Japanese Patent JPH0262968
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
An operational amplifier capable of selectively performing a variety of circuit functions is provided. A single operational amplifier utilizes switched capacitors for sampling and holding an input signal, for establishing a low frequency pole, for applying the sample to an output capacitance to charge the capacitance and for comparing the input signal with a reference. The multi-function circuit provides a large savings in circuit area and permits versatility of circuit applications. One embodiment of the invention is to utilize a companding DAC having a capacitor array which may be used as the output capacitance of the operational amplifier circuit. The DAC provided utilizes an R ladder DAC coupled directly to a C DAC and has a switching structure that is simpler than comparable prior art circuits. The DAC is asynchronous and has programmable A-and Mu-255 law PCM conversion capability. Coupled directly to the C DAC is an operational amplifier receive filter circuit which utilizes the C DAC as an input capacitor thereby eliminating the need for a buffer amplifier and allowing the DAC to be used for both analog to digital and digital to analog conversion.
