    • First and second current feedback transconductance amplifiers (102,104) each have a high impedance voltage input, a low impedance current input and a pair of push-pull current outputs. In a single-ended configuration, an input signal is applied to the voltage input of the first transconductance amplifier (102) and the push-pull outputs of the both transconductance amplifiers are connected through a current mirror (136,138) to a node (134) where the current outputs are summed. The node current is integrated by a capacitor (174) to produce a voltage which is amplified by a transimpedance amplifier (190) to produce an output voltage which is fed back to the voltage input of the second transconductance amplifier (104). The current inputs of the transconductance amplifiers (102,104) are interconnected by a resistor (132). The high impedance voltage inputs produce common-mode cancellation of distortion in the transconductance amplifiers (102,104) and low input shot noise. In a differential configuration, differential input signals are applied to the voltage inputs of transconductance amplifiers (260,262), and a separate transimpedance amplifier (292,316) and current mirror (278,280) (302,304) is provided for each transconductance amplifier (260,262). A common-mode feedback circuit (352) controls the common-mode output voltages of the transimpedance amplifiers (292,316) to ground. Switch means (402,404,406,408,410,412) may be added to selectively ground the voltage inputs of the transconductance amplifiers (260,262) and disable their input stages by disconnecting their power supplies (VCC,VEE).
    • 第一和第二电流反向跨导放大器(102,104)各自具有高阻抗电压输入,低阻抗电流输入和一对推挽电流输出。 在单端配置中,输入信号被施加到第一跨导放大器(102)的电压输入,并且两个跨导放大器的推挽输出通过电流镜(136,138)连接到节点(134) 其中当前输出相加。 节点电流由电容器(174)积分以产生被跨阻放大器(190)放大的电压,以产生反馈到第二跨导放大器(104)的电压输入端的输出电压。 跨导放大器(102,104)的电流输入通过电阻器(132)互连。 高阻抗电压输入产生跨导放大器(102,104)中的失真的共模消除和低输入散射噪声。 在差分配置中,差分输入信号被施加到跨导放大器(260,262)的电压输入端,并为每个跨导放大器(260,262)提供单独的跨阻抗放大器(292,316)和电流镜(278,308)(302,304)。 共模反馈电路(352)控制跨阻放大器(292,316)的共模输出电压接地。 可以添加开关装置(402,404,406,408,410,412)以有选择地接地跨导放大器(260,262)的电压输入,并且通过断开它们的电源(VCC,VEE)来禁用它们的输入级。

    • A bandgap reference voltage source (104) has positive and negative terminals (104a,104b) which are connected through high impedance constant current sources (124c,126c) to positive and negative voltage supplies (+VDD,-VEE) respectively. The effect of variations of the voltage supplies (+VDD, -VEE) on the voltage source (104) is low due to the high impedances of the currents sources (124c,126c), providing a high power supply rejection ratio (PSRR). The reference voltage (VREF) generated by the voltage source (104) is converted into a reference current (IREF) which flows through two equal series resistors (108,110), and also through current mirrors (124,126) which produce positive and negative output currents corresponding thereto. The current sources (124c,126c) for the voltage source (104) are also controlled by the current mirrors (124,126). A servo control amplifier (232) senses the voltage at the junction (234) of the resistors (108,110) and adjusts the voltage at either the positive or negative terminal (104a,104b) of the voltage source (104) to maintain the voltages at the terminals (104a,104b) symmetrical with respect to ground, thereby preventing the voltage source (104) from latching to one of the voltage supplies (+VDD,-VEE) during startup.
    • 带隙参考电压源(104)具有分别通过高阻抗恒流源(124c,126c)连接到正和负电压源(+ VDD,-VEE)的正端子和负端子(104a,104b)。 由于电流源(124c,126c)的高阻抗提供高电源抑制比(PSRR),电压源(+ VDD,-VEE)的变化对电压源(104)的影响很小。 由电压源(104)产生的参考电压(VREF)被转换成流过两个相等的串联电阻(108,110)的参考电流(IREF),并且还通过电流镜(124,126)产生正和负的输出电流对应 到此。 用于电压源(104)的电流源(124c,126c)也由电流镜(124,126)控制。 伺服控制放大器(232)感测电阻器(108,110)的结(234)处的电压,并且调节电压源(104)的正或负端子(104a,104b)处的电压,以将电压维持在 端子(104a,104b)相对于地面对称,从而防止电压源(104)在启动期间锁定到电压源(+ VDD,-VEE)之一。

