A class-AB MOS output stage that provides higher gain and significantly lower distortion. The class-AB MOS output stage includes a PMOS output transistor and an NMOS output transistor coupled between positive and negative supply voltages such that the MOS output transistors operate in a common source mode, a first biased class-AB control circuit coupled between the output transistor gates, a first current source coupled between the gate of the PMOS output transistor and the positive supply, a second biased class-AB control circuit, and a second current source coupled between the second control circuit and the positive supply. The second class-AB control circuit is coupled between the second current source and a non-inverting input of the output stage. The gate of the NMOS output transistor is employed as the inverting input of the output stage, which further includes two differential amplifiers for controlling the first and second current sources. The class-AB MOS output stage has a fully symmetrical differential input-to-single-ended output circuit configuration, which allows corresponding sources of gain reduction and non-linearity to cancel out, thereby improving the performance of the output stage.

A differential-type data transmitter includes a differential amplifier pair (T1, T2, T4, T6, T8) having a plurality of transistors and receiving a pair of a first input signal and a second input signal. A load (T3, T5, T7) is connected to the differential amplifier pair. A detection circuit (T9, T10, I4, I5, I6, I7) connected to a junction between the differential amplifier pair and the load is operative for detecting whether or not the first and second input signals are outside a common-mode input voltage range with respect to the differential amplifier pair. A first output circuit (T12) connected to the detection circuit is operative for outputting a signal depending on an output signal from the differential amplifier pair. The signal outputted from the first output circuit is set to a given level when the detection circuit detects that the first and second input signals are outside the conmmon-mode input voltage range. A second output circuit (T11) connected to the detection circuit is operative for outputting a detection signal representing whether or not the detection circuit detects that the first and second input signals are outside the common-mode input voltage range.

摘要:
A fully differential operational amplifier with improved common mode circuitry for low supply voltage applications is disclosed. The amplifier includes inventing and non-inventing inputs and dual-ended invented and non-invented outputs. The amplifier also includes source transistors for pulling the output to obtain particular output voltage swing. Connections between the inputs and outputs include DC biasing circuitry. The amplifier includes a transistor of select size and characteristics to compensate for voltage drop due to other transistors of the amplifier. Common mode circuitry of the amplifier provides a high level of common mode reconstruction.
