    摘要: A fully differential current feedback amplifier suitable for using in a fully differential operational amplifier circuit is disclosed. Symmetrical low input impedance input circuits receive a differential input current and provide a set of four currents that correspond to the differential input currents. These current are input to a pair of subtraction circuits that output a first voltage signal responsive to the positive difference and a second voltage signal responsive to the negative difference. In some embodiments these signals may be further amplified. A common mode circuit is provided that averages the output voltage and feeds back current in response to the subtraction circuits. In this way the average common mode output DC voltage can be set to particular voltage levels.

    摘要: A Gigabit/s transimpedance amplifier system includes a forward-path amplifier section with a very large bandwidth and an overall frequency-selective feedback section which is active only from DC to low frequencies. The forward-path of the amplifier comprises a regulated cascode for receiving the input signal, a regulated cascode for receiving the feedback signal, a single-ended to differential converter and an output buffer. Stability and frequency selection is achieved by a bandwidth-limited operational amplifier in the feedback path. The Miller multiplication of a capacitive means in the operational amplifier creates a low-frequency pole and stabilizes the feedback loop and thereby limits the frequency range of the feedback.

    摘要: This invention provides a circuit and a method for programmable counters. It consists of a circuit and a method for unique programmable counters that provide half-integral as well as integral steps, such as 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4. This circuit and method are the first implementations of providing programmable counting with half-integral steps. The circuit and method of this invention can be extended via the cascading of toggle flip flops at the front end of the circuit of this invention. This provides the ability to enhance the speed of normal integral step counting applications. In addition, the cascading of the multiple copies of the circuit of this invention provides the ability to provide other fractional programmable counters. A key advantage of this invention is that the method of this invention is general enough to use any other type of counter sub-component beside the binary counter sub-component of this invention.

    摘要: A wide-band single-ended to differential converter (DC to 1 GHz) with very low amplitude and phase matching errors, of the order of 0.01 dB and 0.15 degrees respectively and using CMOS technology, is comprised of a first and a second stage. The very low amplitude and phase matching errors have been achieved firstly by the use of capacitive means CD across the gate and source of the first stage MOS transistor M1 with a value equal to the drain to ground (reference potential) parasitic capacitance of the tail current source device for the first stage, and secondly by using equal valued capacitive means CF1, CF2 in the second stage and setting their values to be several (5-10) times more than the gate-drain parasitic capacitances of either of the differential transistors of the second stage.

    摘要: A buffer amplifier comprising a source follower-common drain circuit with a feedback path from the output of the drain follower to the input gate of the source follower. The feedback circuit is designed such that the output of the drain follower can be guaranteed to be at a voltage midway between the positive and the negative voltage supply of the circuit. This is the optimum operating point since it allows the largest signal swing. A small transconductance is realized by biasing the transistors of the feedback amplifier with very low currents; preferably by operating them in their weak inversion region. Feedback through the feedback amplifier is only present at DC (direct current) and at very low frequencies. This stabilizes the DC voltage at the drain of the common drain transistor, which, via an output capacitor, is also the output of the buffer amplifier.
