摘要:
A fully differential, CMOS, operational power amplifier, particularly useful as output buffer in monolithic analog subsystems, includes an input differential stage, two gain stages and two output stages. Each output stage may be individually provided with a functional feedback loop and locally compensated for reestablishing sufficient stability. An output common mode control circuit, operable in a continuous or sampled manner, is also contemplated, as well as a special circuit for controlling the DC biasing current through the output stages under rest conditions. The amplifier may be used indifferently as a balanced (differential) output or as a single-ended output amplifier without any depression of its performances.

The sampled-data band-pass filter device is based on the phenomemon of aliasing, and allows the substantially unattenuated passage of the components of an input signal at a frequency included within an interval comprised between a first frequency (f.sub.sL) and a second frequency (f.sub.sH), arranged around a third frequency (f.sub.sO), while it substantially attenuates the components of the input signal at frequencies outside said interval, and furthermore automatically performs the shift to low-frequency, around a fourth frequency (f.sub.O), of the components of the input signal which have passed without attenuation. According to the invention, the device comprises, as filter element, a sampled-data band-pass filter which employs, as sampling frequency, a fifth frequency (f.sub.s) equal to a whole submultiple of a sixth frequency (nf.sub.s) equal to the sum of the third frequency (f.sub.sO) and the fourth frequency (f.sub.O), having, as lower and upper cutoff frequencies, respectively the difference between the sixth frequency and the second frequency (nf.sub.s -f.sub.sH) and the difference between the sixth frequency and the first frequency (nf.sub.s -f.sub.sL).

A method of reconstructing an analog signal, particularly for digital telephony, comprises a first step of digital-to-analog conversion, wherein a first reconstruction of the analog signal is provided by introducing a distortion component into the frequency spectrum whose amplitude decreases with the signal frequency, and a second step of filtering carried out by means of a reconstruction filter provided with integrators and having a cut-off frequency F.sub.t. That attenuating distortion component is utilized instead of one of the integrators in the reconstruction filter, to afford a reduction of the overall design of the circuit device operating in accordance with this method, and bring about, as a result, decreased occupation of the integrated circuit and power dissipation.

A charge redistribution analog-to-digital converter is described that permits their ncorporation of offset voltage correction to provide an accurate reflection in the digitalized output signal of the analog input signal. In a distributed capacitor successive approximation device, additional capacitors are added both to a most significant bit array group of capacitors and to a least significant array group of capacitors that are used in conjunction with the offset voltage. The value of the offset voltage is stored in a register and the register determines various switch positions that determine the value of the offset voltage incorporated in the final output voltage.

A CMOS output stage with large voltage swing particularly suited for output buffers in monolithic analog subsystems has two, push-pull connected, complementary MOS transistors and has feedback for improving its swing and linearity characteristics in comparison with those of the output stages without feedback of the prior art and also has sufficient stability characteristics which are re-established by local compensation. Furthermore the quiescent current is stabilized by a dedicated control circuit cooperating with a local feedback circuit.

The circuit of a two-stage fully differential amplifier includes a differential input stage, two output stages and a common mode feedback circuit coupled to the output nodes of the amplifier. The amplifier also includes a non-inverting stage coupled to a respective output node of the differential input stage for driving the respective output stage. Each auxiliary non-inverting stage of the two branches of the fully differential amplifier uses as a biasing current generator, the load device of the branch of the differential input stage to the output of which the non-inverting stage is coupled. The fully differential amplifier permits the use of a null-consumption common mode feedback circuit as normally employed only in a single stage fully differential amplifier.

The circuit includes a filter to which an analog signal is applied, a quantizer driven by the filter, a sampler at a desired frequency driven by the quantizer and a PCM encoder driven by the sampler. The quantizer generates a quantize signal according to the received analog signal and further generates a difference signal according to the difference between a quantized signal and the analog signal. A feedback circuit feeds back the difference signal from the quantizer to a stage of the filter so that the overall transfer function from the input of the feedback circuit to the output of the filter is equivalent to a low pass filtering.

A CMOS power operational amplifier with large output voltage swing and high noise rejection is obtained by coupling a folded cascode type differential input stage and an output stage comprising an intermediate signal shifting amplifier and two common source output stages. Constant current generators inject into the drain of grounded gate MOS transistors pairs of said folded cascode type stage and of said intermediate signal shifting amplifier, respectively, a current which is pulled out of the source of the same grounded gate transistors by other constant current generators for increasing the effective transconductance of said grounded gate transistors pairs.
