    摘要: Variable gain amplifiers offering high frequency response with improved linearity and reduced power dissipation are provided. An amplifier is disclosed that is constructed from a one-stage topology with multiple signal paths and compensation networks for improved linearity and stable operation. In this amplifier, improved performance is obtained by replacing single transistor components with enhanced active devices which incorporate local negative feedback. One embodiment of the invention is a transconductance enhancement circuit that improves transconductance and input impedance relative to the prior art. A further development is an enhanced active cascode circuit that provides improved linearity. A high frequency bipolar transistor switch is also disclosed that incorporates lateral PNP transistors as high frequency switches with improved OFF-state to ON-state impedance ratio to realize a variable gain function. These circuits are combined in an amplifier circuit that provides variable gain and high frequency performance, with improved linearity, gain, and input impedance.

    摘要: An all NPN transistor level-shifting differential amplifier has first and second identical amplifier halves, in which each amplifier half includes a passive voltage-shifting network coupled between a load and a current source. A main amplifier has a single-ended voltage input and an output coupled to the first node of the voltage shifting network. An output amplifier has a single-ended current output and an input coupled to the second node of the voltage shifting network. The main amplifier and output amplifiers are coupled together such that a portion of the bias and signal currents flowing through the output amplifier is reused and flows through the main amplifier, reducing bias current and power requirements. The first and second amplifier halves are coupled together with a gain-setting emitter resistor. In addition to reducing the power requirements of the amplifier, the feedback configuration of the level-shifting amplifier also increases linearity over prior art level-shifting amplifiers.
