    摘要: An amplifier of differential type such as a comparator or operational amplifier has two input terminals (1, 3) which are formed by the base terminals of input, amplifying transistors (T1, T2) of for example npn-type. The collectors of the input transistors are connected to some supply voltage (VCC) through for example a current mirror circuit (T4, T5). The emitters of the input transistors are through a transistor (T3) connected as a current generator connected to another supply voltage (VEE) close to ground potential. The base-emitter-junction in the input transistors are protected by protective transistors (T6, T7) which are connected as diodes, the emitters and bases of which are connected to each other. The effective pn-junction in the protective transistors is then the junction between the base and collector which normally has a larger breakthrough voltage then the pn-junction between the base and emitter. A protection of the input terminals of the amplifier is thereby obtained which can in a simple way be accomplished in for example integrated circuits. Then, the protective transistors are made in substantially the same way as the input transistors and have substantially the same electrical properties as they.

    摘要: A charge pump CMOS circuit comprises a differential input stage with two parallel circuit branches. Each of the parallel circuit branches has a diode-connected MOS transistor connected in series with a complementary input MOS transistor. There is a common tail current source for both circuit branches. The diode-connected MOS transistors each have their gate/drain node connected to corresponding current sources. The charge pump CMOS circuit is suitable for use in an oscillator.

    摘要: A receiver (10) for a wireless telecommunications system that provides relatively wideband signal processing of received signals without increased signal distortion so that multiple received signals can be simultaneously processed. The receiver (10) includes a specialized LNA (16), frequency down-converter (18) and ADC (20) to perform the wideband signal processing while maintaining receiver performance. The frequency down-converter (18) employs a suitable mixer (28), BPA (32), attenuator (34), and transformer (36) that are tuned to provide the desired frequency down-conversion and amplitude control over the desired wideband. The down-converter devices are selected depending on the particular performance criteria of the ADC (20). A specialized digital channelizer (22) is included in the receiver (10) that receives the digital signal from the ADC (20), and separates the signals into the multiple channels. In one embodiment, the frequency down-conversion is performed in a single down-conversion process, and the ADC (20) employs delta-sigma processing to provide digital conversion over the complete frequency band. In an alternate embodiment, the frequency down-conversion is performed in a double down-conversion process so that a less complex ADC (62) can be used.
