Abstract: A circuitry for an incremental delta-sigma modulator includes at least an incremental delta-sigma modulator and a sample-and-hold element, the sample-and-hold element being arranged in front of the incremental delta-sigma modulator and providing an input voltage for the incremental delta-sigma modulator in the charged state, wherein the sample-and-hold element includes a capacitor for charging the input voltage for the incremental delta-sigma modulator, wherein a first switch is arranged in front of the capacitor, and a second switch is arranged behind the capacitor, wherein the first switch is open when the second switch is closed so as to provide, at the incremental delta-sigma modulator, an input voltage decreasing in amount, in particular a decaying input voltage, or wherein the second switch is open when the first switch is closed so as to charge the capacitor of the sample-and-hold element. In addition, a method of operating a circuitry for an incremental delta-sigma modulator is proposed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an operational amplifier, including: a symmetrical differential amplifier; a local common mode feedback circuit coupled to the symmetrical differential amplifier; a tail current source circuit including at least one first transistor and a second transistor and a current source resistor. The tail current source circuit is configured to adjust a control voltage of the first transistor by using the second transistor such that a predetermined reference current flows through a load path of the first transistor.
