ABSTRACT:
First and second current feedback transconductance amplifiers (102,104) each have a high impedance voltage input, a low impedance current input and a pair of push-pull current outputs. In a single-ended configuration, an input signal is applied to the voltage input of the first transconductance amplifier (102) and the push-pull outputs of the both transconductance amplifiers are connected through a current mirror (136,138) to a node (134) where the current outputs are summed. The node current is integrated by a capacitor (174) to produce a voltage which is amplified by a transimpedance amplifier (190) to produce an output voltage which is fed back to the voltage input of the second transconductance amplifier (104). The current inputs of the transconductance amplifiers (102,104) are interconnected by a resistor (132). The high impedance voltage inputs produce common-mode cancellation of distortion in the transconductance amplifiers (102,104) and low input shot noise. In a differential configuration, differential input signals are applied to the voltage inputs of transconductance amplifiers (260,262), and a separate transimpedance amplifier (292,316) and current mirror (278,280) (302,304) is provided for each transconductance amplifier (260,262). A common-mode feedback circuit (352) controls the common-mode output voltages of the transimpedance amplifiers (292,316) to ground. Switch means (402,404,406,408,410,412) may be added to selectively ground the voltage inputs of the transconductance amplifiers (260,262) and disable their input stages by disconnecting their power supplies (VCC,VEE).
