Abstract:
A mirroring circuit operating at high frequencies is provided. The mirroring circuit includes a first branch having a first transistor in series with a first resistor, a second branch having a second transistor in series with a second resistor, and a servo circuit for controlling current flowing in the first branch and the second branch. The servo circuit includes a third transistor configured as a diode, a source of the third transistor coupled to a source of the first transistor, a fourth transistor configured as a shift lever, a source of the fourth transistor coupled to ground via a third resistor, a fifth transistor configured as a diode, a source of the fifth transistor coupled to a source of the second transistor, and a sixth transistor configured as a shift lever, a source of the sixth transistor coupled to ground via the third resistor.
Abstract:
A circuit for correcting the offset of an amplification and filtering chain having a predetermined gain and cut-off frequency depending on the value of at least one capacitor, comprising: a correction means for subtracting from the chain input a correction signal depending on the value of a programmable digital word; a digital automaton for, in a setting phase, searching, then memorizing one of two consecutive values of the digital word between which the output signal of the chain switches sign, the input signal being canceled during a setting phase; and comprising a means for, during the setting phase, reducing the value of said at least one capacitor with respect to its normal operating value.
