A low power current feedback amplifier having a lower output impedance input stage is provided. To reduce the output impedance, an input stage comprises a closed-loop input buffer. An exemplary input buffer comprises a closed-loop current feedback amplifier configured within the overall current feedback amplifier, wherein the output of the input buffer corresponds to the inverting node of the overall current feedback amplifier. The closed-loop configuration of the input buffer is facilitated by the use of an internal feedback resistor coupled from an inverting input terminal of the input buffer to the output of the input buffer, which corresponds to the inverting input terminal of the overall current feedback amplifier. The closed-loop input buffer realizes a low output impedance since the loop gain reduces the output impedance of the input buffer. With a lower output impedance, the bandwidth of the current feedback amplifier becomes more independent of the gain, even at low current implementations.
