Abstract: Techniques for generating a bias voltage for a class AB amplifier having first and second active transistors. In an exemplary embodiment, a diode-coupled first transistor supports a first current, and the gate voltage of the first transistor is coupled to the gate voltage of the first active transistor. The first current is split into a second current and a first auxiliary current supported by a second transistor, which is biased at a desired common-mode output voltage of the class AB amplifier. The first auxiliary current is further combined with a third current to be supported by a third transistor, with the third transistor configured to replicate the characteristic of the second active transistor. Further techniques are provided for setting the drain voltage of the third transistor to be close to the common-mode output voltage. The techniques described herein may be used to provide a bias voltage for the NMOS and/or PMOS active transistors in a class AB amplifier.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for DC-to-DC conversion are provided. The apparatus is a DC-to-DC converter including a first feedback current control circuit coupled to a first voltage output of the DC-to-DC converter. The first feedback current control circuit is configured to generate a first control current based on a voltage difference between a first reference voltage and the first voltage output of the DC-to-DC converter. The apparatus further includes a constant charge comparator coupled to the first feedback current control circuit and configured to compare an integrated error signal to a threshold to generate a comparison result, the integrated error signal comprising an integration of a first error signal over time, the first error signal based on the first control current.
