ABSTRACT:
An amplifier having a differential input provides high gain, good common mode rejection, and linear response uses MOS transistors in a conventional integrated circuit construction. The circuit consists of four direct coupled stages, each one including a depletion and an enhancement transistor. The enhancement transistors are cascaded to provide a high gain common source connected amplifier. The depletion transistors in the four stages are alternately driven from the differential input terminals. This configuration provides a common mode range that can exceed the supply voltage by a wide margin. The differential response is linear and displays high gain. The common mode signal rejection is substantial. The circuit operates over a very wide range of supply voltages.
