    摘要: The differential amplifier made in a CMOS monolisic IC form has input offset voltage worse than the case structured by the bipolar element. A bipolar element structured by a usual CMOS process is used in a differential amplifying stage having a greatest effect on input offset voltage in a CMOS differential amplifier, thereby obtaining a differential amplifier with reduced input offset voltage.

    摘要: To provide a programmable-gain amplifier in which sufficiently fine and linear gain control according to the logic levels of control signals can be realized with a simple circuit configuration, a programmable-gain amplifier includes a cascade connection of differential amplifiers (E.sub.1 to E.sub.n) and a current controller (100) for controlling a product of corresponding emitter currents supplied to each of the differential amplifiers (E.sub.1 to E.sub.n) according to the logic levels of binary control signals. The current controller (100) has a current mirror circuit in which the emitter of each bi-polar transistor (Q.sub.0 to Q.sub.n, Q.sub.c1 to Q.sub.cm) is connected to the ground through a MOS (M.sub.0 to M.sub.n, M.sub.c1 to M.sub.cm) transistor having a relative on-resistance designed to be in inverse proportion to the relative emitter size of the bi-polar transistor, so that the emitter current can be exactly controlled.

    摘要: In a differential circuit including first and second transistors, a constant current circuit causes a constant current to flow through the first transistor. A variable current circuit causes a variable current to flow through the second transistor. A differential input voltage is given to drive the first and the second transistors and to produce an output signal in the form of an output current which may be either a differential output current across two output electrodes or a variable output current flowing through an output electrode. Each of the first and the second transistors may be bipolar transistors or MOSFET's. A relationship between the differential input voltage and the output signal is specified by a peculiar characteristic dependent on the bipolar transistors or the MOSFET's. Therefore, the differential circuit may be incorporated in an LSI circuit.

    摘要: Low voltage operational amplifier (10) operates in a voltage range of one to eight volts over a temperature range of 0.degree. to 70.degree. centigrade. Op amp input stage (12) uses N-channel depletion-mode MOSFETs to provide amplification of the differential input and maintain constant transconductance. Source follower MOSFET (13) provides unity gain in transferring the AC signal, STAGE-1 OUTPUT, to the base of current sinking transistor (18). Sink control circuit (14) and source control circuit (22) generate the base drive currents for transistors (18) and (24). The signal at the output of MOSFET (13) either causes the sink transistor (18) to sink current or the signal to be transposed by means of a translinear loop (16) and causes the source transistor (24) to source current. An output stage provides approximately fifty milliamps of current drive and is quiescent until the output driver is selected.

    摘要: 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.
