Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a method including sinking current from a pair of input transistors of a differential amplifier while sourcing more current to the pair of input transistors than is sunk. The method further includes generating a pair of input differential signals using a pair of input voltage regulators, and amplifying a difference between the pair of input differential signals to produce a pair of differential output voltages, using the differential amplifier. The method also includes amplifying the pair of differential output voltages using at least one voltage gain amplifier, and generating control signals for current sources that source the current to the pair of input transistors of the differential amplifier, from the pair of differential output voltages after at least amplification.
