Abstract: An input stage of an operational amplifier receives first and second input voltages. An output slew detection circuit decreases a first current responsive to slewing of an output of the operational amplifier and increases the first current responsive to no slewing. A slew boost and differential input voltage detection generates a second current at a first level when the first and second input voltages are approximately equal and to generate the second current at a second level, smaller than the first level, responsive to the first and second input voltages not being approximately equal. A voltage on a capacitor increases responsive to the first current from the output slew detection circuit increasing and responsive to the second current being at the second level. A current mirror is activated responsive to the voltage on the capacitor exceeding a second threshold. The current mirror decreases a third current of the input stage.

Abstract: An operational amplifier includes an input stage configured to receive a first input voltage and a second input voltage and a slew boost circuit coupled to the input stage and configured to selectively increase current through the input stage. The operational amplifier also includes an output stage coupled to the input stage and configured to generate an output voltage, and a slew boost disable circuit configured to assert a control signal to the slew boost circuit to disable the slew boost circuit. The slew boost circuit is disabled when both: the first input voltage being more than a first threshold voltage different from the second input voltage and the output voltage failing to change by more than a second threshold rate.

Abstract: In at least some embodiments, a system comprises a frequency generator configured to generate a second clock signal having a second frequency using a first clock signal having a first frequency. The second frequency is offset from the first frequency and each of a plurality of harmonic frequencies of the second frequency is offset from a harmonic frequency of the first frequency. The system also includes a power converter configured to produce a power signal that at least partially corresponds to the second frequency. The system further comprises an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) configured to sample and convert analog voltages at the first frequency. The ADC is powered by the power signal.
