A limiting amplifier has between an amplifier input and an amplifier output at least one amplifier stage as well as load components. The amplifier has an output signal limiting device for limiting the maximum amplitude of the output signal and the amplification and includes a current drain device connected to the amplifier stage output and drawing current through the load components. More particularly, the amplifier stage can be a differential amplifier stage with a differential input and a differential output, two current drain devices being connected to each one of the terminals of the differential output. |
