摘要： A switching amplifier, such as a Class D amplifier, includes a current sensing circuit. The current sensing circuit is formed by replica loop circuits that are selectively coupled to corresponding output inverter stages of the switching amplifier. The replica loop circuits operated to produce respective replica currents of the output currents generated by the output inverter stages. A sensing circuitry is coupled to receive the replica currents from the replica loop circuits and operates to produce an output sensing signal as a function of the respective replica currents.

摘要： A phase shifter, which carries out a ninety-degree phase shift of a sinusoidal input signal having an input frequency, at the same input frequency, envisages: a continuous-time all-pass filter stage, which receives the sinusoidal input signal and generates an output signal phase-shifted by 90° at a phase-shift frequency that is a function of a RC time constant of the all-pass filter stage; and a calibration stage, which is coupled to the all-pass filter stage and generates a calibration signal for the all-pass filter stage, such that the phase-shift frequency is equal to the input frequency of the sinusoidal input signal, irrespective of variations of the value of the input frequency and/or of the RC time constant with respect to a nominal value.

摘要： A high-to-low voltage interface circuit includes a differential circuit stage with a differential amplifier circuit having inverting and non-inverting inputs coupled to first and second input pads as well as a differential output having first and second output nodes. A pair of bias amplifier stages sensitive to the common mode voltage of the differential amplifier circuit are arranged in first and second current mirror paths from the first and second input pads to the inverting/non-inverting inputs of the differential amplifier circuit, respectively. The bias amplifier stages are configured to maintain the first input pad and the second input pad of the differential circuit stage at the common mode voltage.
