensor cell includes a first photodetector, and a first preamplifier stage of the distributed amplifier circuit. The first preamplifier stage is coupled to the first photodetector, and is configured to amplify a signal received from the first photodetector. The second sensor cell includes a second photodetector, and a second preamplifier stage of the distributed amplifier circuit. The second preamplifier stage is coupled to the second photodetector, and is configured to amplify a signal received from the second photodetector. The output stage of the distributed amplifier circuit is coupled to the first and second sensor cells, and is configured to amplify a signal received from the first preamplifier stage and the second preamplifier stage.
