摘要： A bipolar rail-to-rail class-AB output stage that provides improved AC performance in low voltage applications. The bipolar output stage includes an input buffer stage, first and second complementary common emitter stages, and first and second control circuits biased and configured to assure class-AB operation of the first and second common emitter stages, respectively. The input of the bipolar output stage is applied to the input buffer stage, and the output of the bipolar output stage is provided by the second common emitter stage. The combination of the first common emitter stage and the first AB-control circuit operates as a current booster stage for the second common emitter stage, thereby obviating the need for a large power supply.

摘要： A low noise charge pump circuit includes a first terminal of a first flying capacitor selectively coupled to a first voltage during a first recharging phase and a second terminal of the first flying capacitor selectively coupled to a second voltage during the first recharging phase. The second terminal of the first flying capacitor is coupled to a precharge control circuit during a first parasitic capacitance precharging phase that occurs after the first recharging phase to cause the voltage of the first terminal of the first flying capacitor to equal an output voltage. The first terminal of the first flying capacitor is coupled to an output conductor conducting the output voltage during a first discharging phase that occurs after the first parasitic capacitance precharging phase. The second terminal of the first flying capacitor is coupled to a discharge control circuit which increases the voltage of the second terminal of the first flying capacitor during the first discharging phase until the output voltage is equal to a regulated value.

摘要： An amplifier circuit includes first (7A) and second (7B) operational amplifiers connected in a generally parallel configuration, each with inputs coupled through the same pair of matched input resistors which receive a differential input signal that may have both a positive and negative common mode range. An offset adjustment amplifier (17) receives a differential error signal representative of the difference between offset voltages of the first and second operational amplifiers and generates offset adjustment signals that are applied to input stages of the first and second operational amplifiers to adjust their respective offset voltages so as to equalize them. With the offset voltages equalized, the first and second operational amplifiers operate seamlessly as a common mode component of the differential input signal undergoes a transition from its positive to its negative range, so as to avoid inaccuracies and abrupt changes in an output voltage during the transition, the output voltage being produced in response to outputs of both first and second operational amplifiers.

摘要： A high output current wideband output stage/buffer amplifier that has reduced quiescent current requirements. The output stage/buffer amplifier includes a diamond follower circuit having a pair of complementary output load-driving bipolar junction transistors (BJTs), a pair of pre-driver BJTs, and a plurality of current boost BJTs. As the base current of one of the driver transistors starts to increase in response to an increasing load current, the current through a corresponding pre-driver transistor decreases, thereby increasing the collector current of a corresponding boost transistor. The increased collector current of the boost transistor is fed back to a current mirror, causing a concomitant increase in the base current of the driver transistor.
