Abstract
An active load including a current source, a first resistive element, and a switch. The current source is configured to provide a bias current and the first resistive element is configured to receive the bias current and provide a bias voltage. The switch has an input and an output and is configured to receive a drive voltage at the input, receive the bias voltage between the input and the output, provide an output voltage at the output that is sufficiently different than the drive voltage to maintain headroom, and provide an inductive impedance that enhances circuit bandwidth.
