Abstract: The operational amplifier disclosed includes an input stage configured to receive power from a floating supply in a low voltage range that can float according to the common mode voltage at the input. The floating supply facilitates the use of low voltage components that can improve the precision of the operational amplifier by lowering the offset voltage. The input stage includes a first gain stage including field effect transistors and a second gain stage using bipolar transistors. The gain stages can be implemented differently to accommodate different applications and fabrication capabilities.

Abstract: The techniques described herein relate to a circuit including an operational amplifier that includes a differential amplifier, a capacitor, and an output stage. The differential amplifier includes a first input and a second input. The output stage is configured to generate an output voltage. The circuit includes a slew-rate boost circuitry connected to the operational amplifier. The slew-rate boost circuitry is configured to detect a voltage differential between the first input and the second input and apply, at an output of the differential amplifier, a boost current to charge the capacitor during a period of time in which the output voltage increases or decreases to a target voltage level.

Abstract: The operational amplifier disclosed includes an input stage configured to receive power from a floating supply circuit in in a low voltage range that can float according to the common mode voltage at the input. The low voltage supply facilitates the use of low voltage components that can improve the precision of the operational amplifier by lowering the offset voltage. The input stage utilizes a first gain block and a second gain block. The first gain block is configured to have a low offset voltage while the second gain h block is configured to have a high gain. Dividing these aspects over separate gain blocks improves the precision and noise performance of the operational amplifier. The operational amplifier has high gain at low frequencies and at high frequencies due to a topology that combines a low gain, high bandwidth path with a high gain, low bandwidth path at the output.

Abstract: Implementations of voltage sensing systems may include: a high side current mirror coupled to a reference current source coupled to at least one diode. The at least one diode may be coupled to a resistor and to a comparator. The resistor may be coupled to the ground. The comparator may be coupled with a reference voltage. The comparator may be configured to receive a comparison voltage from the diode and output whether the comparison voltage is higher or lower than the reference voltage.
