A method and apparatus for controlling the common mode impedance misbalnce of an isolated single-ended circuit for all common mode paths, thereby allowing the balancing of the common mode impedances which reduces common mode effects while maintaining the advantages of the single-ended amplifier including circuit simplicity and the reference input connected to circuit ground. In one embodiment, two solid shields enclose the circuit as completely as possible with the inner shield connected to circuit ground which is also the reference for all other inputs to the circuit. A discrete capacitor is connected between the outer shield and each of the non-reference inputs. When the shield is complete, i.e., solid, almost solid with minimal holes or a fine mesh, the value of the discrete capacitor is selected to match the parasitic capacitance formed between the outer shield and the inner shield. In another embodiment, the shield may be incomplete, i.e., a grid, coarse mesh or a solid shield only enclosing a portion of the circuit; this shield is connected to the non-reference input of the circuit. In this case, the exposures of the incomplete outer shield and the electronic circuit ground plane (or inner shield) to an external noise source are matched to balance the effect of their parasitic capacitances. Also, in the case of an incomplete shield, a discrete capacitor may be connected between the outer shield and the non-reference input of the circuit to enable balancing the impedances to common mode currents.

A balanced type DDA 1 is combined with a single end type DDA 2 to form a differential amplifier circuit 3 which is a balanced type DDA- The balanced type DDA 1 has four input terminals VPP, VPN, VNN and VNP which are input terminals of two differential input stages, and two output terminals VoutP and VoutN which are output terminals of two output stages. These terminals are four input terminals and two output terminals of the differential amplifier circuit 3. The single end type DDA 2 has four input terminals, which are input terminals of two differential input stages and which are connected to the four input terminals of the differential amplifier circuit 3, respectively. The single end type DDA 2 also has an output terminal vout of one output stage, which serves as a control output terminal for the feedback control of the differential amplifier circuit 3. By the negative feedback of the signal of the control output terminal Vout, a virtual short-circuit can be established between two input terminals of each differential input stages, so that it is possible to reduce distortion without reducing gains.

A low-noise, high gain differential amplifier suitable for EEG amplification is constructed in a shielded metal enclosure. preferably on a ground plane circuit board. The amplifier is battery powered to eliminate all possibility of noise from the power system. The amplifier utilizes a pair of operational amplifiers to provide high input impedence for each of two input signals. A differential amplifier generates an internal signal which is filtered and amplified by a pair of band-pass amplifiers and overlapping low-pass and high-pass amplifiers.

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.

Embodiments of a method for amplifier calibration and an amplifier system are described. In one embodiment, a method for amplifier calibration involves amplifying an input signal using a first amplifier connected between an input terminal and an output terminal to generate an output signal and digitally performing offset calibration on a second amplifier coupled in parallel with the first amplifier between the input terminal and the output terminal while amplifying the input signal using the first amplifier. Other embodiments are also described.

The invention relates to a receiver for a differential bus with a switch control logic (151), with two branches with resistive elements (7, 61...70, 8 and 5, 11...20, 6) and with switches (3, 80) for switching the resistive elements, in which the switch control logic sets the switches - in a first routine for determining the absolute level of signals on the bus by applying a common mode voltage to the bus, by comparing the voltage on a first resistive branch with a reference voltage, by selecting the correct switch settings, and by writing these settings to an internal storage device, - and in a second routine for minimizing the mismatch between the two resistive branches by applying a common mode voltage to the bus, by comparing the voltage of the second resistive branch with that of the already trimmed first resistive branch, by selecting the correct switch settings for the second branch, and by writing these settings to an internal storage device. The receiver therefore provides good balancing and common mode rejection.
摘要:
A balanced transconductor having a pair of voltage inputs and a pair of current outputs comprises a pair of single-ended transconductors, one in each signal path and a cancellation network. The cancellation network cancels at the inputs to the single-ended transconductors a common mode voltage appearing at the voltage inputs so that no common mode output current results. The cancellation network may comprise four half-size single-ended transconductors drawing half the supply current of full-size single-ended transconductors.

Zur Gleichtaktunterdrückung bei einer vorzugsweise mit einer Mehrzahl von Operationsverstärkern (V 1 , V 2 , ... Vn) bestückten Verstärkeranordnung für eine Mehrzahl von zu verarbeitenden Nutzsignalen (E,, E2, ... En), die durch ein größeres Störsignal überlagert sind, ist vorgesehen, die Nutzsignale, beispielsweise physiologische Meßsignale bei EEG-und EKG-Messungen, an positiven Eingängen (+) der Einzelverstärker zuzuführen, während die negativen Eingängen (-) jeweils an den Verbindungspunkt eines aus zwei Widerständen bestehenden Spannungsteilers (R 1 , R 2 ) angeschlossen sind, der jeweils zwischen dem jeweiligen Verstärkerausgang und einem Potential-Bezugspunkt (P) liegt. Dieses Bezugspotential wird durch den Ausgang eines weiteren Operationsverstärkers (V 1 ) festgelegt, an dessen positivem Eingang ein durch das Störsignal überlagertes Bezugsnutzsignal (U E4 ) zugeführt wird, während sein negativer Eingang am Verbindungspunkt eines aus zwei Widerständen bestehenden Spannungsteilers (R 2 ', R,') angeschlossen ist, der zwischen dem Ausgang dieses weiteren Operationsverstärkers und dem Potential-Bezugspunkt (P) liegt. Bei Meßsignalverstärkern, z.B für physiologische Meßsignale, erfolgt damit die Gleichtaktunterdrückung bereits in den Vorverstärkerstufen, so daß separate Differenzstufen zur Störsignalunterdrückung eingespart werden können.
