An apparatus for amplifying an input signal is provided. The apparatus includes an output stage to generate an output signal. The apparatus further includes a compensation signal generator configured to generate a compensation signal based on at least one of a voltage value of the input signal or a voltage value of the output signal. The apparatus further includes a combiner configured to generate a control signal for the output stage based on a target signal, the compensation signal and a signal related to a current value of the output stage. The target signal corresponds to a desired output signal. The output stage is configured to generate the output signal using the control signal.
