    摘要: A power amplifier structure includes at least one power amplifier circuit. The power amplifier circuit includes a transistor of a first type connected in series with a transistor of a second type connected between the same voltage supply. In a non-limiting nonexclusive example, an n-type transistor is connected in series with a p-type transistor connected between Vdd. The power amplifier structure can include two amplifier circuits configured in a differential amplifier structure. The differential amplifier structure includes two amplifier circuits operably connected in parallel between the same voltage supply.

    摘要: A bias voltage generating circuit includes an amplifier circuit and a negative feedback circuit. The amplifier circuit is configured to generate a bias voltage according to a first voltage input and a second voltage input. The negative feedback circuit is coupled to the amplifier circuit, and configured to control the first voltage input. The negative feedback circuit includes a first voltage generator and a second voltage generator. The first voltage generator, coupled to the amplifier circuit, is biased by the bias voltage and configured to amplify a third voltage input to generate the first voltage input. The second voltage generator, coupled to the first voltage generator, is configured to generate the third voltage input. A ratio of the first voltage input to the third voltage input is locked according to a ratio of the second voltage input to the third voltage input.

    摘要: Logarithmic current-to-voltage converters with emitter resistance compensation are disclosed herein. In certain embodiments, a logarithmic current-to-voltage converter includes a logarithmic bipolar transistor that converts an input current to a logarithmic voltage, and an emitter resistance compensation circuit that includes a replica of the logarithmic bipolar transistor. The emitter resistance compensation circuit processes a copy of the input current to generate an emitter resistance compensation signal that adjusts the logarithmic voltage to correct for an error introduced by an emitter resistance of the logarithmic bipolar transistor. By providing emitter resistance compensation in this matter, logarithmic current-to-voltage conversion with high accuracy and low log error is achieved.

    摘要: The present invention provides a driving circuit for a switching transistor and a driving device including the same. The driving circuit includes: a power amplifier, including a first power transistor and a second power transistor that are connected between a first direct current voltage terminal and a second direct current voltage terminal and are arranged in a push-pull circuit; a first voltage regulating device, connected between an input terminal of the power amplifier and a control terminal of the first power transistor; a third power transistor, connected between an output terminal of the power amplifier and the second direct current voltage terminal or a grounding terminal; a first voltage dividing device, connected between the input terminal and the output terminal of the power amplifier; and a transistor control circuit, configured to: control the third power transistor to be turned on when the switching transistor is located in a short-circuit path, and control the third power transistor to be turned off when the switching transistor is controlled to be turned on and is not located in the short-circuit path. The driving circuit of the present invention reduces the power consumption of the switching transistor and extends the time for short-circuit protection.

    摘要: A sensor driver providing high power supply rejection ratio is provided herein. A circuit can include a charge pump that comprises an input terminal and an output terminal, wherein the input terminal is operatively connected to a voltage supply. The charge pump further comprises circuitry that decouples an input voltage from the voltage supply from an output voltage of the charge pump and mixes defined frequency disturbances back to baseband. The circuit also includes an error amplifier configured to provide high power supply rejection ratio at baseband, wherein the output terminal of the charge pump is operatively connected to an input node of the error amplifier. Further, the circuit includes a capacitive micro-electromechanical system sensor operatively connected to an output node of the error amplifier.
