Dual Operational Transconductance Amplifiers with Linearizing Diodes and Buffers
V13700D/M

Overview The V13700M/D series consists of two current controlled transconductance amplifiers, each with differential inputs and a push-pull output. The two amplifiers share common supplies but otherwise operate independently. Linearizing diodes are provided at the inputs to reduce distortion and allow higher input levels. The result is a 10 dB signal-tonoise improvement referenced to 0.5 percent THD. High impedance buffers are provided which are especially designed to complement the dynamic range of the amplifiers. The output buffers of the V13700M/D differ from those of the LM13600 in that their input bias currents (and hence their output DC levels) are independent of IABC. This may result in performance superior to that of the LM13600 in audio applications.
Its features are:
� gm adjustable over 6 decades � Excellent gm linearity � Excellent matching between amplifiers � Linearizing diodes � High impedance buffers � High output signal-to-noise ratio

Collector currents I4 and I5 are not very useful by themselves and it is necessary to subtract one current from the other. The remaining transistors and diodes form three current mirrors that produce an output current equal to I5 minus I4 thus:

[VIN

(5)

The term in brackets is then the transconductance of the amplifier and is proportional to IABC.

Linearizing Diodes
For differential voltages greater than a few millivolts, Equation (3) becomes less valid and the transconductance becomes increasingly nonlinear. Figure 1 demonstrates how the internal diodes can linearize the transfer function of the amplifier. For convenience assume the diodes are biased with current sources and the input signal is in the form of current IS. Since the sum of I4 and I5 is IABC and the difference is IOUT, currents I4 and I5 can be written as follows:

I4 =

Notice that in deriving Equation (6) no approximations have been made and there are no temperature-dependent terms. The limitations are that the signal current not exceed ID/2 and that the diodes be biased with currents. In practice, replacing the current sources with resistors will generate insignificant errors.

V13700D/M
Applications Voltage Controlled Amplifiers Figure 2 shows how the linearizing diodes can be used in a voltage-controlled amplifier. To understand the input biasing, it is best to consider the 13 k resistor as a current source and use a Thevenin equivalent circuit as shown in Figure 3. This circuit is similar to Figure 1 and operates the same. The potentiometer in Figure 2 is adjusted to minimize the effects of the control signal at the output.
Figure 1. Linearizing Diodes
For optimum signal-to-noise performance, IABC should be as large as possible as shown by the Output Voltage vs. Amplifier Bias Current graph. Larger amplitudes of input signal also improve the S/N ratio. The linearizing diodes help here by allowing larger input signals for the same output distortion as shown by the Distortion vs. Differential Input Voltage graph. S/N may be optimized by adjusting the magnitude of the input signal via RIN (Figure 2) until the output distortion is below some desired level. The output voltage swing can then be set at any level by selecting RL. Although the noise contribution of the linearizing diodes is negligible relative to the contribution of the amplifier's internal transistors, ID should be as large as possible. This minimizes the dynamic junction resistance of the diodes (re) and maximizes their linearizing action when balanced against RIN. A value of 1 mA is recommended for ID unless the specific application demands otherwise.

Stereo Volume Control
The circuit of Figure 4 uses the excellent matching of the two V13700M/D amplifiers to provide a Stereo Volume Control with a typical channel-to-channel gain tracking of 0.3 dB. RP is provided to minimize the output offset voltage and may be replaced with two 510  resistors in AC-coupled applications. For the component values given, amplifier gain is derived for Figure 2 as being:

The constant term in the above equation may be cancelled by feeding IS x IDRC/2(V- + 1.4 V) into IO. The circuit of Figure 6 adds RM to provide this current, resulting in a four-quadrant multiplier where RC is trimmed such that VO = 0 V for VIN2 = 0 V. RM also serves as the load resistor for IO.

Noting that the gain of the V13700M/D amplifier of Figure 3 may be controlled by varying the linearizing diode current ID as well as by varying IABC, Figure 7 shows an AGC Amplifier using this approach. As VO reaches a high enough amplitude (3VBE) to turn on the Darlington transistors and the linearizing diodes, the increase in ID reduces the amplifier gain so as to hold VO at that level.

Voltage Controlled Resistors An Operational Transconductance Amplifier (OTA) may be used to implement a Voltage Controlled Resistor as shown in Figure 8. A signal voltage applied at RX generates a VIN to the V13700M/D which is then multiplied by the gm of the amplifier to produce an output current, thus: where gm  19.2IABC at 25 �C. Note that the attenuation of VO by R and RA is necessary to maintain VIN within the linear range of the V13700M/D input. Figure 9 shows a similar VCR where the linearizing diodes are added, essentially improving the noise performance of the resistor. A floating VCR is shown in Figure 10, where each "end" of the "resistor" may be at any voltage within the output voltage range of the V13700M/D.

Voltage Controlled Filters OTA's are extremely useful for implementing voltage controlled filters, with the V13700M/D having the advantage that the required buffers are included on the I.C. The VC Lo-Pass Filter of Figure 11 performs as a unity-gain buffer amplifier at frequencies below cut-off, with the cut-off frequency being the point at which XC/gm equals the closed-loop gain of (R/RA). At frequencies above cut-off the circuit provides a single RC roll-off (6 dB per octave) of the input signal amplitude with a -3 dB point defined by the given equation, where gm is again 19.2 x IABC at room temperature. Figure 12 shows a VC High-Pass Filter which operates in much the same manner, providing a single RC roll-off below the defined cut-off frequency. Additional amplifiers may be used to implement higher order filters as demonstrated by the two-pole Butterworth Lo-Pass Filter of Figure 13 and the state variable filter of Figure 14. Due to the excellent gm tracking of the two amplifiers, these filters perform well over several decades of frequency.

