ABSTRACT:
A tiny pre-amplifier for a small, low voltage, high impedance signal source, usually an electret microphone, exhibiting near unity gain, has an input cascode stage connected to the microphone and a matched balancing cascode stage; both cascode stages are energized from the same power supply circuit. The two cascode stages supply intermediate signals to the inputs of a differential amplifier to generate an output signal having a greatly reduced noise content, independent of power supply variations. The pre-amplifier is wholly integratable, has low power drain, and fits into the microphone housing.
