摘要:
The disclosure relates to an alternating current (AC) coupling circuit including first and second capacitors having first and second input terminals configured to receive an input differential signal and generate an output differential signal at first and second output terminals of the first and second capacitors. The AC coupling circuit further includes a baseline wander correction circuit configured to make the output differential signal resistant to baseline wander due to the input differential signal including one or more time intervals of unbalanced data. The baseline wander correction circuit includes a differential difference amplifier (DDA) having a first differential input configured to receive the input differential signal, a differential output configured to generate a compensation differential signal, and a second differential input configured to receive the compensation differential signal. The compensation differential signal is applied to the output terminals of the first and second capacitors via a pair of resistors, respectively.

摘要:
A differential pair of transistors is coupled to a current source and an active load to provide an output voltage which has little offset voltage drift with respect to input voltage variation. Biasing means establish a predetermined current which is supplied to the differential pair and which is varied by control means in response to the input signal to reduce offset voltage drift.

A multi-stage differential amplifying circuit (100) is disclosed. Multi-stage differential amplifying circuit (100) may include initial stage differential amplifying circuits (SN1 and SP1). Initial stage amplifying circuits (SN1 and SP1) may receive an input signal at input terminals (H01 and H02) and provide a differential output signal at nodes (N9 and N13). An amplitude controlling transistor (ND) may provide a controllable impedance path between nodes (N9 and N13). Amplitude controlling transistor (ND) may have a control gate connected to a current supply node (N10). The controllable impedance path may be controlled so that a magnitude of a differential output signal at nodes (N9 and N13) may be more consistent even when an offset voltage of an input signal at input terminals (H01 and H02) varies. A next stage differential amplifying circuit (SOP) may receive the differential output signal at nodes (N9 and N13) and provide an output signal at an output terminal (N01).

A Class AB voltage-to-current converter includes a primary transconductance stage, secondary transconductance stage, and a biasing circuit. The biasing circuit generates a primary bias voltage that is greater than a generated secondary bias voltage. As such, the primary transconductance stage 12 becomes active before the secondary transconductance stage 14 with respect to the magnitude of a differential input voltage 18, thereby allowing the transconductance of the secondary transconductance stage to be added (or subtracted) from the transconductance of the primary stage to improve the overall transconductance of the Class AB voltage-to-current convert.

An inventive FET balun transformer uses a positive power supply alone, not a negative one, thus downsizing a device including the balun transformer. In the FET balun transformer, a voltage supplied from the positive power supply is divided by a voltage divider consisting of a pair of resistors. The gate of a first FET is biased at a positive voltage, which is obtained by getting the divided supply voltage further divided by a first resistor. The gate of a second FET is grounded with an AC grounded capacitor interposed therebetween and biased at a positive voltage, which is obtained by getting the divided supply voltage further divided by a second resistor. Thus, the gate and source of a third FET do not have to be set at a negative potential, but may be grounded directly and via a biasing resistor, respectively. As a result, no negative power supply is needed for the third FET and the single-ended signal received at the input terminal can be converted into differential signals, which will be output through output terminals, while using the positive power supply alone.
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.
