    Abstract: A fully-differential amplifier (FDA) includes a core differential amplifier and a common-mode input voltage control circuit. The core differential amplifier includes differential inputs. The common-mode input voltage control circuit is coupled to the differential inputs. The common-mode input voltage control circuit is configured to generate an error signal as a difference of an input common mode voltage at the differential inputs and a target common mode input voltage (VICM); and to adjust the input common mode voltage to the VICM based on the error signal.

    Abstract: Examples of amplifiers accurately generate control currents for control terminals of output drivers using current-replication transistors and current mirrors. An input terminal of a first current mirror is coupled to the control terminal of a first current-replication transistor, and an input terminal of a second current mirror is coupled to the control terminal of a second current-replication transistor. The output terminals of the first and second current mirrors are coupled to the control terminals of first and second output drivers, respectively. First and second intermediate currents indicative of first and second currents flowing to the first and second output driver elements, respectively, are generated. Using the first and second current mirrors, first and second control currents are generated to control the first and second output driver elements, respectively, by scaling the first and second intermediate currents according to the gain factors of the current mirrors.

    Abstract: Examples of amplifiers use current-replication transistors and a separation circuit coupled to such transistors to separate error current components from other current components in a pre-driver of an amplifier. In response to driving the current-replication transistors with the separated error current components, replica base current components that approximate error-modulation components of the pre-driver base currents are generated. Replica-current subtraction circuitry coupled to the current-replication transistors then subtract the replica base current components from the pre-driver base currents, affecting cancellation of the error-modulation components of the pre-driver base currents.

    Abstract: A method of forming an electronic device includes forming first, second and third doped regions at a surface of a semiconductor substrate. A first buried layer is located within the semiconductor substrate below the first, second and third doped regions. Fourth and fifth doped regions are laterally spaced apart along the substrate and extend from the surface of the substrate to the first buried layer, the first, second and third doped regions being located between the fourth and fifth doped regions. A second buried layer is formed within the substrate and between the fourth and fifth doped regions such that a first portion of the semiconductor substrate is located between the first buried layer and the second buried layer, and a second portion of the semiconductor substrate is located between the first, second and third doped regions and the second buried layer.

    Abstract: A bus driver circuit (FIG. 2) is disclosed. The circuit includes a signal lead of a bus (200) and a reference terminal (Vss). A first transistor (MN0) has a first control terminal and has a first current path coupled to the reference terminal. A second transistor (MN1) has a second control terminal coupled to the first control terminal and has a second current path coupled between the signal lead and the reference terminal. A third transistor (MP0) is arranged to provide a first current through the first current path when the signal lead is in a first logic state (high). A fourth transistor (MP1) is arranged to apply a voltage to the second control terminal when the signal lead is in a second logic state (low).
