Abstract

See full text

A voltage amplifier AD comprising two transistors (Q1, Q2) arranged as a differential pair, having collectors which are connected to a positive power supply terminal (VCC) by means of two branches each comprising a resistive load. Each branch comprises at least two resistive elements (R11, R12, R21, R22) arranged in series. The amplifier AD is also provided with means for comparing the potentials of the different nodes of the circuit, which means allow addition of a first and a second current (IO, IO') to the current supplied in a portion of the resistive load of the second branch. These currents allow rectification of the non-linearity of the evolution of the output voltage (Vout) as a function of the input voltage (Vin).
