Abstract:
An amplifier input stage comprising first and second p-type transistors, wherein sources of the first and second p-type transistors are connected to a first node, a drain of the first p-type transistor is connected to a first output of the amplifier input stage, a drain of the second p-type transistor is connected to a second output of the amplifier input stage, a gate of the first p-type transistor is configured to receive a first signal of an input stage differential input signal and a gate of the second p-type transistor is configured to receive a second signal of the input stage differential input signal; first and second n-type transistors, wherein sources of the first and second n-type transistors are connected to a second node, a drain of the first n-type transistor is connected to a third output of the amplifier input stage, a drain of the second n-type transistor is connected to a fourth output of the amplifier input stage, a gate of the first n-type transistor is configured to receive the first signal of the input stage differential input signal and a gate of the second n-type transistor is configured to receive the second signal of the input stage differential input signal; a first circuit arranged to provide a first portion of a first bias current to the first node; and a second circuit arranged to draw a second portion of the first bias current from the second node; wherein the first and second portions are determined by a first signal of an amplifier input signal.
