A Class A/B Floating Buffer BiCMOS Power Op-Amp
نویسنده
چکیده
A class A/B BiCMOS power op-amp designed to drive the L/R load of a disk drive head actuator is presented. The amplifier uses totem pole NMOS outputs instead of bipolar devices to avoid the high collector resistance in the simplified process used. A unique floating buffer technique regulates the quiescent totem pole current of the output devices and provides control for deep triode NMOS operation. The amplifier is capable of driving a load in all four V-I quadrants without a deadband during transition, and achieves a 0.25 A drive capacity into a 7.5load using a 5-V supply.

متن کاملVirtual ground reference buffer technique in switched-capacitor circuits
The performance of switched-capacitor circuits depends highly on the op-amp specifications. In conventional designs, trade-offs in speed, noise, and settling accuracy make it difficult to implement power-efficient switched-capacitor circuits. The problem originates from the inverse relationship between the feedback factor and the signal gain. This thesis proposes the virtual ground reference bu...

A 15-b l-Msample/s digitally self-calibrated pipeline analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is presented. A radix 1.93, 1 b per stage design is employed. The digital self-calibration accounts for capacitor mismatch, comparator offset, charge injection, finite op-amp gain, and capacitor nonlinearity contributing to DNL. A THD of –90 dB was measured with a 9.8756-kHz sine-wave input. The DNL was meas...
