Patent attributes
A Darlington pair amplifier includes a temperature compensation device. In one case, the device is a resistor connected in series between: (a) an intermediate node of two bias resistors for the Darlington pair, and (b) the control terminal of the Darlington pair. In another case, the device is a second, smaller, Darlington pair connected in series with the two bias resistors for the first Darlington pair. In still another case, the device is a combination of: (1) a resistor connected in series between: (a) an intermediate node of the two bias resistors for the Darlington pair, and (b) the control terminal of the Darlington pair; and (2) a second, smaller, Darlington pair connected in series with the two bias resistors for the first Darlington pair.
