no. 1 Embodiment approach

[0065] figure 1 The reference voltage generating circuit according to the inventions 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 of the first embodiment is shown.

[0066] In this figure, one end of the first capacitor 1 is grounded (here, a predetermined voltage VDD, which functions as a minimum value holding circuit). The other end is connected in series with a capacitor row 4 formed by connecting the second and third capacitors 2 and 3 in series. The switches SW1 to SW3 are connected in parallel with the two ends of the capacitors 1 to 3 respectively, and play the role of removing the electric charge. In addition, VIC is a voltage-to-current conversion circuit, which inputs an input voltage signal Vin on its input side, and is connected to a circuit in which the first capacitor 1 and the capacitor row 4 are connected in series on its output side, and functions until the input voltage Vin is connected to the output The capacitors 1 to 3 are charged (or discharged) until the voltages are equal.

Abstract

The invention provides a voltage amplifier that can amplify input signals having a variety of signal amplitudes to a constant amplitude by using the reference voltage generating circuit with excellent high-speed response. In a reference voltage generating circuit, in a first period, only a first switch is OFF and a maximum peak value Vmax of an input signal In is held at a node A of a first capacitor 1. Next, in a second period, a second and a third switches are opened, and a voltage difference between the maximum peak value Vmax and a minimum peak value Vmin is held at a node C of a capacitor string. At this time, the voltage held in a second capacitor of the capacitor string is added to the voltage held in the first capacitor, and the voltage at a node B is output as a reference voltage Vref. The input signal In is applied to one input terminal of a differential amplifying circuit, and the reference voltage Vref is applied to the other input terminal. When the voltages held at the nodes A and C have stabilized, the reference voltage Vref is generated.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an optical communication system such as a PDS (Passive Double Star) optical subscriber system, in which a current output from a photodiode receiving an optical signal of an optical fiber is converted into a voltage signal, and a signal having various signal amplitudes is converted into a voltage signal. A voltage amplifier that amplifies the input signal to a certain amplitude. Background technique [0002] Recently, research on optical joiner systems has been widely carried out for the future FTTH (Fiber To The Home). However, the introduction of an optical fiber having a huge transmission capacity to a general household has an economical problem compared with the metal wire of the prior art. Among them, a PDS optical subscriber system that allows multiple subscribers to perform bidirectional communication services by branching an optical fiber from the base station side is expected to solve such economic problems. ...
