  • Patent number: 5798660
    Abstract: A cascoded differential amplifier with a circuit for the injection of current to enhance the gain is described. The differential amplifier includes a differential pair of n-MOS FET's connected to a current source an a positive and a negative input terminal. A pair of isolation n-MOS FET's are inserted between the differential pair and a pair of current source loads. These isolate the current source loads from the differential pair. A current injector is connected to the drains of the n-MOS FET's of the differential pair. The isolation n-MOS FET's and the injected currents enhance the gain of the differential amplifier. A level translation circuit adjusts the output levels of the differential pair to levels required by circuitry attached to the output terminals of the level translation circuitry.
