Figure 2 in accordance with paragraph 4 of the claims outputs 11 and 9 of the device are also associated with additional inputs differential buffer cascade 32. Consider the work multidifferential operational amplifier (MOU) figure 2. Input signals containing common-mode and differential components, served on the base of the first 12 input transistor and the second 13 input transistor. This raises the increment currents i, 12 , 13 , and through the use of the first 19 scaling resistor connected between the outputs of the first 17 and the second 18 sources of reference current, there is a partial deduction phase and the sum differential components of the increments of the currents i 12 i 13 , resulting in the first 7 and the second 10-two-terminal loads occur voltage drops summarized differential and left after partial deduction common-mode components increments currents i 12 i 13. The presence of the cascade 29 selection of the output common-mode voltage 1 input differential Converter "voltage-current" allows to create two paths negative feedback: 1. The first the circuit. "The first 2 output 1 input differential Converter "voltage-current - output cascade 29 selection of the output common-mode voltage 1 input differential Converter "voltage-current" is the control input 27 of the first 17 reference current source output of the first 17 reference current source - emitter first 12 input transistor collector of the first 12 input transistor"; 2. The second circuit. "The second 3 output 1 input differential Converter "voltage-current - output cascade 29 selection of the output common-mode voltage 1 input differential Converter "voltage-current" is the control input 28 the second 18 reference current source output of the second 18 reference current source - emitter second 13 input transistor collector second 13 input transistor". These contours negative feedback provide additional common mode rejection components due to their summation cascade 29 selection of the output common-mode voltage 1 input differential Converter "voltage-current". At that, these paths do not affect differential (antiphase) components the voltage drops on the first 7 and the second 10-two-terminal pressures from zero result, when combined cascade 29 selection of the output common-mode voltage 1 input differential Converter "voltage-current". Similarly describes the principle of operation of the first 1 input differential Converter "voltage-current with the first 7 and 10 second a two-terminal loads and cascade 29 selection of the output common-mode voltage 1 input differential Converter "voltage-current" functions the second 6 input differential Converter "voltage-current". After this, the differential gain and attenuation-phase components of the stress on the first 7 and the second 10-two-terminal loads with additional differential buffer cascade 32, the output of which is the output of the MOU. Analysis scheme allows you to define the coefficients of transmission on each channel MOU K 1 + ( j ω ) = u In s x . ∑ ( j ω ) u 15 ( j ω ) = - K 1 - = - u In s x . ∑ ( j ω ) u 14 ( j ω ) = ( S E. 12 ( j ω ) Z n 7 + S E. 13 ( j ω ) Z n 10 ) K ( j ω ) , ( 1 ) K 2 + ( j ω ) = u In s x . ∑ ( j ω ) u 23 ( j ω ) = - K 2 - = - u In s x . ∑ ( j ω ) u 22 ( j ω ) = ( S E. 20 ( j ω ) Z n 7 + S E. 21 ( j ω ) Z n 10 ) K ( j ω ) . ( 2 )Here's a (jω) is equivalent to the steepness of the i-th transistor S E. 12 ( j ω ) = S 12 ( j ω ) 1 + S 12 ( j ω ) / S 13 ( j ω ) + S 12 ( j ω ) R 19 ≈ 1 R 19 , ( 3 ) S E. 13 ( j ω ) = S 13 ( j ω ) 1 + S 13 ( j ω ) / S 12 ( j ω ) + S 13 ( j ω ) R 19 ≈ 1 R 19 , ( 4 )where S i is the steepness of the i-th transistor, R j - resistance of the j-th scaling resistor of the schema To - differential gain additional differential buffer cascade 32. Thus attenuation