MEMS SENSOR
A MEMS sensor (1) comprises a MEMS transducer (10) being coupled to a MEMS interface circuit (20). The MEMS interface circuit (20) comprises a bias voltage generator (100), a differential amplifier (200), a capacitor (300) and a feedback control circuit (400). The bias voltage generator (100) generates a bias voltage (Vbias) for operating the MEMS transducer. The variable capacitor (300) is connected to one of the input nodes (I200a) of the differential amplifier (200). At least one of the output nodes (A200a, A200b) of the differential amplifier is coupled to a base terminal (T110) of an output filter (110) of the bias voltage generator (100). Any disturbing signal from the bias voltage generator (100) is a common-mode signal that is divided equally on the input nodes (I200a, I200b) of the differential amplifier (200) and is therefore rejected.
Signal Distribution Circuit and Signal Distribution Circuit System
A signal distribution circuit including an equalization circuit, a signal distribution part, an operational amplifying circuit, a feedback circuit, and a time sequence circuit. The equalization circuit is configured to collect an initial broadband signal. The signal distribution part is configured to distribute a first-stage broadband signal resulting from amplitude attenuation process to obtain a plurality of same second-stage broadband signals. The operational amplifying circuit is configured to perform amplification processing on the second-stage broadband signal obtained after distribution to obtain a third-stage broadband signal. The feedback circuit is configured to feedback the third-stage broadband signal to the equalization circuit. The time sequence circuit is configured to adjust an amplification gain of the third-stage broadband signal, and transmit the third-stage broadband signal to an analog to digital converter.
Preventing distortion in a differential power amplifier
Various aspects of this disclosure describe reducing distortion of a power amplifier by coupling a common mode signal, such as determined from a voltage supply signal of the power amplifier or output of the power amplifier, to an input of the power amplifier. A resistive digital-to-analog converter (DAC) can be coupled to the power amplifier, and a common mode signal is modulated onto differential reference voltages of the DAC, causing the common mode signal to exist at both the input and output of the power amplifier at approximately the same time. Consequently, current flowing at differential inputs of the power amplifier due to the common mode component drops to zero, causing distortions due to common mode to differential mode conversion to be reduced.
