Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain high speed operation and to reduce power consumption by forming the circuit as multi-stage constitution of cascode circuits and applying push-pull operation. CONSTITUTION:A differential output of a differential pair has two signal paths, the one is inputted to a cascode circuit comprising transistors(TRs) Q10, Q14 and its output is converted into a single output by TRs Q11, Q15 to drive a gate of a TR Q23. The other signal path is used to drive a gate of the TR Q23. The other signal path connects to a cascode circuit comprising TRs Q18, Q21 via a common source TR circuit comprising TRs Q12, Q16 and its output is converted into a single output by TRs Q19, Q20 to drive the gate comprising a TR Q24. Thus, the TRs Q23, Q24 act like so-called push-pull operation, resulting that high speed operation is attained for both positive and negative cycles.

In the conventional folded cascode operational amplifier circuit described above, the output stage is a class A amplifier circuit, so the maximum value of the sink current to the load (in the case of the polarity of the circuit in Figure 2) is equal to the bias current value of the transistor QIO. It is. Therefore, in order to increase the operating speed of the operational amplifier, it is necessary to set the bias current value of the transistor C23 to a large value, which inevitably leads to an increase in power consumption, and when the allowable power consumption is small, The drawback was that the operating speed was severely limited.
