Abstract

Aspects of the disclosure provide a differential amplifier. The differential amplifier includes a first pair of complementary transistors, a second pair of complementary transistors, and a current source. First control terminals of the first pair of complementary transistors are coupled to a first input node of the differential amplifier and first driving terminals of the first pair of complementary transistors are coupled to a first output node of the differential amplifier for driving a load. Second control terminals of the second pair of complementary transistors are coupled to a second input node of the differential amplifier and second driving terminals of the second pair of complementary transistors coupled to a second output node of the differential amplifier for driving the load. The current source is configured to maintain a substantially constant total current flow through the first pair of complementary transistors and the second pair of complementary transistors.
