Benefits of technology

The patent aims to provide a device that can lower the power consumption of a mobile device's signal amplifier.

Problems solved by technology

However, the circuit detecting an average of voltages between outputs at both terminals using a resistor lowers output impedance due to the resistance, so that a gain of an OpAmp is deteriorated.
Also, since the CMFB should have a gain-bandwidth product that is the same as the OpAmp in order to maintain stability, power consumption is considerable and occupies about 40% of the power consumed by each OpAmp Since a baseband filter makes up a large portion of an RFIC in a wireless terminal, power consumption increases due to the CMFB of the OpAmp Accordingly, battery use time reduces, which lowers competitiveness of a product employing the CMFB.

Abstract

An operational amplifier circuit is provided. The operational amplifier circuit includes a differential amplifier of a cascade structure and a switched-capacitor type Common-Mode FeedBack (CMFB) circuit. The differential amplifier amplifies a difference between two input signals to output an anode output voltage and a negative output voltage. The switched-capacitor type CMFB circuit averages the anode output voltage and the negative output voltage of the differential amplifier, compares the average voltage with a reference voltage to generate a feedback signal based on a result of the comparison, and provides the feedback signal to the differential amplifier. Therefore, power consumption is reduced and a battery use time of a wireless terminal can be extended. Also, since an operational amplifier gain of each analog filter terminal is not negatively affected, a Direct Current (DC) offset is reduced, thereby improving signal quality.

Description

PRIORITY[0001]This application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. §119(a) of a Korean patent application filed on Dec. 16, 2011 in the Korean Intellectual Property Office and assigned Serial No. 10-2011-0136718, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to a circuit for amplifying a baseband analog signal in a receiver. More particularly, the present invention relates to a differential operational amplifier to which a switched-capacitor type Common-Mode FeedBack (CMFB) circuit is coupled.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]Generally, a baseband analog filter forming a Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit (RFIC) of a receiver includes a differential Operational Amplifier (OpAmp) of a serial structure of a fifth degree or more. For example, the baseband analog filter has a structure where five or more differential operational amplifiers are serially connected. ...
