    Abstract: An integrated circuit comprises a gain stage circuit coupled to a compensation circuit. Both the gain stage circuit and the compensation circuit respectively comprise a first current source and a second current source that are subject to the same process variations. A negative feedback circuit is used to generate a corrective current in relation to the second current source, indicative of a current that needs to flow through a load in addition to a current flowing through the second current source in order for a variable voltage to be substantially equal to a reference voltage used to drive the first and second current sources. A compensating current corresponding to the corrective current generated for the second current source is applied to the first current source to compensate for process variation in the gain stage circuit in respect to the first current source.

    Abstract: An apparatus for compensating operating current in an amplifier device when supply voltage to the amplifier device decreases below a predetermined value at an input voltage supply locus includes: (a) A first control circuit coupled with the input voltage supply locus. The first control circuit generates an output signal at an output locus when the supply voltage decreases below the predetermined value. (b) A second control circuit coupled with the output locus and coupled with the amplifier device. The second control circuit effects the compensating in response to the output signal.

    Abstract: An amplifier with temperature compensation where the amplifier has transistors configured to amplify a received signal to create an amplified signal. The amplifier gain changes over temperature. A gain control circuit, connected to the amplifier, that adjusts the amplifier gain responsive to a gain control signal. A temperature compensation circuit includes numerous elements. A constant current source that generates a constant current which is used to create a constant voltage. A temperature dependent current source that generates a temperature dependent current which is used to create a temperature dependent voltage, such that the temperature dependent current source has an inverse temperature dependance as compared to the amplifier. An operational amplifier compares the constant voltage to the temperature dependent voltage and generates an offset signal which varies over temperature. A gated buffer is configured to receive the offset signal and responsive thereto, selectively modify the gain control signal.
