    摘要: A precision current generator provides an output current responsive to a reference supply voltage. The current generator comprises a voltage generator which drives the input to a buffer amplifier. The buffer amplifier output drives the bases of multiple output transistors, the collectors of which form the current outputs. The output current is not dependent upon transistor beta, junction voltage, temperature or supply voltage. The all NPN design enables the current generator to track the reference voltage at high frequencies without peaking or ringing of the output current and without voltage coupling between output devices.

    摘要: The cascode feed forward amplifier is modified to correct alpha-induced error. A pair of resistors are serially disposed between the bases of a pair of common-base amplifiers to generate an error voltage proportional to the input signal. The error voltage is applied to the correction amplifier to provide an appropriate correction current.

    摘要: A current-limiting circuit for a differential amplifier includes a voltage generator which is switched in parallel with a signal-current-generating impedance connected between the emitters of the differential amplifier transistors whenever an input signal exceeds the voltage of the voltage generator. A practical embodiment for limiting the current in either direction for opposite-polarity input signals includes a pair of voltage generators cross-coupled from a respective differential amplifier transistor base to the opposite transistor emitter via transistor switches.

    摘要: A high bandwidth amplifier circuit with input protection is achieved by providing a signal limiting diode circuit in the path to the positive input of the amplifier and a cross-over signal feed path for coupling a portion of the input signal from the input signal source side of the signal limiting diode circuit to the negative input of the amplifier. To maximize the overall circuit bandwidth and minimize VSWR and noise, the cross-over signal feed path is designed to couple over to the negative input of the amplifier a signal that has at a higher-end of the bandwidth range an increasing amplitude and increasingly leading phase relationship relative to the amplitude limited version of the input signal being coupled to the positive input of the amplifier. In a desirable embodiment, most of the circuitry is contained on an integrated circuit and bond wires needed for coupling serve as inductors and tune the circuitry.

    摘要: A high frequency sample and hold circuit has a sampling diode bridge for coupling an input test signal to be sampled to a holding capacitor when all of the diodes of the bridge are forward biased by an applied strobe signal, thereby charging the capacitor to the input voltage. The diode bridge substantially uncouples the input signal from the holding capacitor when the strobe current direction is reversed such that the holding capacitor retains the charge stored thereon and therefore remains charged to the current sample signal voltage at the instant the strobe current reverses direction. Any holding capacitor charging current generated by the sampling bridge as it returns to equilibrium after strobe current reversal is offset by a holding capacitor charging current of substantially equal magnitude and opposite phase generated by a compensating bridge. The compensating bridge has capacitive coupling characteristics substantially matching those of the sampling bridge and produces the reverse phase charging current either as a result of an applied input signal being of reverse phase to the sampling bridge input signal or as a result of an applied strobe current being of reverse phase to the sampling bridge strobe signal.
