摘要:
A wideband highly-linear buffer circuit exhibiting a low output impedance comprises a first PFET (PFET1), a second PFET (PFET2), a first NFET (NFET1), and a second NFET (NFET2). Sources of PFET1 and PFET2 are coupled to VDD. PFET1's drain is coupled to an output lead. PFET2 acts as a current source. NFET1's drain is coupled to PFET2's drain and to PFET1's gate. NFET1's source is coupled to the output lead. NFET2's source is coupled to ground. NFET2's drain is coupled to NFET1's source and to the output lead. NFET1's gate is AC coupled to a first input lead. In a single-ended input example, NFET2's gate is AC coupled NFET1's drain. In a differential input example, NFET2's gate is AC coupled to a second input lead. In another differential input example, PFET2 is not just a current source, but rather PFET2's gate is AC coupled to the first input lead.

A linearization circuit improves the linearity of a power amplifier based on an envelope of an input RF signal. The linearization circuit comprises an RF signal generation circuit, a replica circuit, and an adaptive amplifier. The RF signal generation circuit generates the RF signal from a phase and an amplitude of an input digital signal. The replica circuit extracts the envelope from the RF signal and generates a sensing voltage based on the extracted envelope. The adaptive amplifier generates an adaptive bias voltage for the power amplifier based on the sensing voltage, and applies the adaptive bias voltage to the power amplifier and to the replica circuit to improve the linearity of the power amplifier by regulating the power amplifier and the replica circuit according to the envelope.

A transmission system for transmitting analog color video signals wherein a cable comprising multiple twisted pairs is employed, and certain of these pairs are coupled to carry selected color signals as a function of the delay provided by particular twist rates. In certain instances, selected signal delay devices are connected in circuit with certain twisted pairs. By such an arrangement, it has been found that relatively long distances between a computer and a monitor may be spanned by relatively low-cost, twisted pair cable commonly used for telephone communications.

A voltage regulator is described. It includes an amplification stage to control a voltage level of a first gain node and of a second gain node in response to an input voltage, to activate a first and a second output stage, respectively. It further includes the first output stage to source a current at an output node of the voltage regulator from a first potential. The voltage regulator includes the second output stage to sink a current at the output node to a second potential. The voltage regulator includes a first operating point control circuit to set the voltage level of the first gain node such that a first maintenance current is sourced by the first output stage; and/or a second operating point control circuit to set the voltage level of the second gain node such that a second maintenance current is sunk by the second output stage.

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.
