An amplifying circuit and method are disclosed for amplifying electrical signals, such as electrical signals generated by the read head of a disk drive. The circuit includes a pair of cross-coupled differential amplifier circuits. Each differential amplifier circuit is asymmetric, including two input transistors of different transistor types. For instance, a first of the two input transistors of each differential amplifier circuit may be a bipolar transistor and a second of the two input transistors may be a field effect transistor. By utilizing asymmetric differential amplifier circuits, a relatively wider operating frequency range is obtained.

A push-pull wideband semiconductor amplifier for use in, for example, a CATV (cable television) system which suppresses deterioration of composite second-order (CSO) distortion in output signals. The push-pull wideband amplifier includes: a divider which divides a signal inputted by way of an input terminal into two signals of differing phase, a first and second amplifying circuit each of which amplifies the signal divided by the divider, and a combiner which combines the two signals amplified by the first and second amplifying circuits into one signal and outputs the result signal. The node between the first amplifying circuit and the second amplifying circuit is an imaginary ground point having a potential of 0 V from the standpoint of an alternating-current signal. A termination circuit is provided between this imaginary ground point and ground and absorbs fluctuation in potential generated at the imaginary ground point. In the event of fluctuation in potential generated at the imaginary ground point, the fluctuation in potential is absorbed by the termination circuit. The standing wave that accompanies fluctuation in potential is therefore not generated, and even-order distortion is suppressed.
