Abstract
An amplifier with enhanced slew rate includes an input stage including a first channel coupled to receive differential inputs and a second channel coupled to receive the differential inputs; a middle stage including a first current source coupled to receive outputs of the second channel and electrically connected to power, a second current source coupled to receive outputs of the first channel and electrically connected to ground, and a floating current source electrically connected between the first current source and the second current source; and an output stage coupled to the middle stage to generate an output voltage. A transit circuit is disposed in the input stage or the middle stage, controlled by the output stage, and configured to supply extra current during signal transition of the differential inputs, thereby enhancing the slew rate.
