    摘要: A low voltage constant transconductance input stage is achieved with relatively simple design methodology. The approach uses current-mode techniques and is based upon the processing of signal currents, rather than handling the bias currents of input stages. Such an approach becomes universal and independent of the input stage transistor types (FET or bipolar) and their operating regions. Further, the arrangement considerably simplifies the design procedure of low voltage operational amplifiers. MOS and bipolar Op Amp input stages are described wherein almost constant g.sub.m is achieved which is independent of the common mode input voltage ranging from rail-to-rail.

    摘要: A low-noise, low-power complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) integrated circuit common source differential amplifier is disclosed which is capable of amplifying low amplitude cardiac signals such as those produced by atrial depolarization of the heart. The amplifier has a pair of large area p-channel input field-effect transistors (FETs) biased in weak inversion. The amplifier also has active load FETs biased in the nonsaturation (linear) region by means of a varying gate terminal voltage applied by a dynamic bias circuit. The gate terminal voltage is varied to match the temperature dependence of the output conductance of the load FETs to the temperature dependence of the transconductance of the input FETs. The gate terminal voltage also sets a dc bias point which uses the nonlinearity in the load FET output conductance to cancel nonlinearity in the input FET transconductance.

    摘要: The reduction of the power supply voltage of VLSI circuits to 3.3 volts results in a significant loss in input and output swing in traditional CMOS analog circuits. In order to achieve rail-to-rail operation, n-channel and p-channel MOSFETs are placed in parallel so that at least one type of transistors are operating in a high gain region throughout the entire input range. However, circuit characteristics change as transistors turn on and off. A constant transconductance bias means enables the rail-to-rail CMOS differential stage to possess a constant transconductance over the entire common mode voltage range. Significantly, the bias circuit does not require any matching between the transistors of opposite types.

    摘要: A CMOS automatic gain control (AGC) circuit that receives an analog control voltage and generates a temperature compensated gain voltage to linearly control the gain of a variable gain circuit operating in the sub-threshold region. A PTAT circuit having a resistor network coupled to a current mirror circuit operating in the sub-threshold region establishes a current having an proportional relationship to temperature. This current is used as a supply for a voltage to voltage converter circuit which generates an intermediate voltage in response to the analog control voltage. A linearizing circuit operating in the sub-threshold region pre-conditions the intermediate voltage, which is then applied to a variable gain circuit. The variable gain circuit is operated in the sub-threshold region, and the preconditioned intermediate voltage will control the amount of gain to be substantially linear with respect to the analog control voltage, and with a range of about 85 dB.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for an ultra-high sensitivity, low cost, passive (no battery) low-power energy harvesting data transmitting circuit energy, such as a RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) tag integrated circuit “chip.” By using combinations of special purpose design enhancements, the low-power energy harvesting passive data transmitting circuit, such as the RFID tag chip, operates in the sub-microwatt power range. The chip power should be derived from a low-microwatt per square centimeter RF field radiated to the RFID tag antenna from the tag reader (interrogator) or derived from a suitable low signal source, such as a sonic transducer (e.g., a piezoelectric transducer or a low level DC source, such as a bimetallic or chemical source).
