An improved instantaneous floating point amplifier is provided having a plurality of cascaded amplifier stages, wherein the gain of a given stage of the amplifier is the square of the gain of the immediately succeeding stage of the amplifier. The number of amplifier stages which are required to implement the amplifier is minimized, and the control logic which is required to decide if a given stage is needed to amplify the input signal to a level within preselected limits is simplified. The amplifier has an automatic nulling feature which permits nulling of the amplifier without loss of data.
