Abstract
The disclosure describes a current feedback amplifier that contains an additional pair of emitter follower transistors connected between inputs of current mirrors, with a capacitor connected to the common emitters of the emitter follower transistors to reduce discontinuities in the output current provided from the current mirrors. The capacitor is used to turn on the non-dominant current mirror prior to the time it is required to dominate the output. In this manner, glitches introduced due to delays in a current mirror switching from an off state to an on state are significantly reduced.
