    摘要: An apparatus is disclosed for providing a common mode voltage to the inputs of a first differential amplifier which outputs the difference between two signals. A second differential amplifier receives the output of the first differential amplifier, and the output of the second differential amplifier is fed back to the inputs of the first differential amplifier as a common mode voltage. Since both inputs of the first differential amplifier receive the fed hack common mode voltage, the first differential amplifier still outputs only the difference in the two signals, but the presence of the common mode voltage allows the first differential amplifier to operate with lower noise if the voltage levels of the inputs to the first differential amplifier vary. The second differential amplifier may be of significantly lower quality and cost than the first differential amplifier, without affecting the performance of the first differential amplifier.

    摘要: An instrumentation amplifier includes first and second resistors for gain setting. The operational amplifiers within the instrumentation amplifier include selectively enabled current drive sources coupled to the amplifier output. The first and second resistors have variable resistances. A control circuit is configured to select the variable resistances of the first and second resistors to implement a fixed gain for the instrumentation amplifier and further selectively enable the current drive sources. The control circuit receives an indication of a downstream programmable gain (for example, from a downstream programmable gain amplifier). The variable resistances of the first and second resistors are selected to be scaled inversely with respect to the downstream programmable gain and the current drive sources are enabled proportionately with respect to the downstream programmable gain.

    摘要: An LNA circuit for providing a wide range of gain while maintaining the output headroom. In a radio frequency (RF) receiver, the signal received by the receiver may be extremely small. For a transmitter in a short distance, the received signal may be relatively strong. A low power amplifier usually is used to amplify the input signal. The LNA has to be designed to accommodate a wide range of gain. A convention LNA circuit supporting a wide range of gain often suffers from reduced output headroom due to increased current through the load resistor. The present invention discloses the use of current bleeding branch to allow a portion of current to flow through the current bleeding branch and consequently reduces the current that would have flown through the load resistor. Consequently, the voltage across the load resistor may be maintained low to allow adequate output headroom.
