摘要:
A bias current source for the output stage of an operational amplifier is controllable. The bias current generator senses the voltage differential on the differential operational amplifier inputs. When an input differential voltage is sensed which generates a rising output signal, additional bias current is provided to the output stage. When the output voltage is constant or falling, the bias current to the output stage is decreased.

An amplifier circuit is disclosed having circuitry that senses an electrical current at the output node while dynamically adjusting a bias current for an output circuit of the amplifier circuit. The bias current controls the amount of electrical current that the output circuit sinks or sources at the output node.

An amplifier device capable of performing an efficient amplifying operation with a low power consumption includes an amplifier circuit at least having an input amplifier stage which amplifies a level change of an input signal to output an amplified current, and an output stage which outputs the amplified current as a driving output to a capacitive load; a primary bias circuit for ordinarily supplying a constant and main bias current to the amplifier circuit; a determination element for determining a change condition of the level change of the input signal, which is supplied from the input amplifier stage, so as to generate a control signal corresponding to said change condition; and a driving capability increase element as a secondary bias circuit for increasing a bias current in order to increase the driving output supplied to the capacitive load when the control signal is input.

An amplifier device includes: a current amplifier element for amplifying an output current delivered to a capacitive load, such as, for example, a liquid crystal panel in dependency upon changes of the voltage of an input signal; an element for determining the state of changes in the input signal; and a control element for controlling the current amplifier element depending upon the state of changes in the input signal determined by the determination element in order to improve the output driving capability for the load. This amplifier device is applicable to an amplifier in a narrow sense and a buffer circuit in accordance with the mode of amplification. The former may include the configuration in which a second bias circuit for adding a bias current when the driving capability is required to be enhanced is provided in addition to an elementary bias circuit, and the configuration in which a first output drive element and the second output drive element and a plurality of output drive elements succeeding thereto are provided for additionally carrying out switching between incremental output currents. The latter may be classified into two types depending upon whether or not the potential difference element provided on the output side of the buffer circuit to detect a potential difference between the input and the output to add the output current when the the potential difference thus detected is above the threshold level.
