An amplifier circuit with an overshoot suppress scheme is provided. The amplifier circuit includes an input amplifier, an output amplifier and a diode device. The output amplifier is coupled to the input amplifier and outputs an output voltage. The diode device is coupled between an output end and an input end of the output amplifier. When a voltage difference between the output end and the input end of the output amplifier is greater than a barrier voltage of the diode device, the diode device is turned on, and an overshoot of the output voltage is reduced.

摘要:
A circuit is specified for producing exponential predistortion for a variable amplifier that contains two parallel-connected, controlled current paths, each having a diode that is followed by a differential amplifier stage. The area ratio of the first diode and the second diode is in this case equal to the area ratio of the first transistor and the second transistor in the differential amplifier. Therefore, a current produced on the output side has exponential predistortion in comparison to a control signal that can be applied on the input side. This makes it possible to drive linear amplifiers dB-linearly. The present circuit can be used for radio-frequency purposes and allows good noise characteristics as well as a high degree of insensitivity to process parameter and temperature fluctuations.
