The differential amplifier circuit includes a bias circuit having a differential amplifier with NMOS transistors (11A, 11B, 12A and 12B) and PMOS transistors (13A and 13B). Sources of NMOS transistors (11A)and (11B) are commonly grounded. A bias voltage (VB1) is supplied to gates of the NMOS transistors (11A) and (11B). Drains of the NMOS transistors (11A) and (11B) are connected to sources of NMOS transistors (12A) and (12B), respectively. A gate and a drain of the NMOS transistor (12A) are short-circuited to each other with the drain connected to a drain of a PMOS transistor (13A). A bias voltage (VB4) is applied to a gate of the NMOS transistor (12B). A drain of the NMOS transistor (12B) is connected to a drain of the PMOS transistor (13B) whose gate and drain are shared by each other. Gates of the PMOS transistors (13A) and (13B) are connected to a bias terminal (72) while sources of the PMOS transistors (13A) and (13B) are commonly connected to a power source. The bias terminal (72) is connected to an input bias terminal of a differential amplifier.

An A/D converter includes a resistor network generating a reference voltage, a level detector for detecting the level of an input analogue signal with a reference voltage from the resistor network as a reference, and an encoder for providing a digital signal by encoding the output of the level detector. The level detector includes a plurality of comparators for bilevel-processing the input analogue signal with a preselected voltage from the resistor connection nodes of the resistor network as a reference voltage. The resistor network comprises a plurality of resistor elements between a first node receiving a first reference voltage and a second node receiving a second reference voltage, which are interconnected to provide a voltage from an associated connection node that is 1/2.sup.j times the difference between said first reference voltage and said second reference voltage. The comparator includes capacitors for providing the difference between the input analogue signal and the reference voltage by a capacitor coupling, and an inverter amplifier for determining the positive or negative of the voltage change generated by the capacitors. This structure implements an A/D converter of high precision with less elements.

An improved parallel-type A/D converter is disclosed, which includes encoder 3 constituted by a pseudo-NMOS type ROM, and encoder 28 constituted by a pseudo-PMOS type ROM. These encoders are connected to the outputs of pre-encoder 2. Averaging circuit 29 receives binary data provided from two encoders to provide average value data of these as converted binary output data. Even in case of multi-addressing, an averaging circuit can provide correct data as converted data. As a result, an A/D converter which is not affected by noise or the like has been obtained.
摘要:
A voltage generating circuit, in which the influence of offset of an amplifier on an output voltage is reduced, has first and second bipolar transistors (Q1, Q2) having emitter terminals at the same electric potential. A base terminal of Q1 is disposed on a collector side of Q2. A first resistance element connects the collector side of Q2 with the base side of Q2; and a second resistance element (R1) connects a collector side of Q1 to R2. A third resistance element (R3) connects a base terminal of Q2 with the electric potential of the emitter terminals. An amplifier (A1) outputs a voltage based on a voltage difference between the collector sides of Q1 and Q2; and a voltage-current converting section (MP1, MP2) converts amplifier output into a current supplied to the connection node of R1 and R2. A voltage is then output on the basis of the generated current.
摘要:
A current source block and a negative resistance generation block are connected in parallel. The negative resistance generation block generates a negative resistance in response to the minute variations of an output voltage. Thus the output resistance of a current source circuit is given by the combined resistance of the negative resistance and the resistance of a resistor in the current source block connected in parallel. The resistance of the resistor in the current source block and the negative resistance are controlled to be substantially the same to thereby increase the output resistance of the current source circuit. The current source circuit serves to increase an output resistance when viewed from an differential output terminal. As a result, use of this current source circuit realizes a differential amplifier providing a high gain.

A successive approximation A/D converter includes first and second S/H and comparators sampling and holding first and second external analog input voltages simultaneously and comparing the held, first and second external analog input voltages with a reference voltage to output first and second signals having levels corresponding to resultant comparisons, and a reference voltage generator operative in response to the first and second signals to generate the reference voltage. The two S/H and comparators share the single reference voltage generator. A reduced chip area can be achieved.

A current driven D/A converter sets an OFF control voltage (BIAS3) for turning off NMOS transistors M12P, M12N, M22P, M22N, M32P and M32N at a voltage close to an ON control voltage (BIAS2). This makes it possible to reduce the swing of the control voltage (ON control voltage—OFF control voltage) of the NMOS transistors, and hence to reduce the noise due to charge injections through parasitic capacitances, and noise of a ground voltage or power supply voltage due to flowing of discharge currents from the parasitic capacitances to the ground or power supply at turn off of the transistors, thereby being able to offer a high performance current driven D/A converter.

A current generator (CG) is composed of a constant-current-source transistor M1, and transistors (M2, M3). On receipt of control signals (VG2, VG3) respectively from a driver circuit (not shown), the transistors (M2, M3) complementarily operate to function as current switches. Then, damping resistance (R3) is provided between the drain electrode of the transistor (M3) and an output terminal ({overscore (IT)}). The output terminal ({overscore (IT)}) is connected to a ground (GND), while an output terminal (IT) is grounded via an external terminal (R2). Such a structure allows a semiconductor integrated circuit device to reduce its output ringing and further to suppress imperfections resulting from the adoption of the structure to reduce the ringing.
