Abstract:
An amplifier circuit comprising an input stage capable of receiving and amplifying an input signal, a gain stage electrically coupled to the input stage that is capable of further amplifying the input signal, and an output stage electrically coupled to the gain stage that is capable of charging a capacitance of the amplifier circuit and outputting the amplified input signal. The gain stage of the amplifier circuit comprises a pair of gain transistors with base terminals that are electrically coupled to the input stage, collector terminals that are electrically coupled to a path to ground, and emitter terminals that are electrically coupled to the output stage.
