摘要:
The average value of an input signal supplied to an input terminal is generated by an integrating circuit consisting of a series circuit of a capacitor, a constant-current source transistor, and a resistor. The average value is used as the reference voltage for the differential amplifier circuit. Further, to each of differential pair transistors the sources of which are commonly connected, other transistors are cascode connected, respectively. Supplied to each gate of the cascode connected transistors is a divisional voltage of the differential voltage between the average voltage from the integrating circuit and the circuit power supply voltage, which divisional voltage is obtained by a capacitive divider circuit.

A JFET differential amplifier stage in which the gate-drain voltage of each input JFET is kept at least as great as the pinchoff voltage (V.sub.p), but preferably close to V.sub.p so as to reduce the effects of impact ionization and generation currents on the amplifier's input bias current. The input JFETs are cascoded with another pair of JFETs, and the gate-source circuits for the JFETs of each branch are connected in series with the gate-source circuit of an additional JFET between the gates and drains of the input JFETs. The additional JFET is supplied with a current that is substantially less than I.sub.DSS, and thus develops a significant portion of the necessary gate-drain voltages for the input JFETs. This enables a significant net reduction in the chip surface area occupied by the stage.

A stability-compensated, integrated-circuit operational amplifier has an open-loop gain versus frequency characteristic which provides stable and accurate closed-loop operation in numerous overall circuits including a CMOS circuit for producing a precision current as a reference to a digital-to-analog converter. The operational amplifier comprises an inverting node and a non-inverting node, and CMOS circuitry defining two differential amplifiers. Each differential amplifier is connected to the inverting node and the non-inverting node. The first differential amplifier has an output node, and produces on the output node an output potential that defines an output signal having a magnitude that is a function of the magnitude of the difference between a first potential at the inverting node and a second potential at the non-inverting node. The second differential amplifier is also connected to the inverting node and the non-inverting node. The second differential amplifier produces a compensation signal. The operational amplifier further includes capacitive circuitry for coupling the compensation signal to the non-inverting node.

An operational amplifier input stage includes two transistors coupled as a differential amplifier to receive input signals. At least one transistor is stacked in a load circuit of each input transistor for the purpose of lowering the voltage across each transistor. In order to eliminate the effects of error currents resulting from conventional resistor self biasing of the stacked transistors, two nodes, to which the input transistors are coupled, are identified. According to a first embodiment, feedback circuits are coupled to each node and each feedback circuit maintains the coupled node at a voltage level established by the feedback apparatus of the operational amplifier. According to a second embodiment, a single feedback circuit controls the voltage at a first node and the same feedback circuit maintains the voltage level of a second node at a constant level. Either feedback circuit eliminates circuit drift and offset voltage changes resulting from changes in common mode and/or power supply voltages by eliminating the effects of resistive loading on the input stage components.
