Abstract

A broadband limiting amplifier circuit belongs to the technical field of analog integrated circuits. Including the first-stage operational amplifier, the second-stage operational amplifier and the third-stage operational amplifier, the first NMOS transistor and the second NMOS transistor in the first-stage operational amplifier are input pair tubes connected to the front-end small swing signal output, and the first PMOS transistor and the second PMOS tube are load tubes, and the differential output of the first-stage operational amplifier is respectively connected in series with the gate of the NMOS transistor of the source-follower structure in the second-stage operational amplifier through a polycrystalline resistor, and a high-frequency zero point is introduced into the signal path. The signal bandwidth is expanded, and the source follower reduces the output impedance, and the output pole is pushed to the high frequency; the third stage op amp amplifies the output signal of the previous stage op amp to a full-swing signal whose peak-to-peak value is equal to the power supply voltage. The present invention does not waste extra voltage margin while expanding the bandwidth, and can work in a low-voltage domain; and the present invention uses a source follower connected in series with resistors instead of an inductive device to provide a high-frequency zero point, thereby reducing circuit area and saving chip area ; The present invention can also superimpose other techniques for expanding the bandwidth.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of analog integrated circuits and relates to a broadband limiting amplifier circuit, in particular to a broadband limiting amplifier circuit which does not use passive inductance and can be applied in a low voltage domain. Background technique [0002] The broadband limiting amplifier is usually used to amplify the input small swing signal to the full rail. For the broadband limiting amplifier, the most typical structure is the Cherry-Hopper amplifier, which is characterized by the use of local parallel negative feedback technology to improve the two The frequency response of the stage amplifier, the traditional Cherry-Hooper amplifier such as figure 1 As shown, the bandwidth is extended by introducing resistor negative feedback. However, the defect of this structure is also very obvious, the tail current flows through the feedback resistor R F and load resistor R D , consumes a large amount of voltage ma...
