Abstract:
The present invention relates to a remote control IC having a circuit for pumping up current of an output port and a remote controller implemented to be capable of operating with one battery of about 1.5V using the IC. In the remote controller, an infrared LED emits light through the remote control IC, so that signals are transmitted to devices to be controlled such as a television set. In order to perform all functions normally even at low voltage and particularly to secure a sufficient transmission distance by driving the infrared LED, the present invention implements a remote controller comprising a remote control IC having a circuit for pumping up output current of an output port, which needs high output current, even at low voltage, and a battery of about 1.5V for driving the remote controller, wherein the infrared LED is driven by the pumped up output current of the output port of the remote control IC, whereby the remote controller can maintain a sufficient transmission distance with only one battery of about 1.5V.The output port according to the present invention has an output current pumping circuit for detecting a level of power voltage according to the drop of the power voltage, boosting the power voltage, and supplying a voltage boosted higher than the power voltage to the gate of a MOS transistor to obtain output current of high voltage. The output current pumping circuit comprises a power voltage detection unit for determining a level of the power voltage, a boost circuit unit for boosting the power voltage depending on an effective signal of the power voltage detection unit, and a data conversion unit for receiving the changed (boosted) power voltage and controlling the changed (boosted) power voltage in response to a transmission signal to supply gate voltage of the MOS transistor for outputting final current.The present invention is advantageous in that further higher output current can be obtained at the same power voltage by applying a voltage higher than the power voltage to the gate of the MOS transistor for outputting final current.

Abstract:
A variable-gain amplifier circuit uses a pair of single-ended operational amplifiers to amplify complementary portions of a differential input signal. By using two single-ended amplifiers instead of a single differential amplifier, linearity is significantly improved. In addition, common mode feedback circuitry is eliminated along with harmonic distortion and other forms of noise which tend to negative affect the quality of the signal output from the circuit.
