    摘要: A differential circuit with a function to compensate unevenness observed in the differential gain thereof is disclosed. The differential circuit provides a low-pass filter in one of the paired transistors not receiving the input signal in addition to another low-pass filter that provides an average of output signals as a reference level of the differential circuit. The cut-off frequency of the filter is preferably set to be equal to the transition frequency at which the self-heating effect explicitly influences the trans-conductance of the transistor.

    摘要: A photodetecting device 1 includes a photodiode PD and an integrating circuit 11. The integrating circuit 11 includes an amplifier circuit 20, a capacitive element C2, and a second switch SW2. The amplifier circuit 20 has a driving section including a PMOS transistor T1 and an NMOS transistor T2, the respective drain terminals thereof being connected to each other. A first switch SW1 comprising a PMOS transistor T10 is opened or closed according to the level of a first reset signal Reset1 input to the gate terminal. When the first reset signal Reset1 is at a low level, the first switch SW1 is closed to apply a power supply potential VDD to the gate terminal of the PMOS transistor T1, thereby turning off the PMOS transistor T1. Thus, an amplifier circuit, an integrating circuit and a photodetecting device capable of achieving both low power consumption and high speed can be realized.

    摘要: Techniques for designing a highly differential single-ended-to-differential converter for use in, e.g., communications receivers. In an exemplary embodiment, an auxiliary current path including cascomp transistors is coupled to a main current path including input transistors and cascode transistors. The transistors are biased such that inter-modulation products generated by the auxiliary current path cancel out inter-modulation products generated by the main current path. In another exemplary embodiment, current source transistors for the main current path are adaptively biased depending on the level of the input signal received. In an exemplary embodiment, the techniques may be applied to designing a converter for interfacing a single-ended low-noise amplifier (LNA) output voltage with a differential mixer input in a communications receiver.

    摘要: A differential amplifier showing a suppressed output offset is disclosed. The differential amplifier includes a pair of differential transistors, a pair of cascode transistors, and a reference generator. One of differential transistors receives an AC signal, while, the other of differential transistors receives an average voltage of the AC signal. The reference generator receives the average voltage of the AC signal and outputs a bias commonly provided to the cascode transistor. The bias is raised by a substantially constant level from the average voltage, which compensates the output offset of the differential amplifier.

    摘要: The present invention is intended to attain simplified circuit configuration and low current consumption in a discrete time amplifier circuit and an AD converter, to improve the convergence from the transient response state to the steady state of the amplifier circuit and to reduce noise and distortion owing to the variation in the output common-mode voltage. The discrete time amplifier circuit and the AD converter are provided with a switched-capacitor common-mode feedback (CMFB) circuit capable of detecting and feeding back the output common-mode voltage at every sampling timing in the case that the circuit operates at double sampling timing (every ½ cycle).

    摘要: Exemplary embodiments of the disclosure include adaptively generating a bias current for a switched-capacitor circuit. An exemplary apparatus includes a first phase signal and a second phase signal operating at a sampling rate. An asserted time of the first phase signal and an asserted time of the second phase signal are separated by a predefined non-overlap time. The apparatus also includes a switched-capacitor circuit with a plurality of switched capacitors operably coupled to the first phase signal and the second phase signal. An amplifier is operably coupled to the switched-capacitor circuit and has a response time inversely proportional to an adaptive bias current. A bias generator is coupled to the amplifier and operates to modify the adaptive bias current responsive to the asserted time of the first phase signal.
