摘要:
A differential amplifier circuit including a quadritail circuit and a differential pair of transistors. The quadritail circuit has a first pair of first and second MOS transistors, a second pair of third and fourth MOS transistors, and a constant current source for driving the first and second pairs. The differential pair is composed of fifth and sixth MOS transistors and driven by an output current of the quadritail circuit. An input voltage is applied between the gates of the first and second transistors and between the gates of the fifth and sixth transistors. A DC voltage is applied to the common-connected gates of the third and fourth transistors. An output current is derived from an output end of the differential pair. The transconductance linearity of the differential amplifier circuit can be improved.

Embodiments include systems and methods for accurately controlling gain of a high-speed variable-gain amplifier (VGA) without adversely impacting bandwidth performance. Embodiments include a VGA with a variable resistor, for which resistance is a function of a control level. A gain calibration system controls the control level by using a gain control feedback subsystem to sample outputs of a duplicate VGA, which includes a duplicate variable resistor. The sampled duplicate outputs are compared to a target gain generated by a reference generator. The control level can be fed back to control the gain of the duplicate VGA until the target gain is reached. The control level can also be fed to the actual VGA to control its gain. By performing gain control on the duplicate VGA without interfering with the output signal path of the actual VGA, the actual VGA's gain can be accurately controlled without impacting its bandwidth.

A differential circuit with a function to compensate the gain enhancement due to the self-heating of the transistor is disclosed. The differential circuit includes an equalizer unit coupled with one of paired transistors. The other of the paired transistor receives the input signal to be amplified. The base level, or the base-emitter bias, is oppositely modulated by the input signal through the common emitter, which causes the modification of the base current. The equalizer unit reduces the variation of the base level only in low frequencies where the self-heating effect of the transistor appears.

An implantable apparatus for sensing biological signals from an animal includes at least two electrodes disposed at locations to sense the biological signals. The electrode locations may be internal or external to the animal. Insulated conductors couple the electrodes via a passive network of filters to an instrumentation amplifier that has an internal voltage reference. Thus a sensed biological signal is filtered and amplified to provide an amplified differential signal. A signal analysis module processes amplified differential signal to determine at least one physiological parameter of the animal. The signal analysis module may include a first derivative zero detector for signal transition detection and feature detection and analysis. The apparatus may also comprise a signal presentation module to display amplified signals and physiological parameters associated with those signals.

A differential amplification circuit includes a differential amplifier and common mode control circuitry configured to control output common mode of the differential amplifier. However, this control circuitry does not use feedback. The circuitry controls the output common mode in either, or in a combination of two ways, neither of which employs feedback from the output common mode. One control technique uses a dummy circuit and comparator to cancel out the effect of variations in process, temperature and supply voltage on output common mode. Another control technique measures input common mode voltage, compares the measured common mode to a reference, and based on the difference, applies a current to the output that compensates for the variation in output common mode that a given input common mode would otherwise cause.
