Abstract

An amplifier including a P-channel transistor having current terminals coupled between a first node and a second node and having a control terminal coupled to a third node receiving an input voltage, an N-channel transistor having current terminals coupled between a fourth node developing an output voltage and a supply voltage reference and having a control terminal coupled to the second node, a first resistor coupled between the first node and a supply voltage, a second resistor coupled between the first and fourth nodes, and a current sink sinking current from the second node to the supply reference node. The amplifier may be converted to differential form for amplifying a differential input voltage. Current devices may be adjusted for common mode, and may be moved or added to improve headroom or to improve power supply rejection. Chopper circuits may be added to reduce 1/f noise.
