摘要:
An amplifier, a fully-differential amplifier and a delta-sigma modulator are disclosed. The disclosed amplifier includes a front-end gain stage, an AC-coupled push-pull output stage and a compensation circuit. The compensation circuit is coupled between the front-end gain stage and an output terminal of the amplifier. The AC-coupled push-pull output stage uses an AC-coupled capacitor (which is a passive two terminal electrical component rather than a stray or parasitic capacitance of a transistor) to couple the front-end gain stage to a gate of a top or bottom transistor of a push-pull structure introduced in the AC-coupled push-pull output stage, and uses a resistance component to couple a gate of the top or bottom transistor (depending on which one is coupled to the AC-coupled capacitor) to a bias voltage level.

An operational amplifier circuit includes a first stage amplifier circuit, a second stage amplifier circuit and a first feedforward circuit. The first stage amplifier circuit is coupled to a first input node for receiving a first input signal and amplifying the first input signal to generate a first amplified signal. The second stage amplifier circuit is coupled to the first stage amplifier circuit for receiving the first amplified signal and amplifying the first amplified signal to generate a first output signal at a first output node. The first feedforward circuit is coupled between the first input node and the second stage amplifier circuit for feeding the first input signal forward to the second stage amplifier circuit.

A sigma-delta modulator includes a front portion and a hybrid portion to form a loop filter. The front portion includes integrator(s) and feed-forward path(s), and is arranged to provide a front signal by combining signals of the integrator(s) and feed-forward path(s). The hybrid portion is coupled to the front portion, and arranged to provide a filtered signal by combining an integration of the front signal and a weighting of the front signal. The filtered signal is quantized, converted from digital to analog, and fed back to the loop filter.
