Abstract
A fully differential operational amplifier having unity gain is provided. The amplifier includes a differential input stage having two pairs of differential inputs. One pair receives the input signal. The other pair is connected internally to receive differential mode feedback from the output stage. The two pairs of differential inputs are combined with a common mode feedback signal and cascoded to the output. The amplifier incorporates automatic internal noise cancellation due to its differential mode feedback, and may be constructed in MOS logic, or in BiCMOS for high frequency operation. Applications include buffering for filters in circuitry requiring high speed and noise cancellation, such as data channels and servo channels in data recording devices.