Voltage Controlled Oscillators The classic Triangular/Square Wave VCO of Figure 15 is one of a variety of Voltage Controlled Oscillators which may be built utilizing the V13700M/D. With the component values shown, this oscillator provides signals from 200 kHz to below 2 Hz as IC is varied from 1 mA to 10 nA. The output amplitudes are set by IA x RA. Note that the peak differential input voltage must be less than 5 V to prevent zenering the inputs.
A few modifications to this circuit produce the ramp/pulse VCO of Figure 16. When VO2 is high, IF is added to IC to increase amplifier A1's bias current and thus to increase the charging rate of capacitor C. When VO2 is low, IF goes to zero and the capacitor discharge current is set by IC. The VC Lo-Pass Filter of Figure 11 may be used to produce a high-quality sinusoidal VCO. The circuit of Figure 16 employs two V13700M/D packages, with three of the amplifiers configured as lo-pass filters and the fourth as a limiter/inverter. The circuit oscillates at the frequency at which the loop phase-shift is 360� or 180� for the inverter and 60� per filter stage. This VCO operates from 5 Hz to 50 kHz with less than 1% THD.

Additional Applications Figure 19 presents an interesting one-shot which draws no power supply current until it is triggered. A positivegoing trigger pulse of at least 2 V amplitude turns on the amplifier through RB and pulls the non-inverting input high. The amplifier regenerates and latches its output high until capacitor C charges to the voltage level on the non-inverting input. The output then switches low, turning off the amplifier and discharging the capacitor. The capacitor discharge rate is speeded up by shorting the diode bias pin to the inverting input so that an additional discharge current flows through DI when the amplifier output switches low. A special feature of this timer is that the other amplifier, when biased from VO, can perform another function and draw zero stand-by power as well.
V13700M
Figure 19. Zero Stand-By Power Time
The operation of the multiplexer of Figure 20 is very straightforward. When A1 is turned on it holds VO equal to VIN1 and when A2 is supplied with bias current then it controls VO. CC and RC serve to stabilize the unity-gain configuration of amplifiers A1 and A2. The maximum clock rate is limited to about 200 kHz by the V13700M/D slew rate into 150 pF when the (VIN1�VIN2) differential is at its maximum allowable value of 5 V. The Phase-Locked Loop of Figure 21 uses the four-quadrant multiplier of Figure 6 and the VCO of Figure 18 to produce a PLL with a �5% hold-in range and an input sensitivity of about 300 mV.

Figure 23 shows a Tachometer or Frequency-to-Voltage converter. Whenever A1 is toggled by a positive-going input, an amount of charge equal to (VH�VL) Ct is sourced into Cf and Rt. This once per cycle charge is then balanced by the current of VO/Rt. The maximum FIN is limited by the amount of time required to charge Ct from VL to VH with a current of IB, where VL and VH represent the maximum low and maximum high output voltage swing of the V13700M/D. D1 is added to provide a discharge path for Ct when A1 switches low. The Peak Detector of Figure 24 uses A2 to turn on A1 whenever VIN becomes more positive than VO. A1 then charges storage capacitor C to hold VO equal to VIN PK. Pulling the output of A2 low through D1 serves to turn off A1 so that VO remains constant.

The Ramp-and-Hold of Figure 26 sources IB into capacitor C whenever the input to A1 is brought high, giving a ramp-rate of about 1 V/ms for the component values shown. The true-RMS converter of Figure 27 is essentially an automatic gain control amplifier which adjusts its gain such that the AC power at the output of amplifier A1 is constant. The output power of amplifier A1 is monitored by squaring amplifier A2 and the average compared to a reference voltage with amplifier A3. The output of A3 provides bias current to the diodes of A1 to attenuate the input signal. Because the output power of A1 is held constant, the RMS value is constant and the attenuation is directly proportional to the RMS value of the input voltage. The attenuation is also proportional to the diode bias current. Amplifier A4 adjuststhe ratio of currents through the diodes to be equal and therefore the voltage at the output of A4 is proportional to the RMS value of the input voltage. The calibration potentiometer is set such that VO reads directly in RMS volts.

The circuit of Figure 28 is a voltage reference of variable Temperature Coefficient. The 100 k potentiometer adjusts the output voltage which has a positive TC above 1.2 V, zero TC at about 1.2 V, and negative TC below 1.2 V. This is accomplished by balancing the TC of the A2 transfer function against the complementary TC of D1. The wide dynamic range of the V13700M/D allows easy control of the output pulse width in the Pulse Width Modulator of Figure 29. For generating IABC over a range of 4 to 6 decades of current, the system of Figure 30 provides a logarithmic current out for a linear voltage in. Since the closed-loop configuration ensures that the input to A2 is held equal to 0V, the output current of A1 is equal to I3 = -VC/RC. The differential voltage between Q1 and Q2 is attenuated by the R1,R2 network so that A1 may be assumed to be operating within its linear range.
From Equation (5), the input voltage to A1 is:
