A differential stage which uses a bias generator circuit to set the operating currents of the input stage FETs to make the incremental Gm primarily a function of a single resistor embedded in the biasing circuit, such that the input stage has a Gm which only gradually departs from nominal under overdrive, and continues to supply output currents which increase with an increasing differential input signal.

Provided is an output buffer circuit having a slew rate increasing part configured with a switching element. The output buffer circuit can obtain an output voltage having a high slew rate even though a smaller amount of a bias current than that required in a conventional output buffer is used. Therefore, the output buffer circuit can reduce power consumption. In the output buffer circuit with a compensation capacitive load, an input part has two input terminal receiving differential input voltage signals, and an output part increases a gain of the differential input voltages. A current source biases the output part, and a slew rate increasing part is connected to the output part and the compensation capacitive load. The slew rate increasing part includes a switching element to increase a slew rate of the output buffer circuit.

The present invention achieves technical advantages as a preamplifier write driver (10) having a varying common-mode output voltage. This varying common-mode output voltage also adjusts the derivative of the common-mode voltage, which is proportional to the amount of current coupled onto the MR head through parasitic capacitance. Currents of a first circuit (Q0,Q3) and a second circuit (Q1,Q2) are matched to overcome process variations and modeling errors. A pair of transresistance amplifiers (16) are driven by control lines (14) to achieve these matched currents.

A data amplifying circuit for an output driver has a swing level that is controllable according to an operation mode. The data amplifying circuit includes a mode responding circuit supplying an additional source current to a source node of an amplifying circuit in response to a mode selection signal. The mode responding circuit controls the supply of the additional source current in accordance with an operation mode. Another data amplifying circuit of a semiconductor device, according to the invention, includes a small-swing amplifier and a full-swing amplifier. The small-swing amplifier causes a swing level of the output signal to be relatively smaller, while the full-swing amplifier causes the output signal swing level be relatively larger. The small-swing and full-swing amplifiers are alternatively enabled in response to the mode selection signal.

A linearized bipolar differential input stage that contains two high gain current mirrors coupled in series with the input voltage signal through the input transistors to allow the output differential current to greatly exceed the DC output current in a Class AB fashion. The extended output current range over and above the DC current significantly lowers the percentage of effects for both DC offset and noise in the output signal path. Non-linearity cancellation is also optimized for the lowest level of input distortion through adjusting transistor area ratios.
