  • Publication number: 20110018616
    Abstract: A charge pump circuit for biasing a capacitive transducer. The charge pump circuit includes a plurality of parallel arranged transistor-capacitor units each having a bipolar junction transistor with a collector terminal connected to a base terminal and an emitter terminal connected to a capacitor. The charge pump circuit also includes drive circuitry for driving the transistor-capacitor units at a predetermined rate, as well as load current circuitry connected to a last transistor-capacitor unit and configured to determine a load current through the transistor-capacitor units in order to establish a controllable voltage drop across the transistor-capacitor units. Also included is supply circuitry configured to supply the transistor-capacitor units and drive circuitry, the supply circuitry configured to bias a base-emitter voltage of the transistor-capacitor units proportional to the load current so that an output voltage of the charge pump is substantially independent of temperature fluctuations.

  • Patent number: 7612614
    Abstract: Provided is circuitry for biasing a transistor amplifier with a DC-voltage signal, the transistor amplifier having a first input terminal, a second input terminal, and an output terminal coupled to the second input terminal. The circuitry includes a sensor capacitor connected to the first input terminal and an impedance transistor arranged in parallel with said capacitor, the transistor and capacitor forming a low-pass filter. The circuitry also includes a biasing circuit configured to controllably vary a DC-voltage signal for operatively biasing the amplifier, the biasing circuit including a cascaded current arrangement configured to subdivide a reference current into smaller currents for selectively generating voltage potentials for biasing the impedance transistor to adjustably filter a noise component of the DC-voltage signal via the low-pass filter before the DC-voltage signal is provided to the first input terminal.
