    摘要: A current mirror includes first and second transistors having current paths coupled to an input current line. The current paths for the first and second transistors are referenced to ground via respective first and second resistors having resistance values twice a first resistance value. The first transistor is diode connected. A third transistor has a current path coupled to an output current line and referenced to ground via a third resistor having a second resistance value equal to the first resistance value divided by a mirror factor. Control terminals of the first and third transistors are coupled together, and further coupled to a control terminal of the second transistor through a coupling resistor. A first capacitor is coupled between ground and the control terminal of the second transistor unit. A second capacitor is coupled between ground and the current path through the third transistor.

    摘要: A bandgap circuit includes a supply node as well as a first and second bipolar transistors having jointly coupled base terminal at a bandgap node providing a bandgap voltage. First and second current generators are coupled to the supply node and supply mirrored first and second currents, respectively, to first and second circuit nodes. A third circuit node is coupled to the first bipolar transistor via a first resistor and coupled to ground via a second resistor, respectively. The third circuit node is also coupled to the second bipolar transistor so that the second resistor is traversed by a current which is the sum of the currents through the bipolar transistors. A decoupling stage intermediate the current generators and the bipolar transistors includes first and second cascode decoupling transistors having jointly coupled control terminals receiving a bias voltage sensitive to the bandgap voltage.

    摘要: An amplifier circuit, for a capacitive acoustic transducer defining a sensing capacitor that generates a sensing signal as a function of an acoustic signal, has a first input terminal and a second input terminal, which are coupled to the sensing capacitor and: a dummy capacitor, which has a capacitance corresponding to a capacitance at rest of the sensing capacitor and a first terminal connected to the first input terminal; a first amplifier, which is coupled at input to the second input terminal and defines a first differential output of the circuit; a second amplifier, which is coupled at input to a second terminal of the dummy capacitor and defines a second differential output of the circuit; and a feedback stage, which is coupled between the differential outputs and the first input terminal, for feeding back onto the first input terminal a feedback signal, which has an amplitude that is a function of the sensing signal and is in phase opposition with respect thereto.