    • A transconductance push-pull amplifier (20) generates primary push-pull currents (I1, I2) corresponding to a voltage input signal (VIN). Current mirrors (42,44) generate secondary push-pull currents (I3, I4) corresponding to the primary push-pull currents (I1, I2). For sampling, both the primary and secondary push-pull currents (I1, I2, I3, I4) are applied to charge a capacitor (C3) in a current feed-forward arrangement with high slew rate and fast signal acquisition to produce a voltage output signal (VOUT). The capacitor (C3) is disconnected from the amplifier (20) and current mirrors (42,44) to hold the output signal (VOUT). Switching transistors (Q13, Q15) which are connected between the capacitor (C3) and the current mirrors (42,44) have substantially the same non-linear modulation characteristics as corresponding output transistors (Q7, Q8) in the amplifier (20). The output and switching transistors (Q7, Q8, Q13, Q15) are connected to modulate out-of-phase such that non-linear modulation of the primary push-pull currents (I1, I2) by the output transistors (Q7, Q8) is canceled by non-linear modulation of the secondary push-pull currents (I3, I4) by the switching transistors (Q13, Q15), and the output signal (VOUT) is a highly linear replica of the input signal (VIN).
    • 跨导推挽放大器(20)产生对应于电压输入信号(VIN)的初级推挽电流(I1,I2)。 电流镜(42,44)产生对应于初级推挽电流(I1,I2)的次级推挽电流(I3,I4)。 对于采样,施加初级和次级推挽电流(I1,I2,I3,I4),以高压摆率和快速信号采集的电流前馈布置对电容器(C3)充电,以产生电压输出 信号(VOUT)。 电容器(C3)与放大器(20)和电流镜(42,44)断开以保持输出信号(VOUT)。 连接在电容器(C3)和电流镜(42,44)之间的开关晶体管(Q13,Q15)具有与放大器(20)中对应的输出晶体管(Q7,Q8)基本相同的非线性调制特性。 输出和开关晶体管(Q7,Q8,Q13,Q15)被连接以调制异相,使得输出晶体管(Q7,Q8)的主要推挽电流(I1,I2)的非线性调制, 通过开关晶体管(Q13,Q15)的二次推挽电流(I3,I4)的非线性调制来消除,输出信号(VOUT)是输入信号(VIN)的高线性复制品。

    • A compensating transistor (Q5) is connected in series with the collector of a main transistor (Q3), and a level shifted replica (Vin+V1) of an input signal (Vin) is applied to the base of the compensating transistor (Q5) to maintain a constant voltage difference between the base and collector of the main transistor (Q3) and compensate for base width modulation .DELTA.Vce.

    • A diode bridge includes a plurality of diodes for coupling an input voltage signal to a holding capacitor for sampling when the diodes are forward biased, and uncoupling the voltage signal from the capacitor for holding when the diodes are reverse biased. The diode bridge has first and second bias current nodes. A constant current drain causes a constant bias current to flow out of the bridge. A transistor connects the first node to the drain for forward biasing the diodes, whereas a transistor connects the second node to the drain for reverse biasing the diodes. A bootstrap amplifier (A2) produces a variable control voltage which controls a pair of voltage-controlled constant current sources to cause the constant bias current to flow therethrough into the bridge. A transistor (Q7) couples the control voltage to the first current source for forward biasing the diodes, whereas a transistor couples the control voltage to the second current source for reverse biasing the diodes. The transistors are all bipolar and of the same conductivity type, preferably NPN.

    • A low-noise, low-distortion clamping scheme includes a bootstrapped voltage clamp and an R.sub.gm current clamp that provide superior overdrive protection when used together in a Class-AB feedback amplifier. The bootstrapped voltage clamp includes a transistor that is connected to a circuit node to be clamped. The transistor's base is bootstrapped to the node to maintain a constant V.sub.be when not clamping, to reduce the adverse effects of the junction capacitance C.sub.je which would normally vary with the node voltage and distort the signal at the node. Two such clamps provide positive and negative voltage limiting. The R.sub.gm current clamp is used in the input stage of a Class-AB feedback amplifier to limit the current through the resistor R.sub.gm that interconnects the current inputs of two transconductance amplifiers whenever the voltage drop across R.sub.gm increases to an unacceptable level. The clamp uses a dependent current source whose output current increases with the magnitude of the current flowing through R.sub.gm and prevents that current from exceeding a predetermined limit. When not clamping, the clamp has a very small effect on the amplifier's input stage. Two R.sub.gm current clamps are typically used to limit current flowing in either direction through R.sub.gm.
