Code converter with complementary output voltages.

摘要

A double-ended code converter (10) contains three or more like-configured amplifiers (T0 - TM+1). Each has a first flow electrode (E1), a second flow electrode (E2), and a control electrode (CE) for receiving a signal to control charge carriers moving from the first electrode to the second. The first electrodes are coupled to a circuit supply (12) which may be a current source or a voltage supply, the second electrodes are selectively coupled to one or the other of a pair of lines (LB and LBN) which are coupled to respective load elements (14B and 14BN) to provide a pair of complementary signals.
