摘要:
A floating, balanced output stage maintains control of the common-mode output current in both output legs even when the differential voltage output is clipped. The circuit includes a pair of transconductance amplifier section (gm1) for providing a differential pair of output currents in response to the input voltage (Vin); an intermediate section (2-5) connected so as to generate an intermediate differential output voltage (V1, V2), across two outputs of the intermediate section, in response to the pair of output currents of the first transconductance amplifier; an output section (R5-R8) for generating the differential output voltage (Vout+, Vout-) in response to the pair of voltages generated by the intermediate section; a differential feedback loop configuration (R3, R4) connected around the first transconductance amplifier and the intermediate section so as to provide differential negative feedback in response to the intermediate differential output voltage generated by the intermediate section; and a common-mode feedback loop comprising a second transconductance amplifier section (gm2) connected around the intermediate section so as to respectively add a pair of substantially matched output currents to the output currents of the first transconductance amplifier in response to the common-mode current.

A classical differential amplifier (100) provides output of unequal magnitude due to its emitter resistance being finite. In order to equalize its output, a voltage follower circuit (200, 300) is associated with each of the inputs of the differential amplifier. The output of each voltage follower circuit is converted to current (202, 302) and subtracted (400, 500) from one of the outputs of the differential amplifier. Subtracting the outputs results in a differential amplifier with both outputs being substantially equal.

A tiny, pre-amplifier for a small, low voltage, high impedance source (14), usually an electret microphone, exhibiting near unity gain, has an input cascode stage (16) connected to the microphone and a matched balancing cascode stage (19); both cascode stages are energized from the same power supply circuit (11). The two cascode stages supply intermediate signals to the input (17, 21) of a differential amplifier (18) to generate an output signal having a greatly reduced noise content, independent of power supply variations. The pre-amplifier is wholly integrateable, has low power drain, and fits into the microphone housing.

Bei Verstärkern mit symmetrisch aufgebauter Differenzverstärker-Eingangsstufe kann durch einen Ruhestrom über einen mit einem der beiden Eingänge verbundenen Vorwiderstand (8) ein Eingangsspannungs-Offset auftreten. Dieser Eingangsspannungs-Offset kann, insbesondere bei integrierten Schaltungen, dadurch verringert bzw. kompensiert werden, daß ein Transistor des Zweiges der Differenzverstärker-Eingangsstufe, mit dem der Vorwiderstand verbunden ist, eine größere Emitterfläche erhält als der entsprechende Transistor des anderen Zweiges.
摘要:
A balanced differential transimpedance amplifier with a single-ended input operational over a wide variation in the dynamic range of input signals. A threshold circuit is employed to either or a combination of (1) generate a varying decision threshold to ensure a proper slicing over a wide range of input current signal levels; and (2) generate a bias current and voltage applied to an input of a transimpedance stage to cancel out a dependence of the transimpedance stage voltage input on input current signal levels.

摘要:
A differential amplifier circuit is provided with a precision action load consisting of primary and secondary transistor load circuits. The primary circuit (40, 46) provides primary load currents to the amplifier branches (2, 4) which are mutually unbalanced by an amount which is proportional to the inverse of the first and second power of transistor current gain, while the secondary circuit (54, 56) provides a balancing current to one of the amplifier branches which also has components proportional to the inverse of the first and second power of transistor current gain. The primary and secondary load circuits include junction transistors which are matched with each other and provide balanced multi-junction paths between the amplifier branches and a voltage supply (20), clamping the branch voltages in mutual balance. The resulting input voltage offset is reduced to a function of the inverse of the third power of transistor current gain, without sacrificing amplifier gain, bandwidth or simplicity.
