摘要:
Operational amplifier embodiments are provided to enhance amplifier parameters such as bandwidth, stability, and headroom. In an amplifier embodiment, transistor followers are arranged with first and second differential pairs to facilitate selective positioning of first and second transfer function poles to enhance bandwidth and resistors and inductors are arranged to facilitate selective positioning of complex third transfer function poles to enhance phase margin. In another amplifier embodiment, the transistor followers are arranged to reduce headroom limitations to thereby enhance the voltage swing of output signals.

Differential amplifiers are provided with a common-mode controller that establishes an amplifier common-mode output level while it also enhances amplifier gain and output impedance. The amplifier includes cascode transistors and the controller includes positive-feedback transistors that respond to an output side of the cascode transistors and negative-feedback transistors that respond to an input side of the cascode transistors. Gain and output impedance are increased by the positive-feedback transistors and the increase is controlled by the negative-feedback transistors. Common-mode level is established by voltages between current and control terminals of the positive-feedback transistors. The differential amplifiers are shown to be especially suited for use in switched-capacitor structures.
摘要:
Methods and structures are provided to enhance the linearity of amplifiers such as those which include a complementary common-collector amplifier stage. The methods and structures configure this stage so that each transistor of the stage drives an output port through a linearizing resistance. The methods and structures then control a bias current through the stage to substantially be the thermal voltage VT divided by twice the linearizing resistance.
