    摘要: A circuit that produces a gate drive voltage for a MOS transistor switch includes an input that receives a supply voltage, a regulated voltage generating circuit that produces a regulated voltage, and a voltage storage element. A first switch connects the voltage storage element to sample one of the supply voltage and the regulated voltage during a first of first and second non-overlapping time intervals. The second switch connects the voltage storage element to increase the sampled voltage by another of the supply voltage and the regulated voltage to the gate drive voltage during the second non-overlapping time interval. A third switch connects the voltage storage element to provide the gate drive voltage to the MOS transistor switch during the second non-overlapping time interval. The regulated voltage generating circuit produces the regulated voltage such that a high level of the gate drive voltage exceeds the supply voltage yet is maintained less than a breakdown voltage of the MOS transistor switch.

    摘要: A circuit that produces a gate drive voltage for a MOS transistor switch, that receives an input voltage "on" a source terminal, includes a first input that receives the input voltage, a second input that receives a bias voltage, and a voltage storage element. A first switch connects the voltage storage element to sample one of the input voltage and the bias voltage during a first of first and second non-overlapping time intervals. A second switch connects the voltage storage element to increase the sampled voltage by another of the input voltage and the bias voltage to the gate drive voltage during the second non-overlapping time interval, while maintaining the gate drive voltage less than a breakdown voltage of the MOS transistor switch. A third switch connects the voltage storage element to provide the gate drive voltage to the MOS transistor switch such that a gate-to-source voltage of the MOS transistor switch is maintained approximately constant.

    摘要: A two-stage switched-capacitor residue amplifier having novel circuitry in the first and second stages provides fast and accurate settling while configured with a large closed-loop gain, and also provides low power consumption while powered from a five volt supply. The invention is particularly well suited for use in a multi-stage, pipe-lined analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that converts multiple bits in the first pipeline stage. Complementary PMOS and NMOS differential pairs are used in the first and/or second stage to increase the current slew capability of the amplifier. Current mirror gain and/or positive feedback is used in the second stage to increase transonductance and bandwidth. Cascode transistors are used in the output of the first and/or second stages and active cascode gain enhancement is used in the first stage to increase dc gain and accuracy. The common mode level at the output of the second stage is controlled by injecting a pair of control currents (representative of the difference between a common-mode level actually at the output of the second stage and a desired common mode level) into a pair of mirror input nodes in the second stage. The common mode level of the first stage is controlled from a common node of a differential pair of the second stage. The two-stage amplifier of the invention provides a gain bandwidth product of 800 MHz, a closed-loop bandwidth of 50 MHz, a dc gain 90 dB, and a power consumption 80 mW.

The transconductance amplifier includes an input circuit that receives an input voltage. A current mirror circuit is coupled to the input circuit. At least one active cascode circuit, coupled to the current mirror circuit, receives current from the current mirror circuit and provides an output current. The active cascode circuit provides gain enhancement to the transconductance amplifier by increasing the output impedance of the transconductance amplifier.

    摘要: A reference buffer suitable for driving switched-capacitor or resistive load circuits provides a very low output impedance. The reference buffer utilizes an amplifier with a very large and controlled transconductance configured in feedback and compensated by a load capacitance. Cascaded gain stages are used to provide a large, controlled transconductance. In one embodiment, a reference buffer amplifier includes a plurality of voltage gain amplifiers connected in cascade and at least one transconductance amplifier connected to a last-connected of the plurality of voltage gain amplifiers. The amplifier may further include at least one current mirror amplifier connected to the at least one transconductance amplifier. In another embodiment, the reference buffer amplifier includes at least one transconductance amplifier and at least one current mirror amplifier cascade-connected to the at least one transconductance amplifier. The amplifiers can be differential or single-ended.

    摘要: A multi-bit sigma-delta analog to digital converter has a quantizer, a loop filter circuit, and a digital to analog feedback circuit. The quantizer, loop filter, and digital to analog feedback circuit have a loop gain associated therewith. The quantizer and loop filter have a combined gain associated therewith. The full-scale of the digital to analog feedback circuit is varied. The combined gain of the quantizer and loop filter is also varied. More specifically, the combined gain of the quantizer and loop filter is varied in inverse proportion to the full-scale of the digital to analog feedback circuit to maintain the loop gain at a substantially constant level.
