Arrangement for calibrating the quiescent operating point of a push-pull amplifier

A signal processing arrangement comprises an amplifier (AMP V1) that includes a stage with complementary transistors (MP3, MN3) of opposite conductivity type arranged in series between two supply lines (+, −). A controllable biasing circuit (CCS) is provided for changing a quiescent operating point...

Zusammenfassung:A signal processing arrangement comprises an amplifier (AMP V1) that includes a stage with complementary transistors (MP3, MN3) of opposite conductivity type arranged in series between two supply lines (+, −). A controllable biasing circuit (CCS) is provided for changing a quiescent operating point of the stage as a function of a control signal (CS). A control arrangement measures an even order 5 distortion of the amplifier (AMP V1) and adjusts the control signal (CS) so that the even order distortion is below a critical level.
