Abstract
Examples of amplifiers use current-replication transistors and a separation circuit coupled to such transistors to separate error current components from other current components in a pre-driver of an amplifier. In response to driving the current-replication transistors with the separated error current components, replica base current components that approximate error-modulation components of the pre-driver base currents are generated. Replica-current subtraction circuitry coupled to the current-replication transistors then subtract the replica base current components from the pre-driver base currents, affecting cancellation of the error-modulation components of the pre-driver base currents.
