Modified Current Mirror Circuit for Reduction of Switching Time
A current mirror circuit connectible to an amplifier circuit to set a bias point thereof includes a current mirror circuit, and a bias resistor connected thereto. The bias resistor is connectible to the amplifier circuit. A first helper circuit is connected in parallel with the bias resistor, and is selectively activated for a first predetermined duration by a first control signal. The activated first helper circuit defines a lower resistance path relative to the bias resistor to shorten a rising transient response of the amplifier circuit as the current mirror circuit is activated.
AMPLIFICATION CIRCUIT
An amplification circuit includes a filter circuit, an amplifier, a capacitor, a bypass line, and a switch circuit that includes a first FET and a second FET connected in series between one end and the other end of the bypass line, a first resistance element connected in series to a gate of the first FET, and a second resistance element connected in series to a gate of the second FET. A first control signal is supplied to the gate of the first FET. A second control signal is supplied to the gate of the second FET. A product of a gate length and a gate width of the first FET and a resistance value of the first resistance element is smaller than a product of a gate length and a gate width of the second FET and a resistance value of the second resistance element.
