Abstract:
In one embodiment, the present invention includes multiple gain stages to receive and amplify a differential input signal at different common mode voltages. The stages each may include a pair of linear NMOS gain transistors coupled to a primary coil of a given output transformer. One of the stages may include commonly coupled terminals coupled to a center tap of the primary coil of an output transformer of another stage, and a supply current provided to one of the stages is re-used for the other stage(s).
