Abstract:
An operational transconductance amplifier comprises first and second transistors connected in a gain-controlled emitter-coupled differential amplifier configuration and provided active collector loads by the input ports of a first and a second current mirror amplifiers, respectively. The balanced signals appearing at the output ports of the first and the second current mirror amplifiers in response to the balanced signal variations in the collector currents of the first and second transistors are converted to single-ended form by a third current mirror amplifier having its input and output ports connected to the output ports of the first and second current mirror amplifiers, respectively. Improved high-frequency operation of the gain controllable operational transconductance amplifier as an analog multiplier is obtained by applying common mode currents to the input ports of the first and second current mirror amplifiers. The responses to these common mode currents counteract and cancel each other in the output signal from the operation transconductance amplifier.
Abstract:
An adjustable-gain current mirror amplifier comprises the parallel connected fixed gain current mirror amplifier and an adjustable-gain current amplifier. No appreciable off-set potential in input voltage is required to accommodate trimming of the adjustable-gain current mirror amplifier gain.
Abstract:
In a horizontal deflection circuit including a switch for coupling an energy source to a deflection yoke and for inducing alternating current in an output transformer, two horizontal deflection coils are serially coupled between the energy source and a point of reference potential and a winding of the output transformer is serially coupled between the two deflection coils and poled in the circuit such that the retrace pulse component developed in the winding opposes the retrace pulse developed across the coils for reducing the total pulse voltage across the coils.
Abstract:
Stacked transistor power amplifier stages in an integratedcircuit quasi-linear amplifier are supplied quiescent bias currents which vary in inverse proportion to their forward current gains. This causes their quiescent collector currents to be at sufficiently low levels to reduce to low values both distortion and quiescent power dissipation.
