摘要:
Embodiments of the present invention provide a low voltage continuous time common mode feedback (CMFB) module, for low voltage operational amplifiers, providing good linearity, wide bandwidth and low systematic offset. The common mode feedback module includes a controlling module and an initializing module. The controlling module and the initializing module are parallel common mode feedback loops. The controlling module is a main CMFB loop and the initializing module is an auxiliary CMFB loop and both the loops work simultaneously. The controlling module and the initializing module receive a first differential input voltage and a second differential input voltage supplied by differential outputs of a main differential amplifier. Both the CMFB loops are low gain amplifiers in order to provide operation as linear as possible over the entire differential output operating range of the main differential amplifier.

A continuous time common mode feedback module is capable of operating in a wide range of input voltages. The common mode feedback module includes a common mode detector and an amplifier for computing and amplifying the difference of a reference voltage and a common mode voltage of a first input signal and a second input signal. The common-mode feedback module includes a common mode resolver and a control voltage generating module coupled to each other to provide a common mode feedback voltage. The common mode feedback module provides a good linearity and a wide bandwidth, without compensation requirements. The common mode feedback module also provides small process corner dependence of bias current and a common mode offset.

Embodiments of the present invention disclose operational amplifiers which demonstrate good settling behavior with minimum over-shoot or ringing for improving settling behavior. The amplifiers include one or more amplification stages connected to form a symmetric structure. The amplification stage includes a boosting amplifier, a MOS transistor and a compensation capacitor. The MOS transistor can be an NMOS transistor and a PMOS transistor. Using this scheme pole-zero doublets are rearranged in a manner to improve the transient settling response.

The present disclosure relates to reduction in the effect of kickback in comparators by means of charge injection implemented by means of voltage controlled switches with attributes similar to those of an input differential pair. The voltage controlled switches produce charge to neutralize the charge loss during latching of inputs in the comparator.

摘要:
An analog input signal is sampled, and the sampled analog input signal is converted to a digital value. A calibration value is also sampled, and a single bit of an N bit offset value is calculated from the sampled calibration value. The sampling operations are alternatively performed so that one bit of the offset value is generated for each generated digital value. For example, the process is repeated N times to calculate all N bits of the offset value while generating N digital values.
摘要:
A switched charge storage element integrator in a continuous or discrete time circuit, the integrator including a differential input amplifier, a first 2-terminal charge storage element, a second 2-terminal charge storage element, and a plurality of controlled switches. The differential input amplifier is coupled to a capacitor and a resistor and configured as an inverting integrator. An inverting terminal of the amplifier is coupled to two controlled switches. A non-inverting terminal of the amplifier is coupled to a reference voltage. The first and second switched charge storage element blocks are alternatingly coupled to the inverting terminal INM of the amplifier XOPA during the active state of a second clock signal and a first clock signal, respectively, for making the supply noise continuous and eliminating its dependency on the clock phases, thereby zeroing its convolution with the clock signal.
