Moreover, this amplifier reaps the benefits of incorporating a foldback current limiting circuit,which enables the low-dropout voltage regulator without the need of a special current limiting subblock. Therefore,the object of ultra-low power is realized because of a great reduction in transistors and current limbs.展开更多

Consisting of four single-end OPAs,this structure is a pseudo-differential system. Compared to conventional CMOS power AMPs, it has the merits of low power consumption, extremely low THD,easy compensation, and good driving capability. With 1st silicon 0.25μm 1P4M CMOS technology and a 3V power supply,the output range can be 4Vpp when driving an 8Ω‖ 300pF load, while its power dissipation is less than 3mW. The THD is better than 0. 003% at 1kHz. A new over-current protection circuit, which can effectively protect the power output circuits on the chip, is also demonstrated.展开更多
