An amplifying circuit includes a reference voltage generating circuit, a common-mode voltage conversion circuit, a common-mode negative feedback circuit, and an amplifying sub-circuit. The reference voltage generating circuit generates a first reference voltage, a second reference voltage, and a reference common-mode voltage according to a post-stage common-mode voltage. The common-mode voltage conversion circuit converts the pre-stage output differential signal into a differential input signal according to the reference common-mode voltage. The common-mode negative feedback circuit generates a control voltage to quickly establish a common-mode negative feedback of the amplifying sub-circuit, wherein the first reference voltage and the second reference voltage are used to cancel a baseline signal of the pre-stage output differential signal. The amplifying circuit can eliminate the baseline signal, convert the common-mode voltage and quickly establish the common-mode negative feedback.

Resistor attenuator with switch distortion cancellation

A programmable (multistep) resistor attenuator architecture (such as for input to a differential amplifier) provides cancellation for harmonic distortion currents. An attenuation node is coupled: (a) to an input node through R; (b) to a virtual ground through kR and a virtual ground switch Swf with on-resistance Rswf; and (c) to a differential ground through mR and a differential ground switch Swp with on-resistance Rswp. Swp can be sized relative to Swf such that a component Ipnf of Ipn through Rswp and mR to the attenuation node, and branching into kR and Rswf, matches (phase/magnitude), a harmonic current Ifn from the virtual ground through Rswf and kR to the attenuation node. Harmonic distortion cancelation at the virtual ground can be based on matching switches Swf and Swp and the resistors R, mR, kR, reducing sensitivity to PVT variations, input frequency and amplitude. The attenuator architecture is extendable to multistage configurations.

Selectable programmable gain or operational amplifier

An integrated circuit amplifier configurable to be either a programmable gain amplifier or an operational amplifier comprises two output blocks, one output block is optimized for programmable gain amplifier operation, and the other output block is optimized for operational amplifier applications.

Thus duplication of the input stage, offset calibration and bias generation circuits are eliminated while still selectably providing for either a programmable gain amplifier or operational amplifier configuration.
