DIFFERENTIAL AMPLIFIER DESIGN AS THE PREAMP OF DMM

摘要

An amplifying circuit comprises a differential input stage having a first input terminal, a second input terminal, and an intermediate node, wherein the differential input stage is configured to generate a differential current flowing through the intermediate node in response to an input voltage difference between the first and second input terminals. The amplifying circuit further comprises a first current source coupled to the intermediate node, which is configured to provide a first bias current which allows the differential current to vary within a predetermined range. The amplifying circuit further comprises an output terminal coupled to the intermediate node, and a second current source coupled to the intermediate node and configured to provide a second bias current. The second bias current compensates the differential current and the first bias current and produces an output current flowing through the output terminal in a predetermined direction. A measurement device is also described.