coefficients of the input common-mode voltage of the first 1 and the second 6 input differential converters "voltage-current", respectively, are determined by the expression K about with with n 1 = ( 1 1 + S 13 R i 17 1 + R i 17 ( S 17 + S 24 ) K c - 1 1 + S 12 R i 18 1 + R i 18 ( S 18 + S 25 ) K with ) - 1 , ( 7 ) K about with with n 2 = ( 1 1 + S 21 R i 24 1 + R i 24 ( S 24 + S 17 ) K with - 1 1 + S 20 R i 25 1 + R i 25 ( S 25 + S 18 ) K with ) - 1 , ( 8 )where R ij - differential output resistance of the j-th transistor or reference current source(17, 18, 24, 25), K c - gain voltage cascade 29 selection of the output common-mode voltage 1 input differential Converter "voltage-current". IfR i17 (S 17 +S 24 )C K >>1, R i18 (S 18 +S 25 )c K >>1 and R i24 (S 24 +S 17 )C K >>1, R i25 (S 25 +S 18 )C K >>1,then you find that: K about with with n 1 = ( 1 1 + S 13 ( S 17 + S 24 ) K C - 1 1 + S 12 ( S 18 + S 25 ) K C ) - 1 . ( 9 ) K about with with n 2 = ( 1 1 + S 21 ( S 24 + S 17 ) K C - 1 1 + S 20 ( S 25 + S 18 ) K C ) - 1 . ( 10 )So by the way, in the MOU 2 coefficients K ASSN , K ASSN are minimized by the depth of input into the scheme feedback (K C ) without changing the differential coefficients of transmission channels (1) and (2). Feature of this scheme is a rigid correlation their gain channels the differential conversion of an input signal K 1 + K 2 + = K 1 - K 2 - = R 26 R 19 . ( 11 )Therefore, the use of this MOU in the devices with feedback provides through R 19 and R 26 necessary correlation and coordination local transfer functions of complex electric circuits. As is seen from (1), (2) increased Z H7 , Z H10 and symmetry of channels allows to reduce the effect of difference boundary stresses active circuit elements. In particular, zero drift amplifier open condition MOU is determined by the expression U D. R = U D. R 1 K , ( 12 )where U DR1 - zero drift input dual differential cascade MOU, K - differential gain additional differential buffer cascade 32. In addition boundary voltage input circuits of MOU, which is provided by their linear range, increase at the expense of application of these scaling resistors (R 19 , R 26 ). This leads to an increase in the rate of output voltage rise MOU and stabilizes the modes of operation of the input transistors 12, 13, 20 and 21. Indeed, the boundary voltage 1 first and second 6 input differential converters "voltage-current" accordingly defined by the following expressions U g R 1 ≈ U g R .12 * + U g R .13 * + R 19 I 0 , ( 13 ) U g R 6 ≈ U g R .20 * + U g R .21 * + R 26 I 0 , ( 14 )where I 0 =I 17 =18 I =I 24 =25 I - static current sources supporting current 17, 18, 24, 25. U g R . i *- boundary input voltage of the i-th transistor ( U g R . i * ≈ 25 m In ) .The increase boundary stresses (13) and (14) by resistors R 19 and R 26 reduces the influence of error manufacturing input transistor converters 12, 13; 20, 21 on currents equivalent loads and, therefore, the drift. As can be seen from formula i 12, ( 13 ) ( Δ U * ) = S 12, ( 13 ) Δ U * 1 + S 12, ( 13 ) R 19 + S 12, ( 13 ) / S 13, ( 12 ) ( 15 ) i 20, ( 21 ) ( Δ U * ) = S 20, ( 21 ) Δ U * 1 + S 20, ( 21 ) R 19 + S 20, ( 21 ) / S 21, ( 20 ) , ( 16 )where ΔU I - technological difference boundary stresses input converters, this increases the stability of the modes of operation of active elements of the input circuits, the defence Ministry. The results of computer simulation of the defence presented in diagrams 5-12? confirm that the proposed device has a higher value of attenuation of the input common-mode signals and is characterized by the improved values of other parameters. The proposed MOU can be used in structure of broadband interfaces, sensor and measuring systems. THE BIBLIOGRAPHIC LIST 1. Patent US 4835488, fig.3. 2.
