Therefore, in the case of using the dynamic lower limit threshold signal VL, since the lower limit value of the output signal Vout fluctuates, it is necessary to eliminate the change of the lower limit value of the output signal Vout caused by the fluctuation of the lower limit threshold signal VL. The number of structural parts of the wide circuit increases and the circuit becomes complicated

Abstract

A limiter circuit passes, from input signal voltages, only a signal voltage component contained in a range between the input signal voltage and the upper limit signal voltage by the switching action of a pair of transistors. In this circuit, since the pair of transistors compare the input signal voltage and a threshold signal voltage and switch lines, simultaneously, there is no influence of the propagation delay speed and no switching noise occurs when switching lines. Moreover, since no diode is used, a high-speed limiter circuit can be fabricated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a limiter circuit for limiting the upper and lower limits of input voltage, in particular to a high-speed limiter circuit formed in a semiconductor integrated circuit. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, in semiconductor integrated circuits, for the purpose of noise component removal, circuit protection, stable operation, and analog signal processing, clipping circuits that limit the upper limit or lower limit or upper and lower limits of an input analog signal have been widely used. Figure 17 Represents an ideal diode circuit widely used as a clipping circuit.
