AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The signal bandwidth of existing high-speed operational amplifiers is limited by the slew rate, making it impossible to increase the slew rate under large signal input conditions.

Method used

A dynamic slew rate enhancement circuit is adopted, which uses a combination of PNP and NPN transistors or PMOS and NMOS transistors to increase the tail current as the difference between the input differential signals increases. Combined with capacitive coupling of large signals, the layout area ratio is optimized, and the quiescent current is designed to improve the slew rate.

Benefits of technology

It significantly improves the slew rate of the op-amp under large signal input, increases the signal response speed, ensures reasonable quiescent current design, and prevents the occurrence of no-operating-point state.
