    Abstract: A BiCMOS capacitive charge pump circuit for low supply voltage has a bipolar part, functionally reproducing a basic charge pump circuit and a CMOS part that comprises MOS transistors (M1, M2) functionally connected in parallel with the driving switch toward ground potential (T3) of the charge transfer capacitance (C1) and in parallel with the output diode (T7) for substantially nullifying voltage drops on the respective bipolar components (T3, T7). A special driving circuit (T8, R2, I2), powered at the boosted output voltage (VOUT) responds to the rise of the voltage on the output node above a minimum level, as ensured by the bipolar part of the charge pump circuit, to drive said MOS transistors (M1, M2), thus allowing the output voltage to reach a level that is substantially double the supply voltage (Vs), also when the latter is exceptionally low for reliably ensuring switching of the CMOS part of the circuit.

    Abstract: A DC-DC boost converter for directly driving a capacitive load employs four switches for cyclically commuting the connection configuration of an energy storing inductor. First and second switches are driven at a relatively high frequency and provide an impulsive charge path of the inductor by connecting one or the other end to a power supply rail. Third and fourth switches are driven in phase opposition to each other at a relatively low frequency and provide a discharge path from one and the other end of the inductor, respectively, toward an output node of the circuit to which the capacitive load is connected.

    Abstract: A low-noise preamplifier stage, in particular for magnetic heads, which comprises a differential circuit (T5,T6) and a single-transistor output stage (T2). The differential stage has an intrinsic offset voltage, is ground-connectable and can be directly coupled to the magnetic head (L) , the two transistors forming the differential circuit (T5,T6) having different bias currents in order to reduce the input equivalent noise. The base terminal of the first transistor (T5) of the differential circuit defines an input (IN) of the stage which can be connected directly to a terminal of the magnetic head (L); the other terminal of the head can be connected directly to the ground. The base terminal of the other transistor (T6) of the differential circuit (T5,T6) is connected to the intermediate point of a pair of resistors (R1,R2) which are mutually connected in series between the single transistor of the output stage (T2) and a line at reference voltage. In this manner the differential stage (T5,T6) biases the output with its offset voltage without requiring additional components for this purpose.
