Abstract
A driving amplifier circuit includes: a first driver for souring a load current to a load; a second driver for sinking the load current from the load; a first operational amplifier (op-amp) coupled to a differential input signal for driving the first driver; a second operational amplifier coupled to the differential input signal for driving the second driver; a first bias circuit for biasing the first driver; a second bias circuit for biasing the second driver; an enabling circuit, coupled to the first bias circuit and the second bias circuit, for enabling either the first bias circuit or the second bias circuit according to a control signal; and a digital control circuit, coupled to the enabling circuit, for monitoring currents of the first driver and the second driver to generate the control signal.
