Abstract:
A threshold voltage generator for a field-effect transistor, being of a type adapted to compensate for variations of the threshold voltage from a nominal value, comprising a first amplifier having a first input connected to a current generator; a second amplifier connected ahead of a second input of the first amplifier and having an input connected to another current generator; and a third amplifier connected after the first amplifier and having an output adapted to produce the value of said threshold voltage.
Abstract:
The PSRR (power supply rejection ratio) of a current mirror circuit is increased by cascoding the output transistor of the current mirror, and the precision of the circuit is enhanced by employing a frequency compensated gain stage utilizing a field effect transistor to drive a bipolar current output transistor.
Abstract:
A circuit for synthesizing an impedance associated with a telephone subscriber's circuit connected to a two-wire telephone line is described. The circuit of the invention is adapted to synthesize a complex impedance which can function both as a termination impedance and a balance impedance. The termination impedance utilizes a positive feedback loop structure having a loop gain which is at all times less than unity. The circuit that implements both the termination and balance impedances with sidetone suppression is also described. Each of the embodiments is realizable with a single external component consisting of a resistor.
Abstract:
The source is apt to generate a fully-differential reference voltage at the output terminals, whereto precisely-balanced loads are applied. The voltage reference is obtained from a bandgap voltage source fed with currents proportional to the temperature, in order to minimize thermal voltage variations. Suitable circuits for starting the normal source operation after switching on are also provided.
