Method and system for minimizing differential amplifier power supply sensitivity

摘要

The invention includes an apparatus and a method for minimizing power supply sensitivity of a differential amplifier. The apparatus includes a current source providing a differential amplifier bias current to a common source node of the differential amplifier. A voltage sensor senses variations of a power supply associated with the current source. Variations sensed by the voltage sensor control a magnitude of the differential amplifier bias current. The method includes a current source providing the source current. A voltage potential of the common source node is sensed. The current source is adjusted depending upon the sensed voltage potential of the common source node, thereby adjusting a magnitude of the source current.
