Abstract: A floating, balanced output stage maintains control of the common-mode output current in both output legs even when the differential voltage output is clipped.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a buffer stage for buffering and isolating a signal source from an external load. The stage has a signal input terminal for receiving an input signal from said signal source and a signal output terminal for providing an output signal, corresponding to said input signal, to the external load. The stage comprises an input section including at least two driver transistors each arranged so as to operate with a predetermined bias current. The stage further comprises an output section including at least two output transistors each arranged so as to operate with a predetermined quiescent current, and a voltage source, coupled to the input and output sections and constructed and arranged so as to set the quiescent currents flowing through the output transistors substantially independent of the size of the bias current flowing through the driver transistors.

Abstract: A current sensor for detecting AC current through a load impedance of an electrical circuit. Sensor components are fabricated within a multilayer board so that a board can be made to comprise a plurality of independent sensors. The sensor includes a transformer circuit including a primary coil which is electrically coupled in series with the current path of the electrical circuit. This primary coil includes at least one current path element, in the form of a conductive strip constructed so as to add minimal resistance and inductance to the electrical circuit. The transformer secondary comprises at least a first electrically conductive coil inductively coupled to at least a part of the current path, and preferably a second electrically conductive coil inductively coupled to a second part of current path of the electrical circuit.

Abstract: An integrated circuit has at least two components described in the form of two ideally matched transistors, each of which operate interdependently as a function of temperature and at least one physical parameter associated with each of said components when implemented in integrated form. The circuit further includes compensation means, disposed in the integrated circuit, for generating and applying a bipolar compensation signal to at least one of said components so that said two components interdependently operate predictably, consistently and independently of temperature variations and differences between the physical parameter of said two components. The bipolar current is necessary so that both the level and polarity of the compensation signal can be appropriately adjusted during the manufacture of the integrated circuit as a wafer so as to eliminate the need to compensate for any mismatches in the two components following such manufacture.
