    摘要: A switched-capacitor amplifier circuit (200 and 300) with rail-to-rail capability without requiring a rail-to-rail operational amplifier includes a switched-capacitor amplifier (202 and 302) and an input network (201) coupled to the switched-capacitor amplifier. The switched-capacitor amplifier includes a non-rail-to-rail operational amplifier (275 and 375). The input network prevents the non-rail-to-rail operational amplifier from receiving an input differential signal that has a common-mode voltage at or near rails of the non-rail-to-rail operational amplifier. Voltages at input terminals of the operational amplifier remain near analog ground, which is an arbitrary voltage level between the rails, during both phases of switching in the switched-capacitor amplifier. In one embodiment, the switched-capacitor amplifier uses a correlated double sampling technique.

    摘要: A low voltage detector (100) includes a voltage and current reference circuit (102); a power supply voltage monitor circuit (104), coupled to the voltage and current reference circuit and to a power supply; and a voltage comparator (106), coupled to the voltage and current reference circuit and to the power supply voltage monitor circuit. The voltage and current reference circuit includes a self-cascode MOSFET structure (SCM) (110) that produces a reference voltage. The power supply voltage monitoring circuit includes another SCM (140) that produces a monitor voltage, related to the power supply voltage. The reference voltage and the monitor voltage have a same behavior with changes in temperature, thereby allowing the trip point of the low voltage detector to minimally vary with temperature.

    摘要: A low voltage detector (100) includes a power supply voltage monitor circuit (110) that produces a voltage VSP related to a first a power supply voltage, and a voltage generator (105), which includes a plurality of self-cascode MOSFET (SCM) structures (101-103) in a cascade configuration, that generates a reference voltage Vxm. A voltage comparator (140) outputs an output signal in response to a differential between Vxm and VSP, wherein Vxm and VSP have proportional to absolute temperature behavior (PTAT) over temperature with respect to a second power supply voltage. The output signal changes state when the first power supply voltage equals a trip point of the comparator. Each SCM structure is sized to provide a rate of change with temperature of the PTAT behavior of Vxm that matches a rate of change with temperature of the PTAT behavior of VSP.
