Abstract:
A low-power, low-voltage feedback class AB operational amplifier is disclosed. The minimum supply voltage is one gate-source voltage and two saturation voltages. Currents on the output p-type and n-type transistors are monitored as part of the feedback loop control. Accurate monitoring is achieved by connecting current monitors directly to the corresponding voltage rail. Additional output stages may be selectively connected to the primary output stage to dynamically adjust to changes source conditions. Thus by connecting the appropriate number and type of additional output stages, continuous time adaptive power supply compensation is achieved. Both single ended and differential topologies are described.
