Abstract:
An apparatus includes a transmission gate configured to generate a signal based on a first differential input signal and a second differential input signal. The apparatus further includes biasing circuitry responsive to the transmission gate and configured to output a bias voltage based on the signal.
Abstract:
An amplifier with improved noise reduction is disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment, an apparatus includes at least one capacitor configured to receive an adjustable current and generate a corresponding ramp voltage configured to control coupling between a main amplifier output and a secondary amplifier output. The apparatus also includes at least one comparator configured to adjust the adjustable current to generate the ramp voltage with selected ramp-up or ramp-down voltage characteristics.
