ABSTRACT:
A differential to a single-ended converter circuit includes linearizing PN junctions that compensate for input signal voltage loss in the input stage. A variable voltage source and a resistor are provided for adjusting the voltage produced across these junctions by varying the current through these junctions. The converter circuit also includes a shunt feedback amplifier for inverting half the differential output voltage so that it sums with the differential voltage of opposite phase to produce the single-ended output signal. The shunt feedback amplifier is operated at a constant current to minimize error voltages. Bootstrapping is employed to linearize thermal distortion of the PN junctions and means are provided for compensating for the resulting thermal distortion.
