Abstract
Disclosed is an analog voltage memory device comprising a differential amplifier for deriving the difference between two analog inputs, an operational amplifier to which are applied the output of the differential amplifier and the source follower voltage of a MOS type field-effect transistor, switching means interconnected to the output terminal of the operational amplifier and the gate of the field-effect transistor, an output resistor interconnected between the source of the field-effect transistor and a negative power source or ground, and a nonpolarized capacitor interconnected between the gate of the field-effect transistor and a negative power source or ground, whereby the output voltage from the differential amplifier may be derived as the output voltage which is the source follower voltage of the field-effect transistor and is held. The analog voltage memory device may derive and hold the difference between two arbitrary analog inputs for a long time in a very simple manner and therefore has a dual function as an adder or subtractor and as an analog memory and finds very useful and wide applications in the fields of measuring instruments and medical appliances.
