Abstract

A logarithmic amplifier circuit provides pole-zero compensation for improved stability and response time over 6-8 decades of input signal frequency. The amplifier circuit includes a first operational amplifier with a first feedback loop which includes a second, inverting operational amplifier in a second feedback loop. The compensated output signal is provided by the second operational amplifier with the log elements, i.e., resistors, and the compensating capacitors in each of the feedback loops having equal values so that each break point or pole is offset by a compensating break point or zero.

Log amplifier with pole-zero compensation

Patent Brookshier, W

A logarithmic amplifier circuit provides pole-zero compensation for improved stability and response time over 6-8 decades of input signal frequency. The amplifer circuit includes a first operational amplifier with a first feedback loop which includes a second, inverting operational amplifier in a second feedstock loop. The compensated output signal is provided by the second operational amplifier with the log elements, i.e., resistors, and the compensating capacitors in each of the feedback loops having equal values so that each break point is offset by a compensating break point or zero.
Sense amplifier with transistor threshold compensation

Patent Sinangil, Mahmut E.; Poulton, John W.

One embodiment provides, in a sense amplifier for an electronic memory array in which a selected memory cell drives a developing voltage differential according to a logic state of the memory cell, a method to store the logic state. The method includes poising source voltages of first and second transistors at levels offset, respectively, by threshold voltages of the first and second transistors. The method also includes applying the voltage differential between a gate of the first transistor and a gate of the second transistor, the first and second transistors configured to oppose each other in a cross-coupled inverter stagemore » of the sense amplifier. « less

Charge amplifier with bias compensation

Patent Johnson, Gary W [Livermore, CA]

An ion beam uniformity monitor for very low beam currents using a high-sensitivity charge amplifier with bias compensation. The ion beam monitor is used to assess the uniformity of a raster-scanned ion beam, such as used in an ion implanter, and utilizes four Faraday cups placed in the geometric corners of the target area. Current from each cup is integrated with respect to time, thus measuring accumulated dose, or charge, in Coulombs. By comparing the dose at each corner, a qualitative assessment of ion beam uniformity is made possible. With knowledge of the relative area of the Faraday cups, themore » « less

Ping-pong auto-zero amplifier with glitch reduction

Patent Larson, Mark R [Maple Grove, MN]

A ping-pong amplifier with reduced glitching is described. The ping-pong amplifier includes a nulling amplifier coupled to a switching network. The switching network is used to auto-zero a ping amplifier within a ping-pong amplifier. The nulling amplifier drives the output of a ping amplifier to a proper output voltage level during auto-zeroing of the ping amplifier. By being at a proper output voltage level, glitches associated with transitioning between a ping amplifier and a pong amplifier are reduced or eliminated.

Permanent magnet machine and method with reluctance poles and non-identical PM poles for high density operation

Patent Hsu, John S.

A method and apparatus in which a stator (11) and a rotor (12) define a primary air gap (20) for receiving AC flux and at least one source (23, 40), and preferably two sources (23, 24, 40) of DC excitation are positioned for inducing DC flux at opposite ends of the rotor (12). Portions of PM material (17, 17a) are provided as boundaries separating PM rotor pole portions from each other and from reluctance poles. The PM poles (18) and the reluctance poles (19) can be formed with poles of one polarity having enlarged flux paths in relation to fluxmore » « less
