AMPLIFIER CIRCUIT WITH REGENERATIVE BIASING

摘要

An amplifier having an improved output current drive capability includes an input stage and an output stage. An input of the output stage is operatively coupled to an output of the input stage. The amplifier further includes a current regeneration circuit operatively coupled to the input of the output stage in a feedback arrangement, the current regeneration circuit feeding back a current to the output circuit in accordance with a predetermined scale factor, the fed back current being proportional to an input current supplied to the output stage. The input current supplied to the output stage is dynamically adjustable by the current regeneration circuit in response to an input current requirement at the output stage.
