Abstract
One embodiment of the invention includes a differential amplifier circuit. A first input stage generates first and second control voltages in response to a differential input signal. A second input stage generates third and fourth control voltages in response to the differential input signal. The first and second control voltages can be inversely proportional and the third and fourth control voltages can be inversely proportional. The circuit also includes a first output stage that is configured to set a magnitude of a first output voltage of a differential output signal at a first output node in response to the first and second control voltages. The circuit further includes a second output stage that is configured to set a magnitude of a second output voltage of the differential output signal at a second output node in response to the third and fourth control voltages.
